Protesters are divided into barricades on two sides of Baxter Street, which is perpendicular to the courthouse where Maduro is being arraigned.
On the west side of the street are pro-Trump, pro-seizure (or both) protesters. “Support President Trump,” reads one sign, “Arrest dictator Maduro.”
On the other side of the street is a much larger group of anti-seizure and anti-Trump protesters. “FREE NICOLÁS MADURO,” reads one sign.
