Every conversation with @RepRoKhanna teaches me something new, and I always walk away confident in his commitment to immigrant and Latino communities. He is a fighter for our democracy and a true ally, holding the line against the ongoing attacks on our communities. I look forward to continuing our work together toward a more fair and just society.

Our Vamos a Votar Latino Coalition had the opportunity to meet today with Vice President Harris in Las Vegas Nevada. What a pleasure it was to speak with a leader, who understands what Latino and immigrant families are going through in this moment. The vice president has always been a friend. Always an advocate for working people and minority communities. It certainly helps lift my spirits to know we can count on her friendship and support. Thank you, Madame Vice President.

According to the latest reports, Wilber tried to pull over. He was shot anyway. He is currently sitting in ICE detention with a bullet still lodged near his spine, without the medical care he needs.

Wilber Rafael Garces Perez came to this country from Venezuela through the CBP One process in 2024. His attorneys say he applied for asylum and received authorization to work. He missed an immigration court hearing after the notice was sent to the wrong address.

On Sunday, Wilber says federal immigration agents pursued him in unmarked vehicles while he was working as a DoorDash driver. He says he asked to pull over somewhere safer than underneath a freeway. Then he was shot.

His account deserves a full, independent investigation. So does the conduct of the federal agents involved.

And Congress has questions to answer about the enormous immigration enforcement operation it has funded and the safeguards, oversight and accountability governing that power.

Thank you to the Austin community for standing up and denouncing this abhorrent behavior. We stand with Wilber, his family and every community demanding answers, due process and accountability.

This midterm election - Pay attention. Know who represents you. Examine their record. Ask what they have done with the power entrusted to them. And if you are eligible, register and vote.

Accountability requires participation.

#TeamBoricua Allentown, PA! 🇵🇷
Power4PR spent last Sunday with such buena gente creating art together, through the facilitation of award-winning artist @quiltgirl61. We talked about the issues Boricuas in Allentown and beyond are concerned about locally and for Puerto Rico. And, of course, we enjoyed some comida criolla.

Thank you to Flor Vélez and so many others who made this engagement possible. More to come!

They are betting on fear to silence us. This November, our voices need to be louder than ever to say ¡basta ya!

🔥 The American Dream shouldn’t be a fairy tale.
For generations, the promise was simple: if you work hard, get an education, and play by the rules, you can build a stable life. You can buy a home, raise your kids, and retire with dignity. But right now in Texas, that dream is on life support. Texans deserve strong neighborhood public schools, fair wages, real labor protections, and a government that actually answers to everyday people. @ginafortexas
