Michigan family stuck in Caribbean over U.S. operation in Venezuela

The ripple effect from the U.S. military operation in Venezuela and capture of former Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro has impacted more people than you might think.
There have been grounded flights throughout the Caribbean all week, which is making for a frustrating and expensive time for Americans who have been stuck and unable to get home.
Derrick and Athena Chriss traveled to the picturesque St. Kitts and Nevis for a tropical vacation over New Year’s with their two kids. But their plans to get back home have completely unraveled.
“We’re trying to be as calm as we can for our children,” said Athena Chriss of Almont, Michigan.
The Chriss family’s flights back to Michigan on Saturday were cancelled. On that day, just a few hundred miles south of them, America struck Venezuela’s capital and captured Maduro and his wife.
