Reps. Jefferson Shreve (R-Ind.) and Sydney Kamlager-Dove (D-Calif.) on Friday will introduce legislation to strengthen staffing at the Department of Commerce's Bureau of Industry and Security, according to a press release shared first with Axios.

Los Angeles Rep. Sydney Kamlager-Dove, D-Calif., chose the word “fascinating” for the first year of the 119th Congress.

“It’s been fascinating to see all of the capitulation, duplicity and hypocrisy coming out of this Republican conference,” said the two-term lawmaker. “I am amazed to see adults act like children for a whole year.”

U.S. Rep. Sydney Kamlager-Dove (D-Calif.-37) described the operation as a significant escalation of Trump’s broader foreign policy approach.

Rep. Kamlager-Dove commemorates one of the darkest days in U.S. history.

Rep. Sydney Kamlager-Dove, D- Los Angeles: “President Trump has not offered the American people any clear strategic objective for a U.S. invasion of Venezuela except to take over its oil reserves. Trump has repeatedly lied to Congress about his intentions — an evasion of accountability that has led the U.S. into prolonged military conflicts before. These military operations are a return to the same failed playbook of Cold War-era interventionism and regime change that decades later still hangs over — and will now re-poison — U.S. engagement in the region.

Rep. Sydney Kamlager-Dove, D-Los Angeles, ranking member of the House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on South and Central Asia and member of the Western Hemisphere Subcommittee, also slammed Trump's action Saturday.

"The American people do not want to be dragged into another war. The Trump Administration must immediately come before Congress to face accountability for the lack of legal authority and articulate their plan -- if any -- for what comes next," Kamlager-Dove added.

During a House Foreign Affairs Committee hearing prior to the congressional recess, Rep. Sydeny Kamlager-Dove (D-CA) spoke about President Trump's tariffs on India.
