Nicolás Maduro arrives in New York, faces DEA escort during perp walk amid legal troubles.
Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, have officially arrived on United States soil as of Saturday night.
The Donald Trump administration posted a video of Maduro’s “perp walk” on its RapidResponse47 X account. In the video, you can see Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) agents escorting the narco-terrorist through the halls of a law enforcement facility.
Maduro is dressed in all black and bundled up in a hoodie and toboggan and wearing sandals with socks. I guess it’s a little bit colder in New York than it is in Caracas. Maduro had reportedly not left his home country since 2019. He’s also holding a water bottle.
He says something to one of his escorts before turning to what I assume is the press and saying, “Good night. Happy New Year” in English. He doesn’t look quite as upset about his situation as you might think — he’s probably assuming some leftist judge is going to send him back on his merry way to Venezuela tomorrow.
