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.
“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.
