The Miami prosecutor’s office maintains that Caracas knew perfectly well how to claim immunity because it used the mechanism to protect Rodríguez herself

The United States government has revealed, through the prosecutor’s office and before a federal court in Miami, that Delcy Rodríguez’s regime has not sought immunity for dictator Nicolás Maduro, even though his defense now wants the criminal case against him in New York dismissed precisely because he would supposedly be protected as head of state. Caracas’s failure to make that request has also become one of the prosecutor’s office’s main arguments for keeping the trial against Maduro on track, which is scheduled for June 2027.
