Why Nicolás Maduro’s Arrest Is Legal and His Immunity Claim Is Dead Wrong – He Will Face Justice |
In a stunning operation in Venezuela, U.S. forces captured Nicolás Maduro, the strong-arm dictator of Venezuela. They brought him to the U.S. to face charges of narco-terrorism, conspiracy to import cocaine, and machine gun-related offences. On January 3, at approximately 1:00 AM, U.S. forces entered the presidential palace in Caracas and had Maduro in U.S. custody within hours. By 4:30 PM of the same day, Maduro had landed in the U.S. and was transported to Manhattan to await justice.
Simply put, Maduro was a narco-terrorist responsible for drugs and the deaths of countless Americans. Previous administrations talked a big game, but failed to act. Charges against Maduro were first brought in 2020. Rewards for information that led to the capture of Maduro also began in 2020, and they increased throughout the first Trump Administration, the Biden Administration, and now the second Trump Administration. Now, U.S. attorneys have brought a fresh set of indictments in the Federal District Court for the Southern District of New York.
