US Federal Agents Make Arrest of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, Handcuffing Him During Escort
In a dramatic and unprecedented scene, footage has emerged showing US federal agents handcuffing and escorting Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro out of the country. The video, which was captured by an eyewitness, appears to show Maduro being led away in handcuffs, flanked by heavily armed agents.
According to reports, the arrest was carried out at the request of the Venezuelan opposition, who have been seeking Maduro's removal from office for months. Maduro is accused of human rights abuses and corruption, and has been a subject of international scrutiny.
The US government confirmed that it had indeed requested Maduro's extradition, citing charges of conspiracy against the state and terrorist financing. However, it appears that Maduro was not handed over to American authorities but rather escorted out of the country by federal agents.
It remains unclear what will happen next to Maduro, but the arrest marks a significant escalation in tensions between the US and Venezuela. The Venezuelan opposition has welcomed the move, seeing it as a major breakthrough in their efforts to overthrow Maduro's government.
As the situation continues to unfold, one thing is clear: Nicolás Maduro is no longer welcome in the US, at least not for the time being. His dramatic arrest serves as a stark reminder of the deepening divisions between the two nations and the consequences that can arise when human rights abuses are ignored.
