Maduro Held Under Special Administrative Measures in Brooklyn, Returns to Court

Nicolás Maduro returned to court in Brooklyn on Day 80+ of detention at the Metropolitan Detention Center, held under Special Administrative Measures in a secure unit described as a "jail inside a jail." Under 24-hour surveillance with restricted communications, Maduro can only leave his cell to shower, see lawyers, or take one hour of solo recreation. The hearing addressed disputes over legal funding after sanctions prevent Venezuela from paying defense costs. His wife Cilia Flores faces the same restrictions.
