"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."
"Police barricaded off the entrance to the jail facility, forcing the demonstrators to occupy the sidewalk just outside the area, where they clung to picket signs reading No U.S war on Venezuela and U.S out of the Caribbean while the crowd chanted Hands off Venezuela's oil and No blood for oil."
"People around the world can act in solidarity, knowing that the people in the United States are trying to fight back against what their government does. They need to see us out here."
Over one hundred protesters marched outside the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn where Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro is being detained. Demonstrators said they oppose Maduro but condemned the United States for what they called an illegal capture and a destabilizing act. Protesters carried signs reading No U.S war on Venezuela and U.S out of the Caribbean and chanted Hands off Venezuela's oil and No blood for oil. Police barricaded the jail entrance, confining the crowd to the sidewalk. Speakers urged Americans and global allies to show solidarity and to protest what they described as an unjust military strike.
