A resolution calling for the immediate release of Eyvin Hernandez, a United States citizen and Los Angeles County public defender, who was wrongfully detained by the Venezuelan regime in March 2022.

Senate Resolution SRES 320 calls for the immediate release of Eyvin Hernandez, a U.S. citizen and Los Angeles County public defender wrongfully detained in Venezuela since March 2022. It urges the Biden administration, including the Secretary of State and Special Presidential Envoy for Hostage Affairs, to use all available tools to secure his release and condemns Venezuela’s practice of detaining U.S. citizens for political purposes. The resolution also expresses support for all U.S. citizens wrongfully detained abroad and solidarity with Hernandez and his advocates. As a non-binding resolution, it does not create new law but formally states the Senate’s position on this specific case.
