Today, the Senate is currently slated to take up the Laken Riley Act (H.R. 29/S.5), legislation that passed the House of Representatives earlier this week and could cause significant harm amongst immigrant communities and the U.S. economy by jeopardizing an entire workforce.
Hispanic Federation opposes the passage of this legislation which exploits a tragedy to implement a statute that would undermine constitutional rights to due process, jeopardizes federal authority on immigration, and imposes an unfunded mandate upon an already strained USCIS, all without addressing the underlying roots of violent crime.

It was an honor to have joined @GreenLatinos this week in El Yunque to discuss the importance of advocacy and communication with Congressional committees

I am humbled and honored to be confirmed as Ambassador to the Republic of Croatia. I'd like to express my sincere gratitude to the Biden Administration, to the U.S. Senate, and to Leader @SenSchumer for the trust bestowed on me through this vote.
As we implement the Inflation Reduction Act, Americans are seeing the Democratic agenda working for them:
—Wages outpacing inflation
—Capped insulin costs for people on Medicare
—New construction and manufacturing jobs
—At least 80 new clean energy manufacturing facilities
The Pregnant Workers Fairness Act goes into effect today!
The Senate passed this law because you should have the right to workplace accommodations if you're pregnant and working during your pregnancy.
It's one of the most significant improvements in worker protections in years!
From kvelling over our historic bill to fight climate change to schooling schmos like Mitch McConnell, fighting for New York is no schtick for me.
And sometimes, the best way to describe all the work we’ve done for New York is with a little bit of Yiddish.

With the Inflation Reduction Act, this Senate Democratic Majority has achieved what countless others have come to Washington promising to do.
Our bill reduces inflation, lowers costs, creates millions of good-paying jobs, and is the boldest climate package in U.S. history.
After years of many in Washington making promises, this Senate Democratic Majority will:
✅ Take on Big Pharma and lower Rx prices
✅ Tackle the climate crisis with urgency and vigor
✅ Ensure the wealthiest corporations and individuals pay their fair share
✅ Reduce the deficit
