Ousted Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro arrives in NYC by helicopter hours after capture by US

Ousted Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, touched down in New York City Saturday night after being captured by US forces in a daring overnight operation Saturday morning.

The pair — who landed at Stewart Air National Guard Base in Upstate Newburgh just before 5 p.m. — arrived via helicopter at a Lower Manhattan heliport just before 7 p.m.  and were driven away in a van in a small motorcade.

Maduro and Flores will be taken to the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, as they  are set to face narco-terrorism charges in the Southern District of New York.
