A Venezuelan X user posted about the fierce snowstorm in New York on February 24, 2026, between 7:46 PM and 9:46 PM UTC, recalling Nicolás Maduro, Cilia Flores, and metal toilets in Brooklyn's federal prison in connection to Alex Saab's prior U.S. detention, according to a post by @Arr3ch0 at https://x.com/Arr3ch0/status/2026232404176765396. The post expressed happiness for Venezuela amid the storm coverage, referencing Saab's association with the Maduro regime. This follows U.S. officials' earlier calls for Saab's extradition from Venezuela, broadcast by Venevisión in Caracas and posted on X by @alandete, as covered in reports from 3:15 PM to 7:46 PM UTC. The user's comment ties local weather in New York to Saab's 2021 detention in Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center before his 2023 return to Venezuela under the Biden administration, contrasting with current demands under President Trump and Secretary Rubio to bring him back for justice.
