Cilia Flores remains in federal pretrial detention at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn following her January 2026 capture alongside Nicolás Maduro during the U.S. military intervention in Venezuela. She faces charges including conspiracy to import cocaine, with a trial set for June 2027. In September 2026, her attorneys sought home confinement, citing a worsening heart condition, weight loss, and other health issues that developed in custody, while proposing strict monitoring conditions. Prosecutors have opposed release, describing her as an extreme flight risk and arguing any medical deterioration stems from refused treatment. A hearing on the motion is scheduled for early October 2026 before Judge Alvin Hellerstein, with filings highlighting disputes over her condition and proposed security arrangements.
