A reporter covering the crisis in Venezuela for Telemundo was abducted Tuesday by a group of armed men, according to the network.
Daniel Garrido, the reporter, was allegedly forced into a vehicle against his will while covering the detention and deportation of a news crew covering Venezuela for rival network Univision.
Garrido was interrogated for six hours and then let go, but the kidnappers kept his equipment.
Univision anchor Jorge Ramos was detained in the presidential palace of Miraflores in Caracas on Monday, after an interview with embattled President Nicolás Maduro was abruptly ended.
Ramos said Maduro stood up and ended the interview after being shown a video taken that morning of young men eating garbage out of a truck in Caracas.
Ramos and his producer were released after two hours, but Maduro's security agents kept their equipment and cell phones.
They were deported from Venezuela on Tuesday, and arrived in Miami in the afternoon.
Garrido is free and in good health after the abduction, according to a statement by Telemundo.

Clearly this is Trump’s fault.

As long as they’re not abducting some of the hot-looking Latina weatherwomen on TV, I’m OK with the occasional kidnapping.

It’s about time someone abducted Jorge Ramos. Socialists meets socialism.

Over in Hanoi, the reporters had their WiFi cut and were kicked out of their hotel by lil’ Kim.
Will these guys appreciate Trump more? I won’t hold my breath.

Ramos was probably down there for the 12 yo prostitutes

He will be set free, one suspects, and will not learn any at all about socialism/Marxism/communism from the experience.

Is it ‘Sweeps Week’ for Telemundo or Univision?
Hope the guy ends up being OK; desperate people taking desperate measures in a Workers Paradise!
Who’d a thunk it? ;)

Voops! Mea culpa. I didn't read past the headline.
He was already freed.
I still suspect that he hasn't changed is political outlook or allegiance.
