How to use repressing in a sentence?

  1. Marco Rubio:

    I will give the Castros a choice: either continue repressing your people and lose the diplomatic relations and benefits provided by President Obama, or carry out meaningful political and human rights reforms and receive increased U.S. trade, investment, and support.

  2. Aaron David Miller:
