"South Florida is home to the largest Venezuelan diaspora within the United States. Roughly 40% of the residents in Doral, Florida — a city west of Miami — are of Venezuelan descent."
"Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, a South Florida Democrat with a sizable Venezuelan population in her district, bucked her party Saturday to praise President Donald Trump’s capture of socialist dictator Nicolás Maduro.
"Wasserman Schultz said the U.S. military operation removing Maduro from power is “welcome news” for the millions of Venezuelans living in exile, though she argued Congress should have been informed. Conversely, a chorus of congressional Democrats immediately slammed the successful military operation as illegal and contrary to American interests.
“ 'The capture of the brutal, illegitimate ruler of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, who oppressed Venezuela’s people is welcome news for my friends and neighbors who fled his violent, lawless, and disastrous rule,” Wasserman Schultz wrote on X Saturday morning.So said Eric Swalwell
"The South Florida Democrat, who notably chaired the Democratic National Committee (DNC) from 2011 to 2016, also called for a “liberated Venezuela” featuring democratic rule, arguing “cutting off the head of a snake is fruitless if it just regrows.”
“ 'This action offers beleaguered Venezuelans a chance to seat their true, democratically elected president, Edmundo González,” Wasserman Schultz continued." . . .
"Many Florida lawmakers enthusiastically backed the seizure of Maduro and his wife, First Lady Cilia Flores, who were indicted Saturday on federal charges in the Southern District of New York.
“Maduro’s narco-dictatorship has ENDED,” Rep. María Elvira Salazar, who represents a South Florida district covering downtown Miami, wrote on X. “The narcoterrorist who poisoned our children, exported crime to our neighborhoods through the Tren de Aragua, and turned Venezuela into a State of terror will now face the justice of the United States.”
