Former Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro returned to federal court in New York on Thursday, seeking the dismissal of his drug trafficking indictment in the wake of his capture in a U.S. military raid in January. Maduro supporters and opponents gathered outside the courthouse while in Caracas, supporters of Venezuela’s former first couple gathered in a public square hoping to watch the hearing on a screen, unaware that U.S. federal courts do not allow cameras.
