Maduro, who is due to appear in a New York court, emerged from an armored vehicle that was part of the motorcade, dressed in a brown detention uniform, and then headed towards a helicopter.

The prison where Maduro was transferred

MDC Brooklyn was established in 1994 and currently houses about 1,300 inmates, both men and women. It is the city's primary federal prison for holding detainees awaiting trial in federal courts.

In the past, the prison has housed high-profile figures such as Ghislaine Maxwell, convicted of sexual assault, hip-hop singer Sean Combs, and former Honduran president Juan Orlando Hernández, who was convicted of drug trafficking. It also holds Luigi Mangione, accused of murdering a UnitedHealth Group executive, awaiting trial.
