Univision journalists freed after being detained at Venezuelan presidential palace
https://www.cnn.com/2019/02/25/media/univision-venezuela-jorge-ramos/index.htmlNew York (CNN Business) — The Univision network said six of its staffers, including veteran anchorman Jorge Ramos, were briefly detained at the presidential palace in Caracas, Venezuela, on Monday.
Ramos and the crew members were released a little less than three hours after the episode began.

He said government aides confiscated the network's equipment.

After the team was released, Univision broke into programming for a special report — with Ramos joining by phone. He said Maduro "got up from the interview after I showed him the videos of some young people eating out of a garbage truck."
