Small public turnout ahead of Maduro court appearance
Media swarmed outside 500 Pearl St. ahead of Maduro's first appearance.
The public turnout, however, was sparse. Photographers and reporters far outnumbered protesters who congregated across the street while holding signs that said, "No Blood for Venezuelan Oil," "No Criminal Trump Invasion" and "USA Hands Off Venezuela."
Some draped themselves in the country's flag.
Pro-intervention demonstrators briefly sparred with anti-Trump protesters, grabbing at their flags before police set up metal barricades to separate the groups.
Inside the courthouse there was increased staffing of U.S. marshals to handle security.
