The Trump Administration has started an illegal war against Venezuela. This is a nakedly imperialist war to install a US puppet government that will give Venezuela’s oil resources over to US corporations and to force US hegemony over Latin America—the new “Trump Corollary” to the Monroe Doctrine. This war is illegal both under international law and the laws governing the declaration of war within the United States.

On Wednesday January 7th, an ICE agent opened fire on people peacefully protesting ICE raids in Minneapolis, murdering an innocent person, Renee Nicole Good. One day later, ICE shot two more people in Portland. DSA condemns this murder, these shootings, and demands the abolition of ICE, which terrorizes our neighborhoods and makes everyone, regardless of citizenship status, less safe.

Democratic Socialists of America is calling on DSA chapters and all people of the United States to take action this Saturday, January 10th, to protest this illegal war, stand in solidarity with the sovereign people of Venezuela, and demand the abolition of ICE. Join us!
