Digital Desk: Videos circulating on social media on Saturday purportedly show Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro being escorted out of an aircraft by US authorities at Stewart Air National Guard Base in New York. The footage, described by some users as a “perp walk,” appears to show President Maduro being led away under heavy security.
According to unverified claims accompanying the videos, President Maduro and his wife were allegedly taken into custody by US authorities. Some posts further claim that the Venezuelan leader was seen in handcuffs. However, no official confirmation has been issued by the United States government or Venezuelan authorities regarding the authenticity of the footage or the claims made online.
The videos have triggered widespread reactions across social media platforms, with users sharing and commenting on the dramatic visuals. Officials on both sides have so far remained silent, and details surrounding the incident, including the date, location, and circumstances, remain unclear.
Hours earlier, Maduro was captured by US forces during a late-night operation in Venezuela. US President Donald Trump had also shared the first image of Maduro in custody, showing him handcuffed and blindfolded aboard a US warship.
Authorities have urged the public to rely on verified sources, as investigations into the origin and credibility of the footage are yet to be confirmed. Until an official statement is released, the claims surrounding the alleged detention of the Venezuelan President and his wife remain unsubstantiated.
