Ousted Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro returns to Manhattan court as dueling protests clash outside

Ousted Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro — wearing a tan jail jumpsuit and black glasses— returned to a Manhattan court Thursday to face historic drug trafficking charges as dueling protesters clashed outside. Before the hearing, small groups of both pro and anti-Maduro protesters gathered outside the courthouse. One member of the anti-Maduro held up a sign saying “Maduro, Rot in Prison,” while the pro-Maduro crew held Venezuelan flags and signs saying “Free President Maduro.”
