Rep. Fitzgerald Statement on Nicols Maduros Capture and Narco-Terrorism Indictment
OCONOMOWOC, WI — Congressman Scott Fitzgerald (WI-05) issued the following statement after President Trump addressed the nation regarding the capture and federal indictment of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro:
“Maduro did not simply illegitimately rule Venezuela. He led a regime that orchestrated drug trafficking, protected the cartels, and encouraged the flow of illegal drugs and violence into the United States.
“President Trump’s decisive action sends a clear message to the world. The United States will defend itself against foreign regimes that profit from drug trafficking and the actions of dangerous cartels targeting our nation. No individual, no matter how powerful, is above the law when Americans have been harmed by narco-terrorism.
“As President Trump confirmed, through this operation, the U.S. government removed Maduro from power. His indictment and transfer to federal court in New York is a crucial step toward justice.
