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.”

Alligator Alcatraz has attracted criticism from lawmakers, human rights groups, and environmental advocates. In a post on X, the Congressional Hispanic Caucus wrote, “It’s hurricane season and all this administration can do is put more people in harm’s way. Alligator Alcatraz is a sick political stunt.” Environmental advocates worry the site could harm the fragile Everglades ecosystem.

“El Museo Nacional del Latino Estadounidense fue autorizado por el Congreso para contar la verdad completa y sin disculpas sobre las contribuciones de los latinos a la historia de Estados Unidos”, dijo el presidente del CHC, el Rep. Adriano Espaillat (NY-13). “No podemos permitir que este proyecto crítico sea marginado o reciba menos fondos."

Espaillat said that "if you uphold the peace of a democratic society, you should not be anonymous. DHS and ICE agents wearing masks and hiding identification echoes the tactics of secret police authoritarian regimes."

The Congressional Hispanic Caucus came out swinging against the majority ruling in the birthright citizenship case. “The Supreme Court’s decision to limit nationwide injunctions is a dangerous step backward,”the caucus said in a post on X. “It weakens the courts’ ability to protect our communities and directly attacks birthright citizenship.”
