"The people that were involved—Delta Force, the 160th, Air Force groups, Navy operations off ships—over 160 platforms in the air. We cut the power, went in, took Maduro out of a house inside a major military installation, all without a single loss of life. Eric Eggers, Vice President of Research at the Government Accountability Institute, tied Governor Tim Walz's announcement on January 5, 2026, that he would not seek a third term directly to escalating scrutiny over massive welfare fraud in Minnesota.
