Calling for the immediate release of Eyvin Hernandez, a United States citizen and Los Angeles County public defender, who was wrongfully detained by the Venezuelan regime in March 2022.

House Resolution 578 is a formal declaration by the U.S. House of Representatives calling for the immediate release of Eyvin Hernandez, a Los Angeles County public defender who was detained in Venezuela in March 2022. The resolution officially classifies his imprisonment as wrongful and urges the President and federal officials to use all available diplomatic tools to secure his return to the United States. While the resolution does not carry the force of law, it serves as a unified statement of congressional intent to prioritize Hernandez’s case and provides formal support for all other American citizens currently held against their will in Venezuela.
