Live from NPR News. I'm Dale Willman. Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro will make his first appearance in US Federal court on Monday at noon Eastern time. That's just two days after his capture by U.S. forces this weekend. NPR's Joe Hernandez reports.

In the early stages of the case against him, Maduro will be advised of his right to an attorney, his right to remain silent and the charges against him, according to former federal prosecutor Adam Fels. Fels, who worked on the case against El Chapo Guzman, says a judge will also decide whether to release Maduro or confine him before trial and that defendants in narcotics cases involving guns are often kept behind bars while their cases unfold.

In the small Venezuelan town of Caripido, eight hours from Caracas, Marian Garcia says she hasn't been able to sleep since the attack. She was at a street party when suddenly the music was turned off and everyone was told to go home. And she's been in shock ever since. Garcia said her family in Caracas tell her they're safe, but one of her neighbors is in the Venezuelan National Guard and he was killed. Garcia said she's watched the Venezuelan economy collapse. Food is expensive when you can find it. Health care isn't available. Poverty is widespread, she said. I'm not going to forgive this government. Garcia said her country needs help, and if President Trump wants Venezuela's oil, then that might be a good thing. For NPR News, I'm David Martin Davies in San Antonio.
