Congressional Hispanic Caucus

The 44-Member Congressional Hispanic Caucus advocates for issues important to Hispanics via the legislative process in Congress.

[Rep. Adelita Grijalva @Rep_Grijalva]

Has Trump learned NOTHING from the midterms?

Voters — especially Latinos — just delivered a resounding rejection of his cruel, anti-immigrant agenda.

His response? Appoint Stephen Miller, the architect of that very agenda, as Chief of Staff.

Trump isn’t listening. He’s doubling down.

[Senator Cortez Masto @SenCortezMasto]

Stephen Miller is the chief architect of Trump's racist, cruel, and un-American campaign of terror across our country. Innocent people have died and families have been torn apart because of the policies he's eagerly pushed.

Miller should be under investigation, not running the White House.

[Rep. Norma Torres @NormaJTorres]

Stephen Miller is the architect of Donald Trump’s mass deportation agenda. Miller is responsible for policies that terrorize our communities, rip families apart, and violate people's basic rights.

The voters were clear on Tuesday: they oppose Donald Trump’s extremist agenda. Stephen Miller should be out of this administration, not rewarded for the cruelty he has inflicted on this country.

[Senator Alex Padilla @SenAlexPadilla]

Donald Trump is doubling down on his extremism.

We're doubling down on accountability.

SEE YOU UNDER OATH.

[Congressional Hispanic Caucus @HispanicCaucus]

"Just a few days ago, the American people resoundingly rejected mass deportations, the targeting of Latino communities, and President Trump's politics of hate.
To elevate the architect of those policies as White House chief of staff is a desperate and irresponsible cry for attention.
This administration is already stained through and through with Stephen Miller's cruelty. To give him a fancier title is just putting lipstick on a pig.
Democrats were ready to expose Stephen Miller when he was hiding in the shadows and we are more than ready to expose Stephen Miller from his ill-deserved perch.
Buckle up and lawyer up."

[Congressional Hispanic Caucus @HispanicCaucus]

Rep. Nydia Velázquez (NY-07), Congressional Hispanic Caucus Chair Rep. Adriano Espaillat (NY-13) and Resident Commissioner Pablo José Hernández (PR) are holding a joint press conference in San Juan to demand an end to the recent surge in aggressive federal immigration enforcement across the island.
We demand transparency and oversight in all immigration enforcement actions, and an end to enforcement that relies on accent, appearance, or nationality.

LAWYER UP.

My heart breaks for the family of 15 year old Javits Frimpong, who died from gun violence Thursday. Another innocent life taken senselessly and another family devastated by the tragedy of gun violence. Enough is enough, and families deserve solutions.

Today we honor the life of the late Dolores Huerta. She was a legendary labor leader and activist, the founder of the United Farm Workers, and a powerful icon for generations of American women.

Her fight for worker dignity, fair wages, safe working conditions, and gender equality shaped the labor movement for generations to come, and California will always be grateful.

Rest in peace, Dolores.

[Joaquin Castro @JoaquinCastrotx]

Dolores Huerta was a trailblazing civil rights leader who fought for the dignity of farm workers and migrant laborers. Organizing walkouts, boycotts, and nonviolent protests, she transformed the U.S. labor movement and improved countless lives.

We must honor her legacy, continue her work, and remember what she told us: Sí se puede. May she rest in eternal peace.

[Congressman Greg Casar @RepCasar]

I’m heartbroken. For decades, Dolores Huerta fought to make the world a better place for workers, women, and immigrants.

At 95 years old, Dolores would get on a red-eye flight on a moment’s notice to make it for a protest at the Capitol, or a meeting with brave Texas workers. She was inspiring us until the very end.

Que en paz descanse, Dolores.

[Senator Cortez Masto @SenCortezMasto]

Saddened to hear the news about Dolores Huerta. There are no words to fully capture Dolores’ life and legacy. She was an incredible leader, a fighter for our Latino community and workers everywhere, and an icon whose courage inspired so many to follow in her footsteps. She certainly inspired me and took time out of her busy schedule to help me.

I am grateful to have known her, and I will miss her dearly.

To her family, my deepest condolences go out to you today. I’ll be keeping you and everyone who knew and loved Dolores in my prayers.

Que descanse en paz, Dolores.

[Congressional Hispanic Caucus @HispanicCaucus]

Dolores Huerta defied definition. A national and international icon, her legacy is woven into the fabric of our history. Her fight for justice will continue to inspire generations. Rest in power, hermana.

[Rep. Norma Torres @NormaJTorres]

Reports of increased ICE activity near Ontario schools are causing fear in our communities. Families are notifying the school district that they plan to pull their children out of class for the rest of the year because they are afraid.

No parent should have to worry about their child’s safety when sending them to school. Every child deserves an education, and no family should have to choose between their child’s future and their family’s safety.

ICE’s actions are creating fear that is keeping children out of the classroom. That is not public safety. Parents should not have to choose between protecting their families and making sure their children get an education. Our children deserve better, and I will keep demanding accountability for the harm these enforcement tactics are causing in our communities.

[Mike Levin @MikeLevin]

The new Vanity Fair story on Jared Kushner is extraordinary.

According to Matthew Cole's upcoming book, foreign intelligence officials watched Kushner access a Dubai bank account holding hundreds of millions of dollars tied to Gulf governments while he served as Trump’s senior advisor. Money from that account went to a warlord, a mercenary and a former hit man.

We don't yet know what's true here. If foreign governments were quietly funding a senior official, Congress and the public need to know. If the allegations are false, a transparent investigation should clear the air.

The founders worried about this very thing and wrote the Emoluments Clause because they feared foreign powers would try to buy influence.

Congress must investigate fully and hold anyone who broke the law accountable.

Our foreign policy must never be for sale.

[Rep. Rob Menendez @RepMenendez]

This is voter intimidation.

Under the Trump Administration, people are afraid to go to work, send their children to school, travel—and now, exercise their most fundamental democratic right: voting.

Make no mistake: this was never about election security or targeting the “worst of the worst.” It has always been about fear and control.

No one should be afraid to cast a ballot.
