Ileana Ros-Lehtinen: “It's appalling that this administration has not prioritized the overturning of these politically motivated convictions.”

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.

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.

It's important to note Ranking Member Engel's BURMA Act, which still needs to be passed and that aims to impose additional sanctions.

I add my support for all the measures before us today.
