Iván Simonovis, who was jailed for years in Venezuela

Iván Simonovis was a commissioner of the Caracas metropolitan police force in 2002 as protests broke out against Hugo Chávez, Venezuela’s former president.

During a protest in Caracas, several demonstrators were killed. In 2004, Mr. Simonovis was jailed on charges related to the killings. He would remain imprisoned for some 15 years.

But many believed he had been made a scapegoat by government loyalists, and Mr. Simonovis’s incarceration became a rallying cry for the political opposition.

He escaped to the United States in 2019, The Wall Street Journal reported.

The Trumps’ other guests include: Jody Jones, a California woman whose husband was fatally shot by an undocumented immigrant; Robin Schneider of Kansas City and her daughter Ellie Schneider, whose “miracle” birth in 2017 at 21 weeks and six days was hailed as a medical achievement; Janiyah Davis, a fourth-grade student from Philadelphia, and her mother, Stephanie Davis, an advocate for school choice; and Paul Morrow, an Army veteran who started his own business in Alabama.

Members of Congress each get one ticket to bring a guest to the speech — often a symbolic choice. This year is no different. Here are some of the people who have been invited.
