Bill > HRes987

This resolution denounces Nicolás Maduro's regime in Venezuela as authoritarian, despotic, and murderous, and commends President Trump for taking decisive action. It specifically praises a special operation on January 3, 2026, involving U.S. law enforcement, military, and intelligence assets to arrest and exfiltrate Maduro, holding him accountable for alleged narcotrafficking and crimes against humanity that have harmed Americans and other nations. The resolution highlights that this action was long called for by members of Congress, citing numerous past legislative efforts by both Democrats and Republicans to condemn Maduro's actions, including his suppression of political opposition, human rights abuses, and undermining of democratic processes and elections. It also criticizes some members of Congress who opposed the operation, viewing their statements as disconcerting given the perceived widespread support for removing Maduro. The resolution concludes by recognizing President Trump's leadership in expediting Maduro's downfall.
