He is a bad guy, and lots of folks are glad he's gone. The provides a flimsy justification for the action. Regardless of what a creep Maduro is, his kidnapping and extradition appears to be in violation of US and international laws, as well as terrible precedent for other foreign tyrants.

The question is, again, what can be done? We've had people waving signs in town, my elected officials have all condemned the actions, and I thank them for doing so.

What do you think we could do?
