We welcome the release today of all wrongfully detained U.S. citizens from Venezuela, as well as 20 political prisoners. We will continue to work with partners toward a restoration of democracy in Venezuela.
Lots of hostage families in town this week. Come join @BOFHcampaign as we take down our mural in Freedom Alley in Georgetown (3131 M St).
Thanks to generous support from JM Zell, the building’s owner, a new mural will be coming soon.
“I’ve been held in captivity now for approximately 20 months, and there is nothing I want more than my own liberty and the liberty of my fellow brothers and sisters who are currently being held in captivity with me,” wrote [Eyvin] Hernandez.

Eyvin Hernandez, Jerrel Kenemore, & Joseph Ryan Cristella & Savoi Wright are all wrongfully detained by Venezuela. “We continue to insist and advocate everyday for their immediate release. We’re pursuing all avenues to secure their freedom.”

“Is there space for out-of-the-box thinking as we work to ensure the releases of detained Americans & Venezuelan political prisoners moving forward?” asks @GRamsey_LatAm at the Atlantic Council event in DC.
In yesterday's @ACLatAm event, @WHAAsstSecty made clear that the US believes Savoi Wright is wrongfully detained in #Venezuela, and mentioned him in the same context as Eyvin Hernández, Jerrel Kenemore and Joseph Cristella. See his remarks here: https://t.co/RGbXqxWYVE
Today, we sent this letter to @FLOTUS along with a BOFH ornament.
We ask her to add it to the @WhiteHouse holiday decorations and for her and @POTUS to meet with us on Dec 11-12 when our families are in DC.
We tried to get a hostage/detainee tree but no luck.

I, too, am asking for the release of my constituent Eyvin Hernandez. He has been unlawfully detained by Venezuela and deserves to be brought home.

Due to lack of significant progress by Nicolas Maduro and his representatives on the release of wrongfully detained U.S. nationals and Venezuelan political prisoners, the U.S. is reviewing our sanctions relief as we assess what progress has been made. https://t.co/Gszu3H4xV9

I pray Eyvin, a Los Angeles public defender, is seen in Washington and that he is brought home! 580 days wrongfully detained in Venezuela is unconscionable. Please, bring him home.
NEW: @VP Kamala Harris and @SecondGentleman met on Friday morning with family members of Americans who remain unaccounted for in Israel, some of whom are believed to be held hostage by a Hamas. The meeting, led by @StateSPEHA, was described as very emotional and "deeply moving"
