Ileana Ros-Lehtinen: “This is unacceptable and it is appalling.”

As a person who lost her native homeland, Cuba, to communism, where we don't have elections, I always say that it is wonderful to get interrupted by elections and by votes.

In 2014, we supported a resolution that this committee passed--Jim McGovern's House Resolution 418, which called for an end to persecution.

This important resolution condemns the Maduro regime for its role in the deterioration of Venezuela's democratic institutions.

I would like to tighten the sanctions on those military leaders because I see that as the problem.
