Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro has formally asserted immunity in a U.S. court and urged a judge to dismiss the charges against him. Maduro has pleaded not guilty to drug trafficking charges and is scheduled to stand trial on June 1, 2027, should his dismissal effort fail.
The legal proceedings follow his removal from power, during which he was abducted by U.S. forces amidst a military attack on Caracas that occurred in January.
