Miami-Dade County, FL – Miami-Dade Sheriff Rosie Cordero-Stutz issued a public statement today voicing support for renewed accountability efforts involving Venezuela, calling the moment “a powerful sign of hope” for Venezuelans and communities impacted by transnational crime — including South Florida.
According to the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office, the statement emphasized years of damage caused by what the sheriff described as criminal networks, corruption, and narco-terrorism tied to Venezuela’s institutions. The sheriff noted that these activities have destabilized communities across the hemisphere and contributed to crime affecting residents locally.
“This moment did not happen by accident,” the statement read, crediting what the sheriff called decisive leadership at the highest levels of government and a renewed commitment to confronting criminal regimes that profit from violence, corruption, and human suffering.
In the statement, Sheriff Cordero-Stutz publicly commended former President Donald Trump for what she described as an unwavering stance against narco-terrorism and transnational crime, contrasting it with policies she characterized as appeasement.
Miami-Dade County is home to one of the largest Venezuelan communities in the United States. The sheriff highlighted the presence of families who fled oppression, rebuilt their lives in South Florida, and continue to advocate for a free Venezuela.
The statement reaffirmed the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office’s commitment to public safety, the rule of law, and the protection of communities affected by international criminal activity.
“Justice matters. Accountability matters,” the statement concluded, emphasizing law enforcement’s role in combating transnational crime while supporting affected immigrant communities.
