Maduro has now arrived at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center, say US media outlets.
The facility is known for housing other high-profile prisoners, including Ghislaine Maxwell and P Diddy.
He arrived at a military base in the US earlier on Saturday. He was taken to the offices of the US Drug Enforcement Administration in New York, and indicted on drugs and weapons charges, before being taken to the Brooklyn facility. He has previously denied being the leader of a drug cartel.
Maduro and his wife are to be arraigned at an unspecified date before a judge in New York.
As the dust settles in Caracas, Venezuelans are reacting to the news of President Nicolás Maduro’s capture by the US with hope, fear, and uncertainty.
After a night rocked by explosions in the Caracas Valley, the moods of people on the streets ranged from celebration to condemnation.
Dina, a local resident, told the BBC that for now, she is grateful to the US for “taking Maduro out of here” because now, she “at least can see some light at the end of the tunnel again”.
Meanwhile, supporters of Maduro’s government have also been rallying in the capital, demanding the release of their leader. Caracas Mayor Carmen Meléndez, a firm government loyalist, joined in the rally to protest against what she called Maduro’s “kidnapping”.
New satellite images captured by Vantor and analysed by BBC Verify show damage to a number of buildings at a prominent military complex in Venezuela after US strikes this morning.
At least six structures within the complex appear to have sustained serious damage.
In one image, which shows the northern edge of the facility, smoke is rising from a large structure with red roofs, with three smaller buildings south of it almost entirely destroyed.
