Nicolás Maduro has remained in U.S. federal custody in New York since U.S. forces captured him and his wife during a January 2026 raid in Caracas. He faces drug trafficking, narco-terrorism, and additional torture charges, with both having pleaded not guilty and a trial set for June 2027. Legal efforts include motions to dismiss on immunity grounds, with court responses and hearings scheduled into November. Parallel U.S.-supported talks between Venezuela’s interim government under Delcy Rodríguez and opposition figures continue, including a planned October 14 round that could shape diplomatic or negotiated outcomes. His wife’s recent bail request on health grounds illustrates procedural factors that could affect detention status.
