   When the United States swooped into Venezuela during its weekend raid   
   that resulted in the capture of Nicolás Maduro, the elite Delta Force   
   was leading the way.   
      
   And when it comes to units leading the way it doesn’t get much better   
   than 1st Special Forces Operational — Delta, which the unit is   
   officially known as. Newsweek called Delta Force “the army’s most elite   
   counterterrorism and direct-action unit.”   
      
   Which is to says Delta is about as efficient and deadly as it gets.   
      
   Donald Trump and leaders in his orbit spent the rest of the weekend   
   throwing out names of new countries that the United States could go   
   after next — Mexico, Cuba and even Greenland were tossed around.   
      
   But one Trump-backing country music star, John Rich, had a pitch of his   
   own on social media and it involved using Delta Force inside the United   
   States.   
      
   “The next Delta operation should be extracting Tina Peters from her   
   holding cell,” Rich wrote on X.   
      
   Peters is the former election clerk in Mesa County who is currently   
   serving a nine-year prison sentence. She was convicted of facilitating a   
   data breach into her county’s election system during the 2020   
   presidential election.   
      
   Trump issued a pardon for Peters on Dec. 5, but a president cannot   
   pardon a person who was tried and convicted in a state court.   
      
   Despite that fact, Trump and his followers have continued to push for   
   her release, and Rich has not been the first to suggest military   
   intervention to free Peters.   
      
   And Rich’s post got plenty of support on X.

   The next Delta operation should be extracting Tina Peters from her   
   holding cell in Colorado.

   “This needs to happen,” MAGA social media influencer Gunther Eagleman   
   replied. “I support it.”   
      
   “AGREED!” the Jerrod Sessler for Congress account replied. “Get her out   
   of there.”   
      
   There were plenty more comments like that and you can see them all here.   
      
   Of course, there were plenty of folks who jumped in his replies to shoot   
   down the suggestion, too.   
      
   “Conservative who believes in 50 states acting as one Nation checking in   
   …” one person wrote. “You do that and you might as well strip away any   
   law enforcement power states have and just go ahead and centralize   
   government. Democrats would love that.”
