Maduro Arrives In Big Apple as Mayor Mamdani Fumes (Update: Perp Walk Video)
If Mamdani interfered in any way (like he threatened to interfere if Netanyahu came to NYC), he would likely be arrested by the feds, so he’ll just fume.
New York City’s Red-Green (Socialist-Islamist) Mayor Zoran Mamdani is angry.
Just two days after Mamdani was sworn into office the U.S. removed Socialist icon Nicholas Maduro Moros from power in Venezuela.
I was briefed this morning on the U.S. military capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, as well as their planned imprisonment in federal custody here in New York City. Unilaterally attacking a sovereign nation is an act of war and a violation of federal and international law. This blatant pursuit of regime change doesn’t just affect those abroad, it directly impacts New Yorkers, including tens of thousands of Venezuelans who call this city home. My focus is their safety and the safety of every New Yorker, and my administration will continue to monitor the situation and issue relevant guidance.
By briefed do you mean you logged on to 𝕏 like the rest of us?

I guess the, “warmth of collectivism” probably should have left “rugged individualism” alone.

The irony that we're liberating Venezuela from a communist lunatic while at the same time electing one in New York

There nothing Mamdani can do about it but cry harder.
Oh so NOW Democrats are opposed to a Venezuelan criminal entering our country. https://t.co/58JrvIwn3D

But it’s going to be particularly interesting because Maduro and his wife were indicted in the Southern District of New York, where the courthouse is located in lower Manhattan. (I worked right near there one summer in law school for the Manhattan D.A.’s office.)
If Mamdani interfered in any way (like he threatened to interfere if Netanyahu came to NYC), he would likely be arrested by the feds, so he’ll just fume.
Meanwhile, Mr. and Mrs. Maduro already are in NYC, they were flown to Stewart airport just north of the City, and then reportedly taken by helicopter to the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. (The MDC in Manhattan was were Epstein was housed until he no longer needed housing, but this is a different facility.)
The fact that Trump has transferred Maduro to Stewart Air National Guard Base, just a short drive from New York City is truly the chef's kiss.
Perhaps NYC Mayor Mamdani will visit Maduro to discuss collectivism… pic.twitter.com/6LW4LBs6HI

mamdami in a just country wouldnt have won…if the votes were counted truthfully that is
he fears being ousted by his own if he cant steal enough of our money for his power trip
I’m afraid you would be wrong
Those f/king ladies and “migrants at 40%, would vote for him again and again and agin
NYC has gone further left every freaking election
you are correct
but I was just reading on how many counties around the country in 2020 reported voting ballot issues and alemada county in ca actually cancelled elections and a blk matriarchy judge who is going after trump ( currently) was the automatic winner due to the cancelled election
Elections were canceled as normal for positions where only one candidate filed. That had nothing to do with the Wuhan Disease crisis.
In Alameda County there were 31 offices up for election in the superior court; in 30 of those races the incumbent filed for reelection and there were no challengers, so of course the election was canceled. In Office 2 there was no incumbent; three candidates filed, so there was a primary on March 3 and then a general election on November 3.
What Milhouse said, plus… In CA Superior Court judges are appointed by the governor. They face the voters periodically to continue as judges. These elections have been pro forma for as long as I can remember, few are challenged… and there is scant information readily available upon which to build a campaign against a sitting judge. Probably 90% of the voters have no idea what any judge does, day to day. They only see the “spectacular” issue that might grab a headline occasionally. [I did my first 52 years in that county, born & raised, so your are getting local knowledge.]
Yes. The left’s most clear and present danger is the prevalence of the angry liberal Karen. They are everywhere, as recent videos of females lurking behind Somalis reciting scripted statements attest.
Democrats love dictators… are they wearing their “No Kings” gear today? That’d be embarrassing
Exactly ! No kings except we love Venezuela, Cuba and Iran. Those kings are awesome !
Maybe they’re worried now,
Hey! Life, look at me, I can see the reality
‘Cause when you shook me, took me outta my world, I woke up
Suddenly I just woke up to the happening
When you find that you left the future behind
‘Cause when you got a tender love you don’t take care of
Then you better beware of,
The Happening!

Though I thought Maduro’s pussy hat was a nice touch.
I did too!!! Lol
Mamdopey’s mentor has been arrested and removed from power of course he’s upset. Don’t worry little mayor you still have the ayatollah to idolize ; hopefully not for much longer though. 2026 is starting off with a sledge hammer to global terrorism. Love it !
The one in Manhattan was MCC, the Metropolitan Correctional Center, but it was closed down because of the terrible conditions there. I have heard from reliable sources that MDC is even worse.
40 years ago, MCC stood for “Meese’s County Club” in reference to U.S. Attorney’s General Ed Meese!
If you meant to write “country club”, that was never MCC.
And “Club Fed” is a myth.
Actually the only hits I get when searching for Meese and country club are about his statement that Nicaragua was “a terrorist country club”.
It was an inside joke between federal agencies. I remember first hearing it from the BOP at facility in San Diego.
Club Fed is another inside joke for FLETC.

do you wish to discuss the conditions in which he kept his “political prisoners”?
those he didn’t execute outright.
No, how is that relevant?
I bet Mamdani is fuming because he thought Venezuela was a perfectly functioning socialist society…and it was. Cue the mockery.
I think this is what he has planned for NYC.
I think he is smarter than that. He calls himself a socialist because it is popular with the usedul idiots that elected him. But all the socialist talk is nothing more than a delivery drug for Jew hate. THAT is his plan.
Nah, the Jew hate is also just pandering to his voters. He’s as much a Moslem as Bernie Sanders is a Jew.
The Jew hate can be fake but the violence that it engenders can still maim and kill.
Q: why is it then that 3/4 of the non-Hasidic Jewish population voted for Mamdani?
A: they love Jew-haters.
Those Mamdani voters are also known as “self-gassing Jews”.
What’s your basis for that claim? I think you just made it up. And probably have no idea what “hasidic” even means.
Thank you, Santa!
I see it as a Festivus Miracle,

He would arrest Netanyahu and free Maduro. You can bet on that.
There is absolutely nothing Mamdani can do about it. He can’t even go and visit Maduro.
Not true. He can stomp.his feet and tell anyone who will listen how much he disapproves. I can’t stop laughing.
I get warm fuzzies when he stomps his feet.
if and when mamdami tries to interfere shoot his communist ass and dump him in the harbor (any harbor),.
Huh. That’s strange. I could swear Mamdami was totally on board with arresting heads of state.
A keen observation.
Technical quibble: Netanyahu isn’t a head of state.
But that makes no difference to Mamdani, even if he’s aware of it.
I just wish Jimmy Carter was still alive to see his handiwork undone. Venezuela very likely to see freedom and prosperity restored and the Mullahs in Iran possibly on the ropes as well.
What on earth do you think Jimmy Carter has to do with it?
Carter certainly can take SOME credit for the replacement of the Shah (who was a friendly dictator – to us) with a theocratic dictatorship hostile to us.
Yes, but what has that got to do with Venezuela? Venezuela fell to the communists because a clear majority of Venezuelan voters elected Hugo Chavez in 1998, nearly two decades after Carter left office.
Carter led a team that declared the Chavez election was free and fair despite widespread belief that the election was rigged. Carter was an enthusiastic supporter of Chavez and said nothing as freedoms were taken away in Venezuela.
I met Carter once when he was relatively unknown and running in the Democrat primary. This was while I was still in college working to pay for my education. He and his crew seemed so shady that I had their aircraft locked in a hangar till they paid their fuel bill.
I don’t think anyone doubts that Chavez won the 1998 election fair and square and by an overwhelming majority. Carter was simply there to observe it, and confirmed that it was indeed fair; the result was not his handiwork, it was that of the voters, who genuinely wanted Chavez and his communist policies, so they got him, good and hard.
When they realized they’d been had, it was too late. They’d given him all the power, and he wasn’t about to give it up, so the subsequent elections were each less fair than the previous one, as he realized how unpopular he had become, and how much he had to cheat in order to win.
And yes, Carter was there for several of these elections trying his best to ignore the irregularities, until finally even he couldn’t do it any longer. But none of that was his doing; it’s not as if his not endorsing these elections would have undone them. Chavez had the power and he was keeping it no matter who said what. The only way this could be Carter’s fault would be if he had put him in in the first place, but he didn’t. That was the people.
Given the electoral shenanigans Chavez is known to have engaged in during ALL his subsequent election “victories” it’s not unpossible that he cheated during his first victory as well.
However, that’s besides the point re: Jimmy Carter being an apologist for Chavez.
He lent an international air of legitimacy to Chavez’s regime thru several obviously non-kosher elections. Even more damming was his support given his self-touted adherence to “human rights” in foreign relations – the hypocrisy of his support for a dictator who daily violated the civil rights of his political opponents was staggering.
The difference is that in 1998 Chavez had no power, so it was impossible for him to cheat as he did in his subsequent elections. There is no evidence, ever, of fraud on his behalf; his cheating in subsequent elections was by using his power to sabotage his opponents. In 1998 he couldn’t do that.
And while Carter certainly apologized for him far too long, that did nothing to keep him in power. His power would have been exactly the same no matter what Carter said about him. Any “international air of legitimacy” Carter gave him was immaterial. No, to blame him on Carter, you must show how Carter could have kept him from office, and that’s just not so.
Milhouse, your underlying premise – that election fraud is only possible if you are already in office – is….. ludicrous.
Election fraud can be done wholesale or retail – that is it can be done via the grand total final count (ala Stalin) or by enuf individual crooked polling stations (ala Biden).
20 million Biden voters went “poof” when (D)s no longer had a Covid “emergency” excuse to ignore all legal election safeguards and to mass-mail unsolicited mail-in voting forms to random addresses.
You can be nibbled to death by ducks (or piranhas) just as much as you can be eaten alive by a great white shark.
“The MDC in Manhattan was were Epstein was housed until he no longer needed housing” Lol.
I’m sorry, “perp walks” should be illegal. No matter who it is.
Which part should be illegal? The taking criminals somewhere in handcuffs? Or do we plan on violating the First Amendment by making it illegal for it to be filmed and disseminated by the media?
It should be illegal for any government entity or employee to release video of this, or to allow it to be filmed on government property, or to notify anyone so they can take such video on public property.
US soldiers are taught to not use POWs in such displays, and the US has historically opposed the use of captured Americans in them. There’s no good reason why this rule shouldn’t also apply to “suspects.” In ancient Rome, when a citizen was arrested it was illegal to put the detainee in chains on the same principle.
Doing this to prisoners of war is an actual war crime. Unfortunately doing it to civilian prisoners is not. It should be illegal for them too.
Ancient Rome fed Christians to Lions
I hear Hitler loved dogs
Ancient Rome captured Vercingetorix and locked him in a cage for 6 years. Then, they paraded him publicly before beheading him.
Vercingetorix was not a Roman citizen.
Absolutely not. I most certainly do not want the government to be able to make someone disappear.
They can’t make someone disappear. That’s what habeas corpus is for. He must be brought before a magistrate. Putting him on display is a cruelty that is so bad it is a war crime to do it to a prisoner of war. How much more so to a civilian, let alone a citizen.
A perp walk is done to shame the accused and imply they are guilty. There is zero presumption of innocence in a perp walk.
So? The presumption of innocence only applies to court. We don’t have to pretend outside of there.
It also applies to potential jurors. Publishing such a video taints the jury pool, and that’s reason enough to ban it.
But it’s wrong even when done to a convicted prisoner, where no such concern applies. It’s wrong to do it to anyone.
Can’t wait to see yours
Go to Hell.
I’m going to Texas
Light a shuck!
Don’t you live in NYC?
And therefore? Is that a crime now?! What possibly justifies Gonzo’s attack on me?
Outhouse chose the arrest of a communist dictator to take this bold stance against perp walks. Why, he’s a regular John Adams!
I have taken this stance for decades. Perp walks are inherently wrong, and state employees who allow and facilitate them by alerting reporters, let alone by actually publishing them themselves, should be prosecuted.
LOL Maduro wishing a Happy New Year to the press!
That really cracked me up
Along with his singing John Lennon a few days ago
I think he’s lost his freaking mind
Too much cocaine?
Or has he cracked
When I go on vacation, I disconnect. This is what I came home to today.
Good, bad, or indifferent, at least this should put a stop to the “Hegseth is incompetent” BS. This op appears to have been kept secret (no small task) and executed with precision. People should know that renaming DoD the Department of War was no small thing. I’ve been in favor of that move for decades. Names matter. There are no NFL teams called the “Dallas Sheep” or the “Cincinnati Marshmallows” for good reason.
“Cincinnati Marshmallows”
Oh, the irony. 😁
No leaks because Hakeem Jeffries and friends were not in the loop.
Nice perp walk!
If we can bring a criminal to justice from Venezuela, then Brennan, Comey, Smith, Braggs and James should be a dog walk in the park, right?
Um, no. It’s a completely different kind of problem. With Maduro there was already a case established against him, and the difficulty was in bringing him in. With those others there’s no difficulty whatsoever in bringing them in; if they are indicted there is zero doubt that they will appear in court on their own. The problem is making a case against them in the first place.
Being the head of a Narco-Terrorist State is not the same as being a “Head of State”. And yes Mr Peanut gave us the mullah terrorists and the Chavistas. Mr Peanut was a socialist wrapped in a populist sweater. I’ll bet he wishes he could turn that thermostat down in hell.
He had a role in losing Iran and Nicaragua, but Venezuela was not his doing. Chavez won that election fair and square, without any help from Carter.
President Trump brings Maduro to NYC, the place where Mamdani is running his mouth about arresting Netanyahu. A brilliant move to expose the moral rot of Mamdani who wants to free Maduro. Mamdani should just shut up and try to fix the elevators in the NYCHA.
Why NY court though?
Why not FL or elsewhere?
Because that’s where he was indicted in 2020. To try him somewhere else you’d first need to get a new indictment.
Thanks for the facts. It’s a pity some choose to downclick facts that don’t like.
Condemning someone for stating facts one doesn’t like betrays an inherently leftist mindset, of the kind 1984 is about.
Maduro was offered an opportunity to leave voluntarily. I do not believe the goal is to imprison him. The goal is to disassemble his government.
That is an excellent point and one that should be repeated ad nauseum.
WTH is Mamdani fuming about? Manhattan had its first pro socialist/communist protest outfitted with professional signage even. Guess Maduro’s arrest didn’t go over well with that element. Meanwhile his wife is staying collectively warm with her several thousand dollar commie- chic coat and Zo is riding the subway.
The Zo Show is officially underway!!
Mamdani to appoint Maduro to head NYC Department of Transportation.
Full details at 11:00pm…
Serious question: why is being brought to NYC? I guess the indictment was filed there? If so, is there any legal reason why? A layman would think that the government could charge Maduro in any part of the country. I’m slightly worried about jury nullification for political reasons in NYC.
