Huizenga Statement on the Capture of Nicolas Maduro

Today, Congressman Bill Huizenga (R-MI) released the following statement regarding the capture of Nicolas Maduro. Overnight, the United States conducted a successful military operation to apprehend Nicolas Maduro for crimes committed against the American people. This operation was carried out with precision, professionalism, and decades of intelligence. I want to thank the brave men and women who carried out their mission with skill and courage. These are decisive hours for the Venezuelan people. Anyone connected with Maduro should be viewed as illegitimate. The United States should recognize Edmundo Gonzalez Urrutia, the rightful winner of the past election, as President and work with him in this time of transition until the Venezuelan people can hold a free and fair election.
