This House resolution denounces Nicolás Maduro’s regime as authoritarian and a threat, praises President Trump and U.S. military, law enforcement, and intelligence for a January 3, 2026 operation that arrested Maduro, and recounts numerous prior Congressional findings and bills criticizing Maduro’s human rights abuses.
