So what will be the justification for kidnapping Maduro's wife? [View all]

OK, Maduro has been indicted in NY according to Bondi. But what about his wife? If she hasn't also been indicted she will have to be released. And then what? Will she be deported to Somalia or let loose to lead demonstrations for her husband's release in Times Square?
