Seize the assets of the Venezuelan generals at the border

Responding to Venezuelan regime attacks against civilians, the U.S. should identify those commanders responsible and seize their assets.

The need for action is clear. Four civilians were killed on Saturday as they sought to bring aid across the Brazilian and Colombian borders into Venezuela. That aid was to have been used to alleviate chronic starvation rates and shortages of basic medicines. But although about 100 Venezuelan security officers defected to Juan Guaido’s opposition movement over the weekend, most Venezuelan military commanders remain in Nicolas Maduro’s corner.
