Venezuelan newspaper reporter Carola Briceño investigated the Maduro family’s corruption in Venezuela — and was arrested by his government in 2016 and accused of terrorism.
She eventually came to America in 2023 under a refugee resettlement program.
“Maduro asked for my head!” she said outside the courthouse Monday.
She said she was grateful Trump went in and got Maduro but thinks more of his family and greater orbit need to be in jail — maybe 60 people.
If Trump didn't do it, she says, who would?
