Congresswoman María Elvira Salazar Commends Implementation of D.E.D. for Venezuelan Nationals

Statement

Congresswoman María Elvira Salazar (FL-27) issued the following statement in response to the White House's decision to provide Deferred Enforced Departure (D.E.D.) to Venezuelan nationals in the United States. Congresswoman Salazar is a longtime champion for the cause of freedom and democracy. She looks forward to continue fighting for the Venezuelan exile community in the halls of Congress.

"We have a fundamental obligation to provide safe-haven for those fleeing tyranny and oppression. This act of solidarity provides our Venezuelan exile community with much-needed assurance during these unprecedented times. I commend my dear friend and colleague, Congressman Mario Díaz-Balart, for his work with the administration and his unwavering commitment to the plight of the Venezuelan people.

"I will never stop fighting for this just cause until Venezuela is freed from the murderous, socialist Maduro regime and is once again a vibrant, prosperous democracy that respects the rule of law" said Congresswoman Salazar.
