The scene was tense, with supporters and opponents of the Venezuelan leader packed outside the Manhattan courthouse, churning out chants and beating drums in a cacophony of sound. But what would happen next would be anyone's guess, as Maduro's lawyers argued that the U.S. was violating his constitutional rights by blocking Venezuelan government money from paying his legal fees.
