Nicolás Maduro Arrest Video viral:- A video from New York showing the arrest of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro is now going viral on social media. The Trump administration first removed Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro from power and has now taken him into custody, bringing back memories of events from 36 years ago. Almost three and a half decades ago, the US government arrested Panamanian ruler Noriega and prosecuted him on several charges, which were similar to the charges now levelled against Maduro. The US military brought Nicolás Maduro to New York, where he is being held at the Metropolitan Detention Centre located within the US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) headquarters complex in Brooklyn. A video of Maduro being taken into custody has surfaced, in which he is seen saying “Happy New Year” and “Good Night.”

The entire ‘parade’ from the airbase to the DEA office
The US military videotaped the whole process, from landing Maduro at a New York airbase to transporting him to the DEA headquarters. The White House’s Rapid Response 47 team released these videos on social media, which are now going viral.

A video from inside the DEA office in Manhattan has been shared on the social media platform X. In this video, Maduro can be seen wearing handcuffs and a black hooded sweatshirt. He is seen walking down a corridor covered with a blue carpet marked “DEA NYD.” In the video, he is heard saying “Good Night, Happy New Year” to the officers. Earlier, US President Donald Trump had shared a picture of Maduro on Saturday evening, in which his eyes were blindfolded, and his hands were handcuffed.

Many such incidents in political history

You might be surprised to know that there have been many such incidents in the world’s political history that are remembered even after the passage of time. A recent example of this occurred when the United States claimed to have arrested Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. On January 3, US President Donald Trump stated that the US military had conducted a major military operation in Venezuela, during which President Nicolás Maduro and his wife were taken into custody. The US has long accused Maduro of drug trafficking and having ties to terrorist groups. In 2020, a US court also filed charges against Maduro for corruption, drug trafficking, and other serious crimes. The US had offered a $50 million reward for information leading to his arrest or conviction.
