US forces captured Nicolás Maduro and his wife in a January 3, 2026, military operation in Caracas, transporting them to New York for federal prosecution on narco-terrorism, cocaine trafficking, and weapons charges. Maduro has pleaded not guilty and remains in Brooklyn detention pending court proceedings, with an adjournment noted into March 2026. Venezuela’s acting president Delcy Rodríguez has assumed power, pursued domestic reforms including prisoner amnesties, and engaged the US on diplomatic normalization and energy cooperation. Caracas continues to demand Maduro’s release through international channels, while US policy emphasizes continued custody and legal accountability. Key variables for any potential release include plea negotiations, trial outcomes, bilateral diplomatic shifts, or executive actions within the resolution window.
