Maduro Arrives In Big Apple as Mayor Mamdani Fumes

[Elderberry]

Legal Insurrection by William A. Jacobson 1/3/2026

If Mamdani interfered in any way (like he threatened to interfere if Netanyahu came to NYC), he would likely be arrested by the feds, so he’ll just fume.

I was briefed this morning on the U.S. military capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, as well as their planned imprisonment in federal custody here in New York City. Unilaterally attacking a sovereign nation is an act of war and a violation of federal and international law. This blatant pursuit of regime change doesn’t just affect those abroad, it directly impacts New Yorkers, including tens of thousands of Venezuelans who call this city home. My focus is their safety and the safety of every New Yorker, and my administration will continue to monitor the situation and issue relevant guidance.



    By briefed do you mean you logged on to 𝕏 like the rest of us?

    I guess the, “warmth of collectivism” probably should have left “rugged individualism” alone.

He was "briefed" exactly the same way the rest of us were. What a fatuous, self-important, empty-headed buffoon.
