Congressional Hispanic Caucus and Congressional Progressive Caucus Members Condemn the Trump Administration’s Abusive Immigration Overreach
Washington, D.C. — On Wednesday, the Congressional Hispanic Caucus (CHC) and the Congressional Progressive Caucus (CPC) hosted a Special Order Hour on the House floor to call attention to the Trump administration’s ongoing immigration overreach and emphasize the urgent need for accountability.
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). 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. 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.
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.
Grijalva told KJZZ she still hasn’t communicated directly with Speaker Mike Johnson about when he will swear her in.
“I’ve had no direct communication with Speaker Johnson,” she said in a text message.
