"I was briefed this morning on the U.S. military capture of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his wife, as well as their planned imprisonment in federal custody here in New York City. Unilaterally attacking a sovereign nation is an act of war and a violation of federal and international law. This blatant pursuit of regime change doesn't just affect those abroad, it directly impacts New Yorkers, including tens of thousands of Venezuelans who call this city home."
"It's overcrowded because, as I said earlier, there used to be two separate facilities one in Manhattan, one in Brooklyn, but the one in Manhattan is currently closed for renovations, Honig continued. So it's overcrowded. It's unsanitary. There have actually even been judges who have given people bail or reduced sentences because of the conditions in this prison. So it's a rough place to be held."
Zohran Mamdani, sworn in Jan. 1 as New York's first democratic socialist mayor, condemned the U.S. military capture of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his wife as a violation of federal and international law. He labeled a unilateral attack on a sovereign nation an act of war and said the pursuit of regime change directly affects New Yorkers, including tens of thousands of Venezuelan residents, and pledged to monitor the situation and issue guidance focused on public safety. President Donald Trump held a Mar-a-Lago press conference announcing the capture and planned extradition to New York on drug charges. The couple is expected to be housed at the Manhattan Detention Center in Brooklyn, which a CNN legal analyst described as overcrowded, unsanitary, and under judicial scrutiny.
