Hundreds of revelers chanted and celebrated outside a Brooklyn lockup as Venezuelan strongman Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, were hauled inside to face federal narco-terrorism charges.
The couple were greeted at the Brooklyn Detention Center with the boisterous crowd triumphantly applauding and chanting “down with the dictator,” “shame on you,” and “dirty scumbag!”
Venezuelan national Ronny Chirinos was one of more than 200 opponents who eagerly waited outside the prison for more than an hour in the bitter cold for the ousted dictator to arrive in cuffs.
“It’s such a joy to see the dictator fall, but the regime hasn’t fallen yet,” the 21-year-old, who relocated from Maracay to the Big Apple three years ago due to Maduro’s regime, told The Post.
“I want everything to fall. That there is no one left.”

Juskeily Matheeus, 27, and her 11-year-old son also rejoiced outside the Brooklyn prison, as passing cars honked in support and others screamed “Finally” in Spanish and “Viva Venezuela” while waving flags.
The jubilant mom said she was “celebrating the fall of Maduro!”
“I will never forget this day,” said 27-year-old Venezuelan Jesus Rodriguez.
“I came to see Maduro get punished for all the bad things he’s done for my country. I feel grateful for what Donald Trump did today for our country. I want to go back to be with my family. Now there is hope.”

Starting to look like the only people opposing arresting Maduro are a bunch of tone deaf dumbass democrats that can't read a room.

The folks in that photo look to be well-fed. America has been quite good to them, by the looks of it.
While Mamdani sends them a Cake with a File in it ,LOL
Yeah, I’ve been hearing Venezuelans will want to leave the US now that Maduro is gone......I have my doubts.
Nah its the typical white commies who are given pre made signs and told to go out there and pretend to be outraged for 30 bucks an hour
Will he order the police to arrest these “rioters”?
And Rep Massie and MTG.
Some will leave, but it’ll take a while for them to actually get gone if things are as bad as we hear. IMO, most will stay in the US.
Is there any footage of the Venezuelan populace at this hour? I wonder if they are filling the streets of Caracas at noontime?
Will he order the police to arrest these “rioters”?
What Police he only has Social Workers ,LOL
No Kings!!!!
surprised that hollywood, kamalalama and mumdammi weren’t there hugging and kissing her and vowing to free them
while screaming about “No Kings” i meant to add-
I’m waiting to see of Mamdani, you know, being mayor an all, tries to interfere in some way with the detention/court process in Brooklyn…
Millions left, like over in Ukraine when the little pervert was installed and ramped up laundering $$ for the Bidens.
Many Vennies will return. We, of course, will be stuck with the hard core criminals that BeijingBiden imported so mailin ballots would have a name.
On protests — where are the hamas/Iranian protesters? Wut, no one can spin this into a “hate Jews” scenario?
Commies always have a secret police handy to come in a crack some skulls.
He’s counting on some judge to let him out though the back door of a courtroom.
They’re Commies. You expect rational thinking?
I pray that the vast majority of Venezuelans in Venezuela feel the same.
What on God’s green earth makes to think OR honestly believe that some damn judge in NYC won’t let him out the back door I FIRMLY BELIEVE that in NYC there is no way this damn guy won’t be out walking the streets in no time!!! Probably on a private jet right back to Venezuela!!!!
