Sept 20, 2017 – Hurricane Maria devastated Puerto Rico. Homes destroyed. Power lost. 4,645 lives taken. Thousands displaced. The @hispaniccaucus.bsky.social remembers the lives lost, honors the survivors, and stands with Puerto Rico. 🇵🇷✊🏽

Happy Birthday, U.S. Air Force! For 78 years, our nation’s brave servicemembers have secured our airways and protected our freedoms. Today and every day, we thank them for their service.

We are immensely proud of our colleagues recognized in this year's @thehill staffers who make Capitol Hill run.

En este Mes de la Herencia Hispana es especialmente importante celebrar el poder que emana de la diversidad. Los latinos en los Estados Unidos somos la personificación de ‘e pluribus unum’ – de muchos, uno.

This Hispanic Heritage Month, it is especially important to celebrate the power that comes from diversity. U.S. Latinos are the embodiment of ‘e pluribus unum’ – out of many, one.

The aftermath of the terrorist attacks on 9/11 showed the true meaning of e pluribus unum. American heroes were forged, regardless of their race, color, creed, or national origin. Today, we remember the victims of that day and the promise of the United States of America.

The judge ruled in Xóchitl’s favor and dismissed her deportation proceedings. A huge victory, but Xóchitl is not home yet, and many other DACA recipients are still wrongfully detained. ICE must release her and all DACA recipients! #FreeXochitl #QuietlyKillingDACA

The administration is #QuietlyKillingDACA. ICE and CBP unlawfully detain immigrant youth—including valid DACA recipients like Xóchitl and Paulo. We demand accountability. #HomeIsHere

The Trump administration is QUIETLY KILLING DACA. Immigrant youth are our teachers, neighbors, farmworkers, and parents. They contribute billions to our economy. We will not stay silent as this administration dismantles DACA. #ProtectDACA

The Congressional Hispanic Caucus and partners are launching "Learning Without Fear," a campaign to combat drops in school registration and attendance caused by fear of irresponsible federal immigration enforcement. Our children's education is our future. We will defend them.

The Trump administration is trying to pull the rug from under Hispanic Serving Institutions. If they succeed, college will get more expensive for 5.6 million students of all backgrounds. This is an attack against our collective future.

Over the weekend, Chair @repespaillat.bsky.social joined the Reencuentro Taíno Conference on #IndigenousPeoplesDay to honor the living legacy of the Taíno & Indigenous peoples worldwide. Their language, culture & history live on in our words, traditions & fight for justice. Pa’lante siempre.

🧵 This morning, Chair @repespaillat.bsky.social @velazquez.house.gov and @danielsgoldman.dg4ny.co were denied entry to MDC Brooklyn—a federal jail now detaining over 100 immigrants under a secretive ICE–BOP agreement. This is a disgrace. We’re sounding the alarm.

Chairman @repespaillat.bsky.social is proud to stand with Texas Latinos as they fight back against a blatant power grab. This mid-decade redistricting is a direct attack on our voting power, pero no nos quedamos callados. ✊🏽

Today we celebrate the future changemakers. Our CHC summer interns brought purpose, passion, and persistence to every task. Thank you for your dedication! You are the next generation of leaders our communities need.

HISTORIC MOVE: CHC Members are suing DHS—the first-ever lawsuit from Members of Congress against the Trump administration this Congress. Why? Because obstruction of oversight, mass detention, and abuse of power cannot go unchecked.

OUTRAGEOUS. Dreamers deserve dignity, stability, and a path to citizenship—not betrayal. #StandWithDreamers #DefendDACA www.npr.org/2025/07/29/n...

They promised the golden age. They gave us racist Bounty hunters. Great job. Reprehensible. t.co/DmrT7IxL5o

Congratulations to @robertgarcia.bsky.social, the new House Oversight ranking member!

Tu Caucus | Episode 3: Welcome to the Jungle Out now, with @repespaillat.bsky.social feat. @repemilyrandall.bsky.social

Today the CHC met with the Mexican delegation, who expressed grave concerns over the GOP’s proposed 5% immigrant remittance tax — a dangerous policy shift that threatens migration, security, and commerce. We stand in strong opposition.

Episode 2 of Tu Caucus, "The Judge," is now out! Watch on the Congressional Hispanic Caucus YouTube channel, with special guest @sylviagarcia.house.gov

⚠️ Watch what happens today: Energy & Commerce Republicans want to punish states for providing health care to immigrant children and bans Medicare access for legal immigrants, including survivors of trafficking and asylum seekers. This isn’t budget policy—it’s cruelty.

📢 Happening TODAY: House Agriculture Committee Republicans will strip food assistance from lawfully present immigrants—including refugees, trafficking survivors, and domestic violence survivors. If they pay taxes and live here legally, why are we denying them food?

In today’s Ways & Means Committee markup, Republicans are trying to strip health care from millions of lawfully present immigrants. This is a cruel and targeted attack on immigrant communities.

ICE just arrested Newark Mayor Ras Baraka for trying to do his job and standing up for immigrant rights. He must be released immediately. This agency is out of control.

Esto no es aplicación de la ley -- es separación familiar 2.0. El mismo trauma con otra cara. Cada niño, sin importar su estatus, merece seguridad y estabilidad -- no una deportación forzada. No podemos permitir que este sistema de crueldad continúe.

A Trump appointed judge ruled what we all knew to be true: The Trump administration illegally used the Alien Enemies Act to deport people without due process.

More than 100 House Democrats joined the CHC in standing against Trump's efforts to illegally turn the IRS into immigration enforcement agents. The privacy of taxpayer data is sacred, and Members of Congress demonstrated they will not stand idly by.

Whether Kilmar Abrego García or Merwil Gutiérrez, ICE’s attacks on due process are threats to all of our fundamental rights. — Ya sea Kilmar Abrego García o Merwil Gutiérrez, los ataques del ICE al debido proceso constituyen amenazas a todos nuestros derechos fundamentales.

The Congressional Hispanic Caucus joins in mourning Pope Francis, whose message of hope for all will endure.

Kilmar has been completely cut off from his family for 35 days. What would you do if the government disappeared your family member?

I’m proud to have joined my Hispanic Caucus colleagues in sending this letter. We must stop the Trump admin from weaponizing taxpayer data to enact his mass deportation agenda and violate our public trust!

Kilmar should be home with his family and today's court decision urging the administration to facilitate his return home is a step forward to reunite him with his loved ones. npr.org/2025/04/10/n...

Today, republicans approved a budget blueprint that will provide tax breaks for billionaires and cuts to school lunches, health care, and veterans. Disgraceful.

Jennifer, the @hispaniccaucus.bsky.social stands with you. We demand that the Trump administration correct this wrong and bring Kilmar home ✊🏽 #kilmarabregogarcia

The @hispaniccaucus.bsky.social is sounding the alarm: U.S Treasury and the IRS must reject any effort to share ITIN data with ICE. Weaponizing tax records for deportation isn’t just wrong — it’s illegal. Trust in our tax system depends on privacy. Full letter attached.

Tu Caucus is now live! The official CHC podcast is a fresh new take on engagement for the 119th Congress. In Episode 1, "Three Amigos," @RepEspaillat talks shop -- and more - with @RepChuyGarcia and @RepLouCorrea.

Tu Caucus | Official Trailer 🍿

Strengthening partnerships across the Western Hemisphere is essential for economic growth and stability. The @hispaniccaucus.bsky.social kicked off its Latin American-Caribbean Ambassador Dinner Series to foster collaboration and opportunity for communities across the Americas. More to come!

CA thrives when everyone has a fair shot at success—regardless of gender identity. Had a great chat with my friend @labamby and the @translatinacoalition about their work defending LGBTQ+ rights. As an ally, I'm working to ensure equal opportunities for all in our community.

@hispaniccaucus.bsky.social condemns the attempt to dismantle the Department of Education. It was established to break down barriers and ensure every student—especially those in marginalized communities—has a fair shot at success. Abolishing it isn’t just reckless; it requires an act of Congress!

🚨 The @hispaniccaucus.bsky.social & CAPAC condemn the executive order to eliminate the U.S. Minority Business Development Agency. This agency helps minority businesses secure billions in capital & contracts, creating thousands of jobs. Shutting it down is an economic & equity disaster!

This xenophobic rhetoric from Trump Republicans proves that you can follow the law, get your papers, become a citizen, get elected to Congress -- swear multiple oaths to protect and defend the Constitution -- and all you will ever be to Trump Republicans: an "illegal immigrant."

The Congressional Hispanic Caucus has solutions for immigration. From legal immigration to workforce development to border security, it's a complicated set of issues and we have working, tested proposals for all of them. President Trump brought a tacky punchline to a policy fight.

It took them a month to show their true colors. House Republicans just voted to raise your taxes, cut your healthcare and your kids' education, and superfund stormtroopers to raid our neighborhoods.

House Republicans just tried a cheap parlor trick -- they pretended the House was done for the night and waited for Democrats to start leaving before calling members back for a vote on their GOP Budget Betrayal. These guys will try anything to gut your services and line their friends' pockets.
