BROOKLYN, NEW YORK – Brooklyn Democratic Party Chair Rodneyse Bichotte Hermelyn today issued a statement on the Trump administration's actions in Venezuela on the fifth anniversary of the attack on the U.S. Capitol.
"Five years ago on this day, Jan. 6, the violent insurrection on our Capitol foreshadowed the depth of Trump’s lawlessness. Just two days into this new year, the Trump regime has invaded Venezuela and declared control over their oil after capturing President Maduro. These unconstitutional actions by this authoritarian federal government continue to threaten the lives of Americans both abroad and at home, including our immigrant communities in Brooklyn. We must unite as Democrats to fight back so Congress can use their powers to stop this rogue power grab and descent into potential war."
