'Maduro should pay,' 'Hands off Venezuela'- crowd split outside pre-trial hearing in NY  As ousted Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores attended a hearing Wednesday (July 22) in New York in which they were told their trial will begin next year, his supporters and detractors gathered outside to debate the legitimacy of the process. The pair go on trial on U.S. drug trafficking charges starting on June 1, 2027, a judge said on Wednesday. Maduro wore beige prison garb as he was led into a Manhattan courtroom by U.S. marshals for a hearing before U.S. District Judge Alvin Hellerstein in one of the most consequential criminal cases in recent U.S. history. U.S. commandos captured Maduro, 63, and Flores, 69, at their heavily guarded home in Caracas during a January 3 nighttime military raid ordered by President Donald Trump.

00:56I'm out here today to demand the release of President Nicholas Maduro and first lady Celia

01:00Flores, and to demand the US kicks his hands off of Venezuela.

01:04The United States does not have the interests of the Venezuelan people in mind.

01:07All it wants is the oil, it wants the natural resources, that's all it's interested in.

01:12So we stand in solidarity with the people of Venezuela and stand with them.

01:18Venezuelans should be able to dictate how they're governed,

01:21and our government should not have the right to go in in other countries

01:25and kidnap elected leaders and bring them here for a sham trial.

01:31And so that's what we're here for today.

01:33We're speaking on behalf of people who live in Granite State.
