Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working and building friendships with some of the most remarkable Latino leaders in the U.S. Among them, @XavierBecerra has always stood out.

His distinguished service as a Member of Congress, Attorney General of California, and Secretary of Health and Human Services in the Biden Administration has established him as one of the most thoughtful, capable, and experienced leaders of our community.

Proud to call him a friend, and excited to support his journey to become the next Governor of #California.

¡Adelante Xavier!

Ideas para una #transición exitosa en #Venezuela

[IQ Latino @IQLatino]

This news makes it timely to revisit what our Founder, @lecumberry, proposed months ago: #Venezuela needs a broad national agreement to restore sovereignty, rebuild institutions, lift sanctions responsibly, and define a credible electoral path.

8 millones de venezolanos viven fuera del país. Envían entre $4.000-5.000 millones anuales en remesas. Sostienen al 30-40% de los hogares.
Pero siguen sin voz en el diálogo nacional. Lee el más reciente artículo de Leopoldo Martinez Nucete

Following recent developments—particularly the issuance of OFAC licenses allowing transactions with Venezuela’s Central Bank and state-owned financial institutions, and the IMF’s decision to resume formal engagement with Venezuela after years of suspension —I would like to share my thoughts on the country’s inevitable debt negotiations and the broader challenge of economic reconstruction.

La obsesión de la administración Trump los lleva nuevamente a abusar de las recursos de emergencia ante la Corte Suprema de Justicia, para desmantelar el #TPSVenezuela en contra de la más reciente decisión del magistrado Chen en la Corte Federal del Norte de California.

Es decir, para Trump y su administración las cosas en Venezuela están bien y no justifican el alivio migratorio para más de 600,000 venezolanos que están trabajando y perfectamente asimilados en nuestras comunidades acá en Estados Unidos.

@lecumberry @grok can you fact check this statement?

[Leopoldo Martínez Nucete @lecumberry]

The designation of #TrendeAragua—a criminal gang originally based in #Venezuela—as a terrorist organization was leveraged to justify President Trump’s invocation of the Alien Enemies Act. This resulted in questionable and arbitrary deportations of Venezuelan migrants to #CECOT in #ElSalvador without due process, an action that credible international human rights organizations have described as a form of cross-border enforced disappearance.

The Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) has raised concerns and called for remedies through Habeas Corpus for each case of detention, with ongoing litigation involving @ACLU representing the victims. Additionally, SCOTUS ordered the government to facilitate the return of #KilmarAbregoGarcia, a Salvadoran migrant detainee who had been removed to CECOT.

The extent and implications of Tren de Aragua's presence in the U.S. have faced challenges from the intelligence community, as reported by @nytimes.

Experts have also highlighted several additional concerns regarding this issue, as noted in the works by @IQLatino and @factchequeado 👇🏾

As a U.S. citizen born in Venezuela, I find it appropriate to demand moderation from @SecRubio and @StateDept regarding the issue of Esequibo.

The rights of Venezuela and Guyana over #Esequibo should not be analyzed through the lens of Maduro's continued hold on power, despite the electoral fraud of July 28, 2024.

Both Venezuela and Guyana have the right and obligation, in accordance with the Geneva Agreement of 1966, to resolve this territorial dispute through a peaceful method acceptable to both parties within the framework of international law, including UN mediation. It is indisputable that both parties recognized the nullity of the Arbitral Award of 1899, a process that was clearly corrupted by the United Kingdom at that time. In fact, the Geneva Agreement of 1966 had the backing of the entire international community, including U.S. diplomacy.

Furthermore, if one considers that the historical presence of Guyanese settlers in Esequibo grants territorial rights to #Guyana, it is important to note that the territorial borders of #Venezuela and Guyana project rights over maritime areas that need to be delimited. Therefore, it is unwise to encourage any form of economic exploitation or military maneuvers until this situation is resolved.

In my opinion, the most constructive position that U.S. diplomacy can adopt is to urge both parties to respect the Geneva Agreement of 1966 and commit to resolving the dispute in accordance with that agreement, refraining from carrying out economic or military operations in maritime areas yet to be delimited.

I don’t believe that the democratic alternative to Nicolás Maduro's regime will view this biased and provocative position from Secretary Marco Rubio favorably. If a political change were to occur in Venezuela in the near future, it would not be acceptable for any consequences to arise detrimental to the rights that would assist Venezuela under the application of the Geneva Agreement of 1966.
