"Over one hundred protesters marched on Sunday outside of the Metropolitan Detention Center in Sunset Park, where Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro is currently being detained, denouncing the measures the United States took to capture him. According to the demonstrators who strode up and down the sidewalk in the shadow of the same jail that holds Luigi Mangione and Sean "P. Diddy" Combs, New Yorkers have no love for Maduro."
""The United States, once again, decided to act against international laws, kidnapping a sitting leader of a foreign government with no rhyme or reason that could be justified, and is looking to further destabilize countries whose governments they don't agree with. We need to be out here in the streets making that known that we don't agree with it," protester William Novello said, adding that he wants the world to know that not every American agrees with the military strike."
More than one hundred protesters gathered outside the Metropolitan Detention Center in Sunset Park where Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro is being held, denouncing the U.S. operation that captured him. Demonstrators marched along the sidewalk near a jail that also holds Luigi Mangione and Sean "P. Diddy" Combs, carrying signs reading "No U.S war on Venezuela" and "U.S out of the Caribbean." Police barricaded the jail entrance, confining the crowd to the sidewalk while they chanted "Hands off Venezuela's oil" and "No blood for oil." Protesters said they oppose Maduro yet called the U.S. action illegal and destabilizing. William Novello urged visible solidarity to show that not all Americans back the strike, and Lindsay Katt said she watched the explosions in Caracas in horror and felt compelled to join the protest.
