The situation in Venezuela is sensitive following the capture of president Nicolás Maduro Jan. 3 in a U.S. military operation. But Danny Ocean sent a clear message of hope via X to his fellow Venezuelans on Wednesday (Jan. 7).

“My FAITH is too STRONG, and nobody or nothing is going to bring it down. Let them talk, let them debate; the real plan comes from the Universe,” his post began. “And you know what’s the most incredible thing? It was a WOMAN who revealed and exposed the truth to the world and the heavens. She knew we couldn’t fight stones against bullets, but a bullet against the truth stands no chance. From that moment, our hearts immediately felt that this time everything was different.”

“And do you know why?” he continued. “Because when we take away excuses from God and show Him we’ve done everything we could on our part, He knows it’s His turn. Just like life itself. One step at a time!”

The message came during a time of uncertainty and fear of retaliation in the South American country. On Monday, when Delcy Rodríguez assumed the role of interim president of Venezuela, authorities issued a decree granting broad powers to the presidency and ordered security forces to capture “any person involved in the promotion or support” of the incursion that took place early Saturday, according to CNN.

Ocean, who has always been vocal about the political situation in his country and recently performed in Oslo at the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony in honor of opposition leader María Corina Machado, shared his thoughts on X following Maduro’s capture.

On Saturday, hours after President Donald Trump confirmed the capture of Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, and their transfer to New York City to face criminal charges related to narco-terrorism, Ocean simply shared on his Instagram Stories an image of the Venezuelan flag accompanied by Mathias Fritsche’s musical piece “Honor Him” from the movie Gladiator, followed by Machado’s statement of the day. “Today we are prepared to enforce our mandate and take power,” she wrote in a message titled “The Hour of Freedom Has Arrived.” “Let us remain vigilant, active, and organized until the democratic transition is achieved. A transition that needs all of us.”

Tengo la FE demasiada en ALTA, y nadie ni nada me la va a bajar. Que hablen, que debatan, el verdadero plan viene del Universo. Y saben que es lo mas arrecho? Fue una MUJER la que demostró y expuso la verdad al mundo y a los cielos. Ella sabia que no podíamos pelear piedras…
