La decisión del gobierno de Donald Trump ha supuesto el recorte de decenas de millones de dólares para instituciones en Puerto Rico. Washington D.C. - Diecisiete demócratas de la Cámara de Representantes exhortaron este miércoles al Departamento de Justicia de Estados Unidos a que revierta su decisión de no defender las subvenciones para instituciones universitarias con alta matrícula de estudiantes latinos, lo que recorta decenas de millones de dólares en asignaciones para universidades de Puerto Rico.
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).

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) had declined to swear in the Arizona Democrat while he kept the House out of session during the 43-day government shutdown, which ended that evening.
“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.
