At around 5:25pm (local time) on Saturday at Stewart Air National Guard Base in New York, a person in custody was escorted out of the plane believed to be carrying ousted Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro.
The person, believed to be Maduro, gingerly made his way down a stairway one step at a time, then was led across the tarmac surrounded by a crowd of at least three dozen federal agents.
Several agents in the crowd appeared to film the person on their phones.
The captured Venezuelan leader was in handcuffs and wearing grey clothing as he was led down the stairs onto the tarmac by more than a dozen federal agents wearing black, CNN reports.
