A preschool teacher was arrested while giving an interview to local television about how she disagreed with Donald Trump’s actions in Venezuela.

22-year-old Jessica Plichta had just finished speaking with ABC 13 in Grand Rapids, Michigan, having organised a protest in the city.

Just three weeks ago, Jessica had visited the country for an international summit, where she said the Venezuelan people ‘loved’ Maduro.
