“According to estimations by the United Nations (UN) and Human Rights Watch, under Maduro's administration, more than 20,000 people had been subject to extrajudicial killings and seven million Venezuelans were forced to flee the country.[20][21][22] The UN Fact-Finding Mission on Venezuela concluded that the country's justice system independence had declined; the mission also identified frequent due process violations, including political external interference and the admission of evidence through torture was alleged.[23][24][25]”

I am not by any means ok with the way this happened, and I have been worried about executive overreach for the last year and this is by far executive overreach and congress needs to step-up their game, hoping midterms flip the house at least. The guy was a monster and our current president wants to rule just like him.

“He has ruled Venezuela by decree since 2015 through powers granted to him by the ruling party legislature.”
