The next court hearing of president Nicolás Maduro and Cilia Flores, originally scheduled for March 17, 2026, was postponed until March 26, 2026, following a request from the US Justice Department.

The hearing follows the initial January 5, 2026, arraignment in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, where both, Nicolás Maduro and Cilia Flores, pleaded not guilty.

It has been almost 3 months since the President of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro and First Combatant of Venezuela, Cilia Flores, were violently kidnapped by the Donald Trump – JD Vance administration.

On January 3, 2026, the Donald Trump – JD Vance government bombed and invaded Venezuela, murdered at least 100 people, including 32 people from Cuba, kidnapped President Nicolás Maduro and First Combatant Cilia Flores.

The United States of America continues to hold President Nicolás Maduro and First Combatant Cilia Flores hostage at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn.

Lawyers for Maduro and Flores are asking Judge Alvin Hellerstein to dismiss the indictment, because war criminal, zionist, corrupt Donald Trump kidnapped President Nicolás Maduro and Cilia Flores.

“In January, the U.S. bombed and invaded Venezuela, kidnapping President Nicolás Maduro and First Combatant Cilia Flores. The U.S. continues to hold President Nicolás Maduro in solitary confinement at MDC Brooklyn.

This is not just about Venezuela — it’s about a broader pattern of U.S. imperialist t-rr-ism across the Global South. From Venezuela to Iran to Cuba to Palestine, the people must rise up against the U.S. imperialist d-ath machine.

Venezuela and Iran have both defended their sovereignty, using national resources for social programs and refusing U.S. domination — and for that, they are targeted.

This moment marks a new phase: open, lawless t-rr-rism carried out with full backing by Western institutions.
