Univision reporter Jorge Ramos was reportedly detained at the presidential palace in Caracas Monday by order of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and later released.

The network announced Ramos's detention on Monday evening.

Ramos, who was among a group of U.S.-based reporters conducting interviews with Maduro, was reportedly "arbitrarily detained" after he asked questions the Venezuelan strongman "didn't like."

[...]

Ramos and his team were released later Monday in Caracas, according to Univision journalist Daniel Coronell, who said he spoke with Ramos. Univision also confirmed their release.

Coronell added that the news crew's equipment was confiscated, as well as the material for the interview that Maduro "didn't like.""

Jorge Rodriguez, Maduro's minister of communication, denied Ramos had received unfair treatment, and called Univision's accusation "a cheap show."
