Diversity and Inclusion

A month after her special election, Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva, D-Tucson, was still waiting to be sworn in as of Oct. 22, 2025, when this photo was taken. But a plaque with her name had already been installed outside her office, the one used by her late father, Raúl Grijalva, who died in March in his 12th term. The sign reads "Every American deserves representation. Swear in Adelita Grijalva now." (Photo by Nick Karmia/Cronkite News) 

Grijalva appears with Arizona’s senators and other allies at the Capitol to condemn the ongoing delay. “Is it because she’s a Democratic Latina?” said a leader of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus.

Members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus on Friday sent a letter to the heads of Google, TelevisaUnivision and Telemundo urging all parties to reach distribution agreements to avoid risking a Spanish-language blackout on YouTube TV, according to a copy of the letter obtained by Axios.

Why it matters: YouTube TV is one of the largest pay-TV providers in the U.S., with more than 8 million customers.

Washington, DC, United States, September 29, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The United States Hispanic Business Council (USHBC) applauds the Congressional Hispanic Caucus (CHC) for its leadership in addressing the ongoing carriage negotiations between Google/YouTube, TelevisaUnivision, and NBCUniversal Telemundo. 

Washington, D.C. – The CHC submitted a formal letter urging an immediate investigation into the impacts of the Supreme Court’s decision in Noem v. Vasquez Perdomo on Latinos. The high court’s ruling allows federal agents to continue their practice of warrantless stops and detention of individuals simply based on factors like apparent ethnicity, language, or occupation. 

Recently, leaders from the U.S. House received a letter which had been announced by chairs of four congressional groups (the New Democrat Coalition Housing Task Force, the Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus, the Congressional Black Caucus, and the Congressional Hispanic Caucus) urging House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) and Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) to preserve funding for several federal housing anti-discrimination programs while the FY 2026 appropriations process remains ongoing. 

If she wins, the Democrat would succeed her father, late Rep. Raúl Grijalva, amid concerns over reproductive and immigrant rights. Tucson, Arizona — On a recent Saturday morning at Adelita Grijalva’s campaign headquarters, the mood was festive. Music blasted from speakers as volunteers — most of them clad in navy blue “All in for Adelita” shirts— ate treats from a local Mexican bakery in the parking lot and waited for their marching orders.

26 de sus miembros firmaron una carta pública en la que señalan que la decisión viola la Cuarta Enmienda de la Constitución. 

Nueva York – Con una referencia directa al “inequívoco” mensaje de la jueza del Tribunal Supremo de Estados Unidos, Sonia Sotomayor, miembros del Caucus Hispano del Congreso (CHC) rechazaron la decisión de la mayoría en ese foro que le permite a las autoridades migratorias federales proceder contra personas con base en el perfil racial.
