Rubio Statement on Suspension of Entry to Individuals Linked to Maduro Crime Family

Statement

U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) released a statement after President Donald Trump issued a proclamation, under sections 212(f) and 215(a) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) (8 U.S.C. 1182(f) and 1185(a)) and section 301 of title 3, United States Code, suspending the entry of senior illegitimate Venezuelan officials and their families to the United States.

"No mercenary linked to the Maduro narco terrorist tyranny, including members of the illegitimate National Constituent Assembly, should be permitted to enter the United States. After yesterday's multilateral meeting on the situation in Venezuela, it is clear this Administration continues to prioritize the restoration of democratic order and the rule of law in Venezuela. I welcome this measure, which will also restrict the admission of many members of the illegitimate regime and their immediate relatives."

Rubio is the Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Subcommittee on Western Hemisphere, Transnational Crime, Civilian Security, Democracy, Human Rights, and Global Women's Issues.
