Fifty days after her election, Congressional Hispanic Caucus Chair Adriano Espaillat (D-NY) held a news conference to welcome newly sworn-in Rep. Adelita Grijalva (D-AZ). Chair Espaillat expressed frustration with the delay, calling it illegal and unprecedented, and he called for a vote on the release of documents related to convicted financier and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

“No somos enemigos, somos parte de este país”, dijo con firmeza el congresista Adriano Espaillat, presidente del Caucus Hispano del Congreso (CHC), acompañado de representantes de la Federación Hispana, en el inicio de una nueva campaña nacional en defensa de la comunidad migrante.

Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) holds a ceremonial swearing-in for Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva (D-AZ) , more than a month after winning a special election to replace her late father Raul Grijalva.

With Congress making progress towards ending the government shutdown, Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva could be sworn into office at some point this week.

Grijalva won a special election seven weeks ago to replace her late father, Rep. Raúl Grijalva, in Arizona’s Congressional District 7 but has yet to be officially sworn into office.

The long-awaited release of the Epstein files appears to be one step closer, after Speaker of the House Mike Johnson announced on Monday that Adelita Grijalva, the Representative-elect from Arizona, will be sworn into office before the upcoming vote on legislation to reopen the government. Grijalva was elected nearly seven weeks ago.
