General Discussion

Manuel Noriega was arrested in Panama and taken to the US for trial, and in that case the court did not address the question of whether the invasion that led to his capture was lawful, apparently considering that issue as irrelevant to the criminal case before it, and possibly beyond the scope of the court's authority to decide. Since Noriega was in custody following a valid indictment, the court didn't consider the legality of how he ended up there in the first place. That analysis, or the lack of it, may be constitutionally shaky but it's likely that the prosecution of Maduro will follow the same path.
