Ileana Ros-Lehtinen: “In my native homeland of Cuba, Raul Castro continues to call the shots as head of the Communist Party.”

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.

We had Joe Crowley and Steve Chabot, who's a wonderful member of our committee, pass an important bill condemning the ethnic cleansing going on.
