Democratic senators Catherine Cortez Masto and Adam Schiff have called on Secretary of State Marco Rubio to provide a detailed report regarding potential human rights violations in Venezuela under the interim presidency of Delcy Rodríguez. In a letter released on Monday, as reported by EFE, the legislators demanded that the State Department take decisive actions to prevent further abuses. They stated, "We urge the State Department to reaffirm its commitment" to highlighting human rights abuses and pressuring those responsible, emphasized Cortez and Schiff. This provision bars the United States from offering aid to governments that engage in a consistent pattern of gross human rights violations. The senators expressed deep concern over the "severe human rights violations" in Venezuela, noting that the abuses evident during Nicolás Maduro's tenure have not ceased with his capture and Rodríguez's interim leadership.
