An exterior view of the Metropolitan Detention Center is seen in the Brooklyn borough of New York City, where ousted Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro is detained, ahead of his court appearance later in the day, on March 26, 2026. Lawyers for the ousted Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro are expected to push for the dismissal of his drug trafficking charges when he appears in a New York court March 26. The Manhattan hearing comes as Washington cautiously warms ties with Caracas, with the question of who will pay the legal fees of the former autocrat and his wife expected to take center stage.
