Counter protests recorded by the Associated Press outside a New York City federal courthouse where ousted Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro is being arraigned this hour on drug trafficking and weapons charges.
In the early stages of the case against him, Maduro will be advised of his right to an attorney, his right to remain silent, and the charges against him, according to former federal prosecutor Adam Fells. Fells, who worked on the case against El Chapo Guzmán, says a judge will also decide whether to release Maduro or confine him before trial, and that defendants in narcotics cases involving guns are often kept behind bars while their cases unfold.
