Venezuelan Lawyers in the U.S. Demand Visa Revocation for Soccer Player Matías Lacava Amid Political Tensions
In a dramatic turn of events, Venezuelan lawyers based in the United States have called for the revocation of the visa of soccer player matías Lacava, son of Carabobo governor Rafael Lacava. The request, directed to Senator Marco Rubio, comes amid allegations of political persecution and concerns over national security.
The controversy began when lawyer John De La Vega, a U.S. Army veteran, reported receiving threats after requesting an investigation into Matías Lacava’s visa status. Through his Instagram account, De La Vega shared images of threatening posters left on his property by groups allegedly linked to chavismo, the political movement associated wiht Venezuela’s ruling party. The posters bore messages such as, “What is with one, is with all. Bolivarian Fury.”
De La Vega condemned the acts, stating, “The United States does not tolerate political persecution. This hate crime will not be accepted.” He confirmed that he is working with the Miami-Dade police, the FBI, and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to identify those responsible.
The legal push against Matías Lacava intensified on January 13, when a firm of Venezuelan lawyers formally requested Senator Marco Rubio to revoke the soccer player’s visa. The document outlines three key demands:
- An exhaustive investigation into Matías Lacava’s visa request.
- The revocation of any immigration benefits granted to him.
- Strengthened immigration controls to prevent individuals linked to Nicolás Maduro’s regime from entering the U.S.
The lawyers argue that it is inappropriate for relatives of Chavismo figures to enter the country without thorough scrutiny. “it is indeed essential to protect national security and the democratic principles that underpin this country,” the document emphasized.
The request also highlights the Venezuelan diaspora’s trust in Marco Rubio’s commitment to democratic values and human rights.Rubio, who is set to lead the DHS under the incoming trump management, has yet to publicly respond to the appeal.
Matías Lacava is scheduled to participate in a soccer friendly between Venezuela and the United States on January 18 in fort Lauderdale, Florida. The match has become a focal point of the controversy, with critics questioning the appropriateness of his presence on U.S.soil.
