The U.S. military used Anthropic’s artificial-intelligence tool Claude during the operation that captured Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro, according to a report.

Last month, U.S. special operations forces captured Maduro and his wife, who were brought to the U.S. to face sweeping narcotics charges.

Claude was deployed through Anthropic’s partnership with data company Palantir Technologies, whose tools are widely used by the Defense Department and federal law enforcement, according to The Wall Street Journal, which cited people familiar with the matter.

"We cannot comment on whether Claude, or any other AI model, was used for any specific operation, classified or otherwise," an Anthropic spokesperson told Fox News Digital. "Any use of Claude — whether in the private sector or across government — is required to comply with our Usage Policies, which govern how Claude can be deployed. We work closely with our partners to ensure compliance."

Anthropic’s usage guidelines prohibit Claude from being used for violence, weapons development, or surveillance.

A source familiar with the matter told Fox News Digital that Anthropic has visibility into classified and unclassified usage and has confidence that all usage has been in line with Anthropic’s usage policy, as well as its partners’ own compliance policies.

Reached by Fox News Digital, the Department of War declined to comment.

Anthropic was the first AI model developer to be used in classified operations by the Department of War, according to the Journal.

Anthropic has raised concerns about how Claude can be used by the Pentagon, prompting officials within the Trump administration to consider canceling its contract worth up to $200 million, which was awarded last summer, the paper reported.

The AI tools can be used for everything from summarizing documents to controlling autonomous drones, the outlet noted.

The Trump administration has prioritized AI development, and in December War Secretary Pete Hegseth said "the future of American warfare is here, and it's spelled AI."

"As technologies advance, so do our adversaries," he said. "But here at the War Department, we are not sitting idly by."

A federal agent was injured after being attacked during an anti-U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) protest in Downtown Los Angeles on Friday, the Los Angeles Police Department confirmed.

"LAFD responding to a Federal Agent who was injured during the incident," the LAPD wrote on X before 1 p.m.

In several other posts updating the progress of the marching protesters, the department said the demonstrators had blocked traffic, committed acts of vandalism, including at the Federal Building, and had thrown items at police.

The department later wrote that the "Suspects who attacked the Federal Agents have blended into the March."

The protest was part of a student walkout, according to local outlets.

The students could be seen in aerial video stalling traffic as they walked down a street holding up American, Mexican and other flags.

The protesters also waved signs that said things like "Honk if you hate Nazis" and "F—k Trump," according to the California Post.

The agent was taken to a hospital in unknown condition.

It’s unclear if any arrests have been made.

Police didn’t specify what agency that agent worked at. 

Earlier this month, police issued a dispersal order for another student-led anti-ICE protest in downtown L.A.

At least four suspects were detained for vandalizing property in the area during that protest and were expected to be charged with felony vandalism, according to the LAPD.

Fox News Digital has reached out to the LAPD for comment.
