CHC Chair Statement on President Trump's Threat to Pull Back Federal Recovery of Puerto Rico

Washington D.C. – The Congressional Hispanic Caucus (CHC) Chair Rep. Michelle Lujan Grisham (NM-01) released the following statement today on President Trump's tweet threatening to pull back the federal disaster response from Puerto Rico as they recover from a humanitarian crisis:

"The President is failing to live up to his responsibility to the American people. His suggestion that we will cut and run on our fellow Americans is disgraceful. The President of the most powerful and wealthiest country in the world should be assuring devastated Americans that its government's response will be unrelenting and unequivocal in restoring water, food, electricity, and critical healthcare and infrastructure, not the opposite."
