Venezuela Detained Americans
FILE – Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro speaks during a ceremony marking the start of the judicial year at the Supreme Court in Caracas, Venezuela, Jan. 22, 2021. In a calm if desperate-sounding voice Eyvin Hernandez, a Los Angeles attorney detained for months in Venezuela, said in a Aug. 21, 2022 recording provided to The Associated Press, that he and other Americans imprisoned in Venezuela — at least 10, including five oil executives and three veterans — all feel “like our government has abandoned us.” (AP Photo/Matias Delacroix, File)
