“No hay nada más antiamericano que oponerse a darle oportunidades a todo. Los ataques de esta administración en contra de los esfuerzos DEIA delatan su ideología enfermiza. Actúan como si, para que unos tengan éxito, otros deben fracasar”, indicó el presidente del Caucus Hispano del Congreso, Adriano Espaillat (Nueva York), de origen dominicano.

More than 90 Democratic lawmakers filed a brief with a federal court this week telling it to block an agreement between the IRS and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) that would give the agency access to private taxpayer data. It’s no accident that the IRS and Congress for decades allowed all workers to pay into our system — it is an obvious and indisputable benefit for our nation,” said Rep. Adriano Espaillat (D-N.Y.), chair of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, in a statement.

More Than 90 Democrats Call on Court of Appeals to Defend Taxpayer Privacy
“Desde su designación inicial en 1999, el TPS para Nicaragua se prorrogó 13 veces consecutivas (por períodos de 12 o 18 meses cada vez) bajo la misma base estatutaria de desastre ambiental”, detalla el documento. En los últimos años, activistas y organizaciones exigieron al Gobierno la designación del TPS para Nicaragua, El Salvador, Honduras y Guatemala, una petición a la que se sumó el Caucus Hispano del Congreso en 2023.
“If you uphold the peace of a democratic society, you should not be anonymous,” said Espaillat, who serves as the Congressional Hispanic Caucus chair. “DHS and ICE agents wearing masks and hiding identification echoes the tactics of secret police authoritarian regimes—and deviates from the practices of local law enforcement, which contributes to confusion in communities.”
“We will not succumb to any intimidation tactics,” CHC Chair Rep. Adriano Espaillat of New York said. “We will continue to comply with our duty to have oversight of these detention centers, and we will visit them within the parameters of the law.”

Congressional Hispanic Caucus Condemns Republican Budget Betrayal
Washington, D.C. – Congressional Hispanic Caucus (CHC) leadership issued the following statement regarding passage of Trump's Big, Ugly Bill:
El presidente del Caucus Hispano del Congreso, Adriano Espaillat, tronó contra la aprobación de la ley en la Cámara. De acuerdo con el representante demócrata de Nueva York, el contenido del plan en temas como Medicaid traiciona las promesas electorales de los republicanos, y, en particular, del presidente. “Este proyecto de ley no cumple las promesas que los republicanos le hicieron al pueblo estadounidense”, expuso Espaillat.
“Our amendments — the same ones that could have made this bill palatable in May — should be subject to real debate, to real votes and to serious consideration by the majority,” said CHC Chair Rep. Adriano Espaillat (NY-13). “The CHC has the policy depth to build a budget worthy of the American people. Instead we are discussing quite possibly the worst, most dangerous budget betrayal ever imposed on this body.”
