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.
There nothing Mamdani can do about it but cry harder.
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 White House has released video of Maduro’s perp walk in NYC.
