July 18, 2023
A bipartisan resolution in Congress is urging the release of an L.A. County public defender who has been wrongfully detained in a Venezuelan jail since March of 2022.
The resolution is led by Congresswoman Sydney Kamlager-Dove, who represents a district in Los Angeles County.
"Eyvin Hernandez is my constituent. He is from Los Angeles. He is an angel from the city of angels, and it is time that we bring Eyvin home," she said at a press conference in front of the U.S. Capitol building on Tuesday.
