Lankford Releases Statement on Arrest of Nicolás Maduro

OKLAHOMA CITY, OK—US Senator James Lankford (R-OK), Senate Republican Conference Vice Chair and member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, released the following statement following the arrest of Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro.
“When you funnel drugs and chaos into American streets, you should face justice. Today the very long and powerful arm of justice grabbed Nicolás Maduro and will put him in front of an American court,”said Lankford.“Maduro was a dictator who ruled through fraud, repression, and corruption, and his regime enabled drug trafficking that sent deadly narcotics into the United States. The Venezuelan people deserve free and fair elections and a peaceful return to freedom and prosperity. Thank you, President Trump, for keeping your word to stop the flow of drugs and crime into our nation.”
