                   HOLDING CAMILA ORTEGA ACCOUNTABLE

  (Ms. SALAZAR asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. SALAZAR. Madam Speaker, Latin America's dictators exploit their 
children just like they exploit their own people.
  The best example is Nicaragua's dictator, Daniel Ortega. Ortega leads 
his corrupt, oppressive, dictatorial regime along with his wife and 
Vice President, Rosario Murillo. Their daughter, Camila Ortega, has 
defalcated millions and millions of dollars from the Nicaraguan people 
while her mother and father continue oppressing anyone who opposes 
them.
  Madam Speaker, 10 days ago, the United States Government blacklisted 
Camila Ortega for corruption. She is officially sanctioned. Her bank 
accounts are frozen. No one can do business with her at this hour. She 
will no longer lavishly spend the people's money in the streets of 
Miami, my district, where I represent thousands and thousands of the 
Nicaraguan exile community who fled her father's regime and his 
oppression.
  Madam Speaker, from the floor of the United States Congress, from 
this floor, we ask the European Union and Canada to join America in 
holding Camila Ortega accountable.
  Ortega wants to steal the elections by jailing anyone who opposes 
him. But make no mistake, he and his family will pay for these 
atrocities.
