The NYT has its faults, many of them, but its editorial board has been consistent in calling out the lawlessness of this White House.
"We will hold out hope that the current crisis will end less badly than we expect. We fear that the result of Mr. Trump’s adventurism is increased suffering for Venezuelans, rising regional instability and lasting damage for America’s interests around the world. We know that Mr. Trump’s warmongering violates the law."

Contrast the NYT op-ed with the fawning one in the WaPo -
"What happened in Caracas was a clear reminder that America’s military, intelligence and cyber capabilities are second to none.
This is a major victory for American interests.
Maduro’s removal sends an important message to tin-pot dictators in Latin America and the world: Trump follows through.
Trump offered Maduro several off-ramps. Instead, he will probably die in prison."
