Nicolás Maduro has remained in U.S. federal custody in New York since his capture by U.S. special forces during a January 3, 2026, raid on his Caracas residence, ordered under the Trump administration. He and his wife, Cilia Flores, face narcotrafficking charges plus a recent superseding indictment alleging torture and related abuses, with both pleading not guilty. Flores has petitioned for release to house arrest citing health concerns, though prosecutors oppose it on flight-risk and public-safety grounds. An interim Venezuelan government led by Delcy Rodríguez has advanced amnesty measures and prisoner releases domestically, while U.S.-backed talks continue between chavista and opposition figures. A proposed June 2027 trial date and any diplomatic or judicial developments could influence resolution of his detention status.
