Jorge, another Venezuelan who lives near Caracas, told the BBC that while he's grateful to be "well-supported by Trump and the entire United States", he fears the coming days will not be easy.
"Now that they are taking this man away, what's going to happen?" he said. "It doesn't guarantee us anything. So there is a bit of uncertainty. We don't know what the coming days will bring."
Supporters of Maduro's government have also been rallying in the streets of Caracas, demanding the US release their leader. Caracas Mayor Carmen Meléndez, a firm government loyalist, joined in the rally to protest against what she called Maduro's "kidnapping".
Early on Saturday, US forces under President Donald Trump carried out a series of targeted attacks in Venezuela's capital, ultimately taking the country's leader into US custody.
The US accuses Maduro of running a "narco-terrorist" regime, a claim he denies. He is widely seen by opponents within his country as well as by foreign governments as having illegitimately won Venezuela's 2024 election.
Maduro - who leads the United Socialist Party and has been in power since 2013 - has frequently been accused of repressing opposition groups and silencing dissent in Venezuela, at times with the use of violence.
As Maduro and his wife are taken to New York City to face drug trafficking and weapons charges, the future of Venezuela remains unclear. Trump has said the US will run the country - and manage its oil reserves - until a permanent replacement for Maduro can be established.
Maduro has previously rejected US claims he has direct involvement in drug trafficking.
But even for those who are grateful to see Maduro gone, there's still a lot of fear and uncertainty, several Venezuelans told the BBC.
Dina isn't putting much faith in Trump.
"He says something now and tomorrow he changes his mind," Dina said. "I mean, I'm not used to taking his words seriously."
The "only thing that was good" about what Trump has said since Maduro's capture, Dina said, was that the US will be investing in Venezuela, which she hopes will lead to "a better economic situation" for the struggling country.
