Five House Democrats, led by Rep. Seth Moulton (D-MA), said on Friday they are attempting to restore “constitutional guardrails” to U.S. military operations targeting Venezuela after President Donald Trump threatened sedition charges against Democratic veterans in Congress.

During a press conference on Capitol Hill, the lawmakers announced legislation designed to cut funding for U.S. operations in or against Venezuela, including the lethal airstrikes on boats allegedly trafficking drugs and being operated by narcoterrorists. The 21 strikes ordered by Trump have killed at least 83 people since early September.
