“Amnesty International’s report relies on fraudulently attributing genocidal intent to Israeli officials and the Israeli people at large. The argument rests entirely on a politically driven revisionist definition of what constitutes a genocide, breaking with internationally accepted standards to reach Amnesty's desired conclusion.

Dana Nessel has distinguished herself as a just, discerning, and effective Attorney General. Michigan voters selected her to keep all communities safe, empowering her to faithfully exercise discretion and enforce the law. That’s exactly what she has done in the cases of anti-Israel campus protesters as well as counter-protestors accused of violent acts that go far beyond protected speech. Read more »

“Super-sizing the reward that leads to Maduro’s conviction will reinforce the already-decisive actions taken by the Biden-Harris Administration to target the criminal enterprise behind Venezuela’s election theft and the violent repression of its people,” said Wasserman Schultz. “The Biden-Harris White House deftly marshaled swift international pressure onto the Maduro regime, expanded existing sanctions, and rallied global support around this reality: Edmundo González won in a landslide and the Venezuelan people deserve to have their votes counted and rights respected. As Vice President Harris laid out emphatically in a recent letter, the United States 'will remain steadfast with the Venezuelan people in their fight for freedom.' This magnified reward for Maduro’s arrest would amplify those efforts.” Read more »

Venezuelans courageously took to the ballot box to seek true, legitimate representation after a lost decade under Maduro. Despite violent repression, overwhelming majorities repudiated Maduro and chose President-elect Edmundo González. But this brutal regime refuses to face reality, despite clear evidence proving Maduro’s loss. The Biden-Harris Administration successfully forced Maduro to hold this election. Now, the United States must ensure consequences for Maduro's attempt to overturn the will of the voters and support a democratic future for all Venezuelans.” Read more »

Venezuelans courageously took to the ballot box to seek true, legitimate representation after a lost decade under Maduro. And despite enormous barriers and personal risk, overwhelming majorities across the nation repudiated Maduro and chose democracy.

The violent repression of protestors’ demands for democracy must end and a peaceful transfer of power must begin. The Biden-Harris Administration successfully forced Maduro to hold this election. Now we must bring pressure to bear on Maduro and his cronies to respect the will of the Venezuelan people, or face the consequences. Read more »

Los venezolanos valientemente salieron a las urnas para buscar una representación verdadera y legítima después de una década perdida bajo Maduro. Y a pesar de enormes barreras y riesgos personales, abrumadoras mayorías en todo el país repudiaron a Maduro y eligieron la democracia. Sin embargo, este brutal narcorégimen se niega a enfrentar la realidad, a pesar de la clara evidencia que demuestra la derrota de Maduro. La violeta represión contra los manifestantes en su demanda por la democracia debe terminar y debe comenzar una transición pacífica del poder. La Administración Biden-Harris obligó con éxito a Maduro a realizar estas elecciones. Ahora tenemos que presionar a Maduro y sus matones para que respeten la voluntad del pueblo venezolano, o enfrenten las consecuencias. Read more »

We must also make equally clear that if Maduro recognizes the election results and allows a peaceful transition, the U.S. will end Venezuela’s pariah status, support reconstruction of its institutions and end this political crisis, once and for all. Read more »
