WASHINGTON _ U.S. diplomats Thursday were restricted to three affluent areas of Caracas, a sign of the stark security concerns around them as they defy the order of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro to depart the country by Sunday.
A daily security alert from the U.S. Embassy warned that protests may continue all week in Caracas and asked U.S. government personnel to keep their children out of school.
It's unclear how many U.S. Embassy staff remain in Caracas. The State Department said it would not comment on staffing levels.
