Thekabarnews.com—Ex-Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro has made his first public appearance since his capture earlier this year. He delivered a message through a post on X from a US detention facility.
This statement, which came out over the weekend, is Maduro’s first direct communication since US troops arrested him and his wife, Cilia Flores. The arrest happened during a military operation in Caracas in early January 2026.
Maduro’s message said he and his wife are still healthy despite being in jail. The statement said, “We are well, strong, calm, and continue to pray,” but it is still unclear who ran the account or put up the message.
The couple also thanked everyone around the world who has helped them. Maduro said that messages, letters, and prayers from supporters have helped them emotionally while they were in jail.
“We have gotten letters, emails, and phone calls of support. Every act of love makes us stronger spiritually,” Maduro wrote.
Maduro used the statement to show how strong and united the Venezuelan people are during a time of political uncertainty. He thanked both domestic and international supporters for sticking together despite the ongoing tensions.
For almost three months, authorities have detained Maduro and Flores at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. This is a federal facility known for having tough conditions.
Reports indicate that detainees at the facility struggle with communication. Authorities reportedly allow Maduro to make only brief phone calls to his family and lawyers.
In January, US troops caught Maduro and brought him to New York to face several charges. These charges include drug trafficking and narcoterrorism conspiracy. He has said he is not guilty of any of the charges and called himself a “prisoner of war” in earlier court hearings.
Meanwhile, political events continue to unfold in Venezuela following his loss of power. Vice President Delcy Rodríguez has assumed leadership as the nation navigates economic issues and shifting diplomatic ties.
People all over the world are talking about Maduro coming back to social media. Even when things are tough, it is important to stay politically relevant and talk to your supporters directly.
The US is still discussing the ongoing case, but it remains a topic of global conversation. It shows that international law, national sovereignty, and geopolitical power do not all agree on what to do in Latin America.
