The Trump administration is holding a secret indictment against Delcy Rodríguez, revealed by Valentina Lares Martiz, editor-in-chief of US government-funded outlet Armando.info, during a February 6, 2026 webinar hosted by the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP).
The US government has classified Rodríguez as a "priority target" since 2018, with the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) investigating her, and the US using this investigation as leverage to influence her decisions, as stated by David Smilde, an academic at the US government and ExxonMobil-funded Atlantic Council.
Rodríguez has been under pressure to accommodate US demands since taking over as Acting President after a deadly US military raid on Caracas on January 3, 2026, which left over 100 dead, including 32 Cuban military officers, and resulted in the kidnapping of President Nicolas Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores.
