Deposed Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro has been taken to a U.S. courthouse as he's set to make his first appearance in an American courtroom. Maduro and his wife are expected to appear at noon Monday before a judge in New York. Maduro is accused of narco-terrorism and drug trafficking. President Donald Trump's administration used the criminal charges to justify capturing Maduro and removing him to U.S. soil. Maduro’s lawyers are expected to contest the legality of his arrest, arguing he'ss immune from prosecution as a sovereign head of state. Venezuela’s new interim president, Delcy Rodríguez, has demanded the U.S. return Maduro, who has long denied any involvement in drug trafficking.
