US Strikes Venezuela: Captured President Nicholas Maduro arrives in New York City, to be detained in Brooklyn's federal jail

Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro, who was seized by US Delta Force commandos, has arrived in New York to face trial in a federal court on narco-terrorism charges. After the plane landed on Saturday afternoon, FBI agents surrounded the aircraft and whisked the couple away. In Operation Absolute Resolve, Maduro was taken early Saturday morning from the Venezuelan military base, Fuerte Tiuna, where he was sheltering, to the Iwo Jima, one of the Navy ships in the armada surrounding Venezuela. They are to be detained in Brooklyn's notorious federal jail, the Metropolitan Correctional Center, to await trial in a court. Maduro, who had a $50 million bounty for his capture, is expected to appear in court on Monday for an initial hearing.
