| WASHINGTON, D.C.— House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence Chairman Rick Crawford (AR-01) released the following statement after the U.S. arrested Nicolas Maduro. “First, I want to commend the incredible U.S. law enforcement, military, and intelligence professionals involved in this morning’s raid to arrest Nicolas Maduro. Once again, they have shown themselves to be the best in the world. “This is a historic day in the Western Hemisphere, 36 years after the capture of Manuel Noriega, when the U.S showed we will not allow cartels to take over countries in our shared neighborhood. The arrest of Cartel De Los Soles leader Nicolas Maduro shows this clearly. “Venezuela could never start the road back to the great nation it once was until Maduro was out of the way. I call upon the Venezuelan people to reclaim their freedom.” ### |
