Diversity and Inclusion

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.

“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.

Hispanic Democrats are pushing their party to be more aggressive in boosting Latino candidates to beat back President Donald Trump’s gains in 2024 — and set the party up for two big election triumphs.

Tuesday’s election results signal a possible return of Hispanic voter support to the Democratic Party, as blue candidates swept gubernatorial elections in Virginia and New Jersey — in part thanks to strong Hispanic turnout.

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)
