Ousted Venezuelan President Nicol\u00e1s Maduro\u00a0made his first public appearance since being captured in his own country and extradited to the US.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Dressed in black sweats, a matching hat, and jail-issued flip-flops, Maduro was seen inside the DEA headquarters in Manhattan\u2019s Chelsea neighborhood yesterday, clutching a water bottle and shuffling past agents.<\/p>\n

The world at large is still reeling in shock after the operation to seize Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, from their home in Venezuela\u2019s capital of Caracas. In a dramatic raid ordered by the\u00a0Trump\u00a0administration, US forces embarked upon a secret mission to extract the couple, before flying them to New York the very same night.<\/p>\n

Maduro and Flores were processed at the DEA\u2019s New York office. They were then flown by helicopter to the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, where hundreds of people had gathered outside in celebration, cheering and chanting as word of the audacious capture spread.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s such a joy to see the dictator fall, but the regime hasn\u2019t fallen yet,\u201d said Ronny Chirinos, a Venezuelan national who moved to New York City from Maracay three years ago to escape Maduro\u2019s rule, according to the\u00a0New York Post. \u201cI want everything to fall. That there is no one left.\u201d<\/p>\n

One clip of Maduro, labeled the \u201cPerp walk,\u201d has gained particular attention. In the video, the former dictator can be seen in handcuffs walking towards processing prior to his transfer to federal lockup.<\/p>\n

\u201cGood Night, Happy New Year,\u201d\u00a0Maduro muttered to agents.<\/p>\n

Maduro and his wife are both facing a number of serious charges in the Southern District of New York, including narco-terrorism offenses.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a brilliant operation, actually,\u201d Trump said of the raid from his Mar-A-Lago estate. \u201cA lot of good planning and [a] lot of great, great troops and great people.\u201d<\/p>\n

The operation itself has drawn criticism from Trump\u2019s detractors, though the president insists the removal of Maduro was necessary to bring about the end of Venezuelan cartel drug violence.<\/p>\n

CARACAS, VENEZUELA \u2013 AUGUST 17: Incumbent President of Venezuela Nicol\u00e1s Maduro looks forward during the \u2018Gran Marcha Mundial por la Paz\u2019 supporting incumbent president Maduro on August 17, 2024 in Caracas, Venezuela. President Maduro was declared as the winner of the 2024 presidential election over his rival, Edmundo Gonzalez. The result has been questioned by the opposition and internationally. According to the opposition leader Maria Corina Machado, the result announced by the \u2018Consejo Nacional Electoral\u2019 (CNE) does not reflect the decision made by the Venezuelans during the election.

Trump claimed that gangs sent to the U.S. by President Maduro were \u201cstealing American lives.\u201d He also accused Maduro of emptying \u201cprisons and insane asylums,\u201d and said that he had \u201csent everybody bad into the United States.\u201d<\/p>\n

As per the latest information, Venezuela will now be under U.S. control until it can assure a \u201cjudicial handover of power.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
