Congressional Hispanic Caucus
@hispaniccaucus
The 43-Member Congressional Hispanic Caucus advocates for issues important to Hispanics via the legislative process in Congress.
Every life deserves equal justice. Whether your immigration status is documented or undocumented, the Constitution guarantees due process. Justice is decided in our courts—not by a masked ICE agent on the streets.

America’s story isn’t complete without Latino history. 🇺🇸 For centuries, Latinos have helped build, defend, innovate, serve, and strengthen our nation. As we celebrate #America250, let’s honor the full American story—and everyone who has shaped it. Every community has a story. Every story matters.
As we close out Caribbean American Heritage Month, we celebrate the generations of Caribbean Americans whose leadership, creativity, resilience, and service have helped shape our nation’s story. Their contributions continue to strengthen our communities and inspire future generations.
The Constitution won today. Birthright citizenship is not up for debate. The Tri-Caucus stands united against Trump’s attempts to rewrite who belongs in America. 🇺🇸 Today’s ruling is a reminder that no president is above the Constitution.
La Constitución prevaleció hoy. La ciudadanía por nacimiento no está en debate. El Tri-Caucus se mantiene unido frente a los intentos de Trump de reescribir quién pertenece a Estados Unidos. 🇺🇸 El fallo de hoy es un recordatorio de que ningún presidente está por encima de la Constitución.

Meet the OG Dreamer. Chair @repespaillat.bsky.social. Nine-year-old Adriano Espaillat arrived in Washington Heights from the Dominican Republic. When his family’s visa expired, he experienced firsthand the uncertainty of living undocumented. Some stories remind us what’s possible.

Thank you to Governor Gavin Newsom for joining this week’s CHC business meeting to discuss election security and immigration. With more than 16 million Latinos calling California home, these conversations matter deeply to the future of our communities, our democracy, and our country.
