Erie County Democratic Committee Chairman Len Lenihan issued the following statement today:

“Today brings the election of the new chair of the County Legislature Betty Jean Grant and the new Majority Leader Tom Mazur. Betty Jean Grant is a solid team player who loves Buffalo and is willing to stand up and fight for her constituents. In her new role in leading the new 11-member Legislature, Betty Jean Grant will be a consensus builder and work with the other side of the aisle and the administration of new County Executive Mark Poloncarz to move Erie County forward. Tom Mazur is also a big picture leader who will work to build consensus in this new era of downsizing and fiscal austerity. Erie County can be proud of Betty Jean Grant and Tom Mazur who will put the people’s business first.”

‘Go home’: DHS official urges Venezuelans in US to self-deport following Maduro’s arrest



A Department of Homeland Security spokesperson said on Sunday that Venezuelans living in the U.S. with temporary protected status should self-deport following the capture of the country's dictator.

On Saturday morning, the Trump administration sent military forces to Venezuela to detain dictator Nicolás Maduro. Maduro and his wife were then swiftly brought to the U.S., where they will stand trial for narco-terrorism and gun charges. Some legal experts have said the move exceeded Trump's authority as president, and calls for the president to be impeached began to grow following the move.

Tricia McLaughlin, DHS assistant secretary for public affairs, offered a different take during an appearance on Fox News's "The Big Weekend Show" on Sunday. She said Maduro's arrest gives Venezuelans living in the U.S. protected status a reason to "go home."

"I think the great news for people from Venezuela who are here on temporary protected status is that they can now go home with hope for their country that they love," McLaughlin said.

The Trump administration has sought to end temporary protected status for multiple ethnicities during his second administration. However, courts have mostly blocked the administration from ending the status. Most recently, a judge in San Francisco ruled that the administration's efforts to end TPS for people from Honduras, Nepal, and Nicaragua were illegal.

McLaughlin claimed there has been a "loss of integrity" in the program.
