Photos Show Handcuffed Maduro Escorted to Brooklyn Detention Center
Venezuelan President Maduro captured and flown to US to face federal drug charges.
On January 3, 2026, President Donald Trump announced the U.S. had conducted a large-scale strike in Venezuela, capturing President Nicolás Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores. Explosions were reported in Caracas shortly before the announcement. Photos show Maduro handcuffed and escorted by DEA Administrator Terry Cole at Stewart Air National Guard Base in Newburgh, New York, before being flown by helicopter to the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. Maduro and Flores are facing federal narco-terrorism charges. The Venezuelan Supreme Court ordered Vice President Delcy Rodriguez to assume acting presidency due to Maduro’s capture. Trump planned a news conference at 11 a.m. from Mar-a-Lago. The operation, involving U.S. law enforcement, marks a dramatic escalation in U.S.-Venezuela tensions.
