"Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro could make a court appearance in New York City as soon as Monday, two sources told NBC News, after the United States captured him in a surprise attack early today and flew him to New York. After having landed at a New York airport, Maduro was scheduled to be taken by helicopter to a location in New York City to be processed, then transferred to the detention center, two sources said."
""We want to know the administration's objectives, its plans to prevent a humanitarian and geopolitical disaster that plunges us into another endless war," Schumer told reporters. Schumer, who said he has not been briefed, said Congress has been kept "in the total dark." "Congress should not be sidelined as the Trump administration gets sucked into another nation-building quagmire, and we're going to hold them accountable," he said."
U.S. forces captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro in a surprise early-morning operation and flew him to New York. After landing at a New York airport, Maduro was to be transported by helicopter into New York City for processing and then transferred to the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. Federal law enforcement personnel monitored the MDC late Saturday. The MDC has recently held high-profile inmates such as Sean "Diddy" Combs, Luigi Mangione, and FTX co-founder Sam Bankman-Fried. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said congressional leaders have not received requested briefings and warned of humanitarian and geopolitical risks while vowing oversight.
