Binghamton drug dealer Kimoy Mcdonald got a 144 month (12 year) federal prison sentence on Dec 18th 2025, so why is he in the MDC Brooklyn detention holding facility for people set for trial like cocaine king Nicolas Maduro? NEW YORK (AP) — The Brooklyn jail holding Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro is a facility so troubled, some judges have refused to send people there even as it has housed such famous inmates as music stars R. Kelly and Sean “Diddy” Combs. Opened in the early 1990s, the Metropolitan Detention Center, or MDC Brooklyn, currently houses about 1,300 inmates. It’s the routine landing spot for people awaiting trial in federal courts in Manhattan and Brooklyn, holding alleged gangsters and drug traffickers alongside some people accused of white collar crimes. Current detainees include the co-founder of Mexico’s Sinaloa drug cartel, Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada Garcia, and Luigi Mangione, who is accused of killing the CEO of United Healthcare.
Nicolás Maduro has been indicted by the United States on charges of narco-terrorism and drug trafficking, which allege his involvement in a scheme to move thousands of tons of cocaine into the U.S., with shipments reaching areas like New York City. Nicolás Maduro was formally indicted in the Southern District of New York. The indictment alleged that Maduro and his associates conspired with Colombian guerrilla groups to traffic cocaine into the United States. As of early January 2026, former Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, are being held at the Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) in Brooklyn, New York. Following their capture by U.S. forces and transfer to the U.S., they are awaiting trial on federal charges related to drug trafficking and weapons
