Nicolas Maduro, Venezuela’s former leader, returns to a New York courtroom today facing grave drug trafficking charges alongside his wife, Cilia Flores—both reportedly planning to invoke immunity, which could derail the case.

The hearing also reveals how the couple is coping in one of the toughest detention facilities in the U.S., where high-profile detainees have struggled.
