Description

Our team recorded a roundtable discussion at WOLA the morning after this year's State of the Union, particularly focused on what the president's words and actions mean for human rights and U.S. foreign policy in Latin America.  Adam Isacson (Director for Defense Oversight), Maureen Meyer (Director for Mexico and Migrant Rights), Geoff Ramsey (Director for Venezuela) and Marguerite Rose Jiménez (Director for Cuba) discuss the surprising appearance of opposition leader Juan Guaidó, the president's comments on Cuba, and the toxic business as usual attitude towards migrants and immigration policy.  Read our livetweets from last night on our Twitter and sign up for our newsletter on wola.org.
