Original Article: USA TODAY 09/09/2025 The liberal justice called the order "unconscionably irreconcilable with our nation’s constitutional guarantees." Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor blasted the Trump administration’s operation of the Los Angeles immigration raids, vowing not to stand idly by while the United States' "constitutional freedoms are lost." On Sept. 8, the Supreme Court lifted a restraining order from a federal judge in LA who had restricted Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents from conducting stops without reasonable suspicion. In July, US District Judge Maame Frimpong of the Central District of California said the government can’t rely solely on the person’s race, the language they speak, the work they perform, and whether they’re at a particular location, such as a pickup site for day laborers. However, the Sept. 8 reversal by the Supreme Court's mostly conservative majority gave the Trump administration another victory, as Sotomayor condemned the vote. "That decision is yet another grave misuse of our emergency docket," Sotomayor wrote in a blistering, 21-page dissent on Sept. 8. "We should not have to live in a country where the Government can seize anyone who looks Latino, speaks Spanish, and appears to work a low-wage job." Sotomayor called the order "unconscionably irreconcilable with our nation’s constitutional guarantees." The justice, an Obama appointee, ripped her high court conservative colleagues and the government over the ruling. Sotomayor declared that all Latinos, whether they are U.S. citizens or not, "who work low-wage jobs are fair game to be seized at any time, taken away from work, and held until they provide proof of their legal status to the agents’ satisfaction."

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: August 15, 2025 Contact: press@chcboldpac.com CHC BOLD PAC Backs California’s Plan to Stop Trump’s Power Grab and Defend Democracy WASHINGTON, D.C. – CHC BOLD PAC, the campaign arm of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, today voiced strong support for California’s proposed ballot measure to protect fair representation and prevent Donald Trump from tilting congressional maps in his favor ahead of the 2026 elections. Donald Trump’s extreme policies are deeply unpopular, including the Big Billionaire Bill, and he knows it. That’s why he’s counting on a handful of Republican-controlled states to rig the system and lock in power. In states like Texas, Trump is already trying to rig the rules and silence voters to protect his grip on Washington. He knows Democrats will put a stop to his disastrous agenda if they regain control of the House next year. “Donald Trump’s agenda is deeply unpopular and he’s panicking,” said CHC BOLD PAC Chairwoman Linda Sánchez . “We’re not going to let Trump and Republicans silence voters and rig the rules to protect their power. California’s plan makes it clear that if Republicans try to cheat their way into control, we’ll fight back to protect our democracy and the voices of the people we serve. “Latino communities have fought too hard for their voices to be erased by political games in other states. BOLD PAC stands firmly in support of this plan to promote our community and fight back against this Trump-led power grab to ensure the midterm elections are fair.” Under the proposed ballot measure, if Texas and other Republican-held states change their district boundaries to elect more Republicans to Congress in next year’s elections, California will also adjust its boundaries to elect more Democrats, ensuring that Donald Trump cannot rig the system to keep himself in power. This plan preserves California’s independent redistricting process for the next regular redistricting cycle and affirms the state’s commitment to fair, nonpartisan maps nationwide. BOLD PAC will continue to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with leaders and communities defending democracy, in California, in battleground states, and across the country. ### CHC BOLD PAC , the campaign arm of the Hispanic Caucus, was founded in 2001 to increase Latino representation in Congress.

Original Article: Rolling Stone 08/08/2025 Three House members authored a resolution recognizing the health care program's anniversary. They all voted to take it away from thousands of their constituents Last month, Republicans passed a reconciliation bill that is expected to kick millions of Americans off of Medicaid and other forms of health insurance. The legislation includes over $800 million in cuts to Medicaid spending over the next 10 years, the largest in the program’s history. Now, as Republicans gear up for next year’s midterm elections, vulnerable lawmakers who supported the so-called “ Big Beautiful Bill ” are attempting to recast themselves as protectors of the health care program they sent to the wood chipper.

Original article: The Washington Post 08/01/2025 Democrats are arguing that a Republican plan for redrawing districts in Texas to create more winnable U.S. House seats for the GOP is an attack on Black and Hispanic voters AUSTIN, Texas — Democrats argued Friday that a Republican plan for redrawing districts in Texas to create more winnable U.S. House seats for the GOP is not only a power grab by President Donald Trump but also an attack on Black and Hispanic voters that violates the landmark federal Voting Rights Act. The plan’s Republican author acknowledged during a state House committee hearing that his proposed map is designed to help the GOP pick up five seats in Texas, something Trump is pushing to preserve the party’s now-slim House majority. The Texas House committee expected to vote on the plan by Saturday, allowing the full House to vote as early as Tuesday, before going to the Senate. Democrats have few options for thwarting the Republican plan during a 30-day special session called by GOP Gov. Greg Abbott, and calls for offsetting efforts in Democratic states intensified among Democrats outside Texas. Democratic legislators in Texas can walk out, go to another state and prevent either chamber from conducting but would face fines — and also block relief for victims of deadly flash flooding last month in the state’s Hill Country. Republicans disputed that their plan dilutes the power of Black and Hispanic voters to elect candidates of their choosing and said it could give them better representation by uniting some communities that previously have been split. But the new lines likely would make it harder for four Hispanic incumbents and two Black incumbents to retain their seats in 2026. The Texas delegation would go from a 25-13 split in the GOP’s favor to a 30-8 advantage. “I’ve never seen anything this brazen, this broken and this spineless,” said former Democratic U.S. Rep. Colin Allred, who’s running for the U.S. Senate. “If you do this, we’ll see you in court and at the ballot box.” Defending the map and partisan motivations Texas once was required by the 1965 Voting Rights Act to submit its redistricting plans to the federal government for review because of its past history of discrimination, but the U.S. Supreme Court declared in 2013 that the requirement was outdated and unconstitutional. The act requires states to have the number of districts in which minority voters can elect a candidate reflect their percentage of the population. The GOP plan creates five new districts without any incumbents, and sponsoring Republican state Rep. Todd Hunter noted that in four of them, at least half of the voting-age U.S. citizens are minorities, and there would be 10 Hispanic-majority districts, rather than the current nine. “It’s a good plan for Texas,” Hunter said. Hunter acknowledged that the lines were being redrawn “for partisan purposes,” which he said is allowed by the U.S. Supreme Court. He said a law firm was consulted as the map was being drawn. Other Republicans testified in favor of the plan for other reasons, many of them mayors or local party chairs. Melinda Preston, Denton County’s GOP chair, said the new maps will reflect the booming population in the state of 30 million. The redistricting push could move to other states Democrats argued that if Republicans succeed in redrawing the districts in Texas, Trump will push other states to redraw theirs before they’d normally do so, which would be in 2031 or 2032, after the next nationwide census. States are required to adjust the lines at least once every 10 years to keep the districts as equal in population as possible after population shifts. That’s led Democrats in California and New York to consider redrawing their states’ lines to help Democrats, though each state has an independent commission for drawing the lines. Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly, chair of the Democratic Governors Association, also said Democratic governors should retaliate, if they can. “We need to respond in kind, which I think we do to protect the American people,” Kelly said Friday at news conference during a DGA meeting in Madison, Wisconsin. “I hate the fact that we’re here, that we even have to consider something this drastic.” Why walking out is hard for Democrats Texas is unusual in requiring two-thirds of members to be present for the House or Senate to conduct business. That rule would allow Democrats, particularly in the House, where they hold 62 of 150 seats, to shut the chamber. But Democrats haven’t publicly promised to do that, though they’ve used the tactic in the past. House members now face a fine of $500 each day they’re absent, and the chamber’s rules prohibit lawmakers from tapping campaign funds to pay them. In addition, the chamber also couldn’t consider flood relief proposals — which Democrats have insisted should be the focus of the special session. Democratic state Rep. Rhetta Bowers accused Abbott and his fellow Republicans of holding that relief hostage so they could “slice up Black and Latino communities just to please Donald Trump.” “Let me be clear: We will not allow flood relief to be used as a bargaining chip for racially rigged maps,” Bowers said during a briefing for reporters and others. How the map could change the partisan balance Under the exiting lines, which were in place for the 2022 and 2024 elections, Republicans won all of their seats in districts carried by Trump by at least 10 percentage points. Democrats won all 11 districts carried by Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris, and Democratic Reps. Henry Cuellar and Vincente Gonzalez won reelection in districts that Trump won by less than 10 points. If the GOP’s proposed map had been in place in 2024, Harris would have won eight districts, and Trump would have won the other 30 by at least 10%. In San Antonio, Democratic Rep. Joaquin Castro would be drawn out of a safe blue district into one that Trump would have won by nearly 22 points. And in Houston, Democratic Rep. Al Green would live in a majority-Hispanic district — but 72% of the Black voters he now represents would not. He would go from being in a district that Harris carried by 44 percentage points to one Trump would have carried by 15 points — with a GOP incumbent. “This is not democracy,” Amanda McLaughlin, a North Texas resident, said. “Is it worth destroying Texas to give the president five more seats?”

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: July 30, 2025 Contact: valeria@chcboldpac.com BOLD PAC: Texas GOP’s Redistricting Push Suppresses the Latino Vote Republicans Would Rather Change Maps Than Face Voters WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, BOLD PAC, the political arm of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, issued the following statement in response to the newly proposed Texas congressional map that carves up Latino communities in Texas to protect Republicans and silence working families. “Republicans know the American people don’t support their agenda that steals from working families to give tax breaks to the ultra-wealthy and demonizes Latino communities,” said Chairwoman Linda Sánchez. “ Their solution? Change the maps so they don’t have to face the voters. The Texas GOP’s redistricting scheme is about one thing: silencing Latino communities so Republicans can escape accountability. It’s cynical, it’s cowardly, and it’s un-American. Latino voters will not be sidelined. BOLD PAC stands firmly against voter suppression and is doubling down on our commitment to ensure that our communities are seen, heard, and well represented in Congress.” The proposed map is effectively suppressing Latino voters in Texas, most egregiously suppressing Latino voters by merging Rep. Greg Casar’s TX-35 district with TX-37. At a time when the Trump Administration is pushing an anti-American agenda that puts Latinos in the United States at risk, we must stand up for Hispanic communities and their Latino Members of Congress who are being targeted. In South Texas, the new lines undercut Latino-majority districts that are central to the Democratic coalition. TX-34 (Rep. Vicente Gonzalez) and TX-28 (Rep. Henry Cuellar) are targeted for being border Democrats who won Trump districts. The map is a calculated move to protect far-right incumbents who supported tax handouts for billionaires while opposing relief for working families. Rather than earn support, Republicans are redrawing the rules to rig the outcome. ### CHC BOLD PAC, the campaign arm of the Hispanic Caucus, was founded in 2001 to increase Latino representation in Congress.

The poll, released July 20 by CBS/YouGov, found that immigration is the top issue that swayed respondents' opinion on the president. Sixty-one percent said immigration and deportation policies "mattered a lot," followed by inflation and the economy. Overall, the poll puts Trump's approval rating at 42%, with disapproval at 58%. The survey previously found Trump's approval rating was 45% in June and 47% in mid-April. In contrast, the second-term president's aggregate ratings from The New York Times and Real Clear Politics show a 44% and 45.5% approval, respectively, and a 53% and 52% disapproval. In the latest CBS poll, 56% disapproved of the president's immigration stances, while 44% approved. That's a 10-point drop from polling at the beginning of Trump's second term in February, the outlet reported. The poll specifically asked respondents about the administration's mass deportation efforts. Support for the removals has also dropped ten points since February, with a majority now opposed. Less than half − 49% − of respondents said they approved of the deportations in July, compared to 59% in February. "Approval of the deportation program has slipped over these months to become slightly net-negative now, with support becoming more exclusively drawn from Republicans and MAGA identifiers," CBS said after the results were released July 20. Support for Trump's immigration policies is split among party lines. Nearly all Republicans surveyed − 91% − say they approve of the president's deportation program. Among Democrats, 14% say they approve, while a majority – 86% – disapproved. Among independents, 59% were against the deportations and 41% were for them. The administration's use of detention facilities saw similar results in the July poll, with 58% opposed and 42% in favor of their use. Support was also one sided, with 85% of Republicans approving of the detention facilities, compared to 15% of Democrats. The poll was conducted between July 16-18 among 2,343 U.S. adult respondents. It has a margin of error of ±2.5 points. _______________________________________________________________ ### CHC BOLD PAC, the campaign arm of the Hispanic Caucus, was founded in 2001 to increase Latino representation in Congress.

The election results and what the campaign saw on the ground made it clear that Arizonans were looking for a change candidate, and Adelita Grijalva fit the bill given her respected track record in the district. BOLD PAC Spokesperson Valeria Ojeda-Avitia: “Voters turned out in higher numbers than anyone expected —her community showed up for her. While outsiders called Adelita a part of the establishment, they failed to understand the years of service Adelita and the Grijalvas have made in Arizona. Now, Adelita is on her way to become the first Latina to represent Arizona.” Read the full Post-Primary Takeaways from the Adelita Grijalva for Congress campaign: _____________________________________________________________ TO: Interested Parties FROM: Adelita for Congress Campaign DATE: Thursday, July 17 SUBJECT: AZ-07 Post-Primary Takeaways Members of the media interested in speaking with Adelita should email press@adelitaforcongress.com. _____________________________________________________________ Overview On Tuesday, Adelita Grijalva won a landslide victory, winning 62% of the vote in a five-way primary election. Adelita won decisively in a race that saw unusually high turnout for a special election. As of Thursday, 54,159 Democratic ballots have been counted (with more left to be counted) - putting this race on track to surpass the roughly 55,000 votes cast in the 2024 Democratic primary, which took place during a presidential election year. Unlike 2024, this was the only race on the ballot. Voters didn’t just show up - they made a deliberate choice to cast their vote for Adelita. Key Points Adelita’s support was districtwide and observed across demographics, especially among young people. Adelita earned a strong majority of support in all six counties across AZ-07. Her social media often featured the dozens of “Youth for Adelita” volunteers who showed up to volunteer on a political campaign for the first time. Some also penned local opinion pieces (read here and here). Adelita focused on the issues that the voters of AZ-07 are facing every day under the Trump administration. She focused on lowering costs and fighting corporate greed, protecting public education and social services like Medicaid, defending immigrant families, and fighting for climate and environmental justice. “All politics is local.” Adelita’s roots in the community and the relationships she’s forged over more than 20 years in public service is what earned her the levels of support she received on Election Day. It also earned her the support of Arizona leaders spanning from Senator Kelly, Senator Gallego, and former Congresswoman Giffords to tribal leaders, mayors, county supervisors, and city council members throughout the district. A grassroots campaign. Social media is of increasing importance but it does not replace grassroots organizing. In just 120 days, the Grijalva campaign mobilized 1,400 volunteers who knocked on 40,000 doors and made over 320,000 phone calls. That directly led to high levels of turnout. A progressive victory. Adelita ran on an unapologetically progressive agenda, embracing a people-centered message focused on taking on corporate greed, standing up for immigrants, and protecting our environment. Adelita is poised to make history as the first Latina Member of Congress from Arizona if successful in the General Election on September 23. Debunking the “establishment” myth The only thing “establishment” about Adelita is that she is established in the community. As she wrote in a recent op-ed, the words “Grijalva” and “establishment” never appeared in the same sentence until 2025 unless “fighting the” was inserted between. Congressman Raúl M. Grijalva was the longest serving chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus - frequently cast as an outsider from the Democratic Party. He was the first member of Congress to endorse Bernie Sanders when he ran for president in 2016. Voters know the Grijalva name not just because it’s familiar, but because it represents decades of fighting for Southern Arizona. Adelita earned voters’ trust by living those values every day for the past 20+ years serving her community. This race was also fundamentally different from the recent NYC mayoral primary election. While both races featured candidates with well-known last names, that’s where the similarities end. The Cuomo name stood for establishment politics and centrist views. The Grijalva name represents a progressive movement grounded in community and a decades-long fight for justice. Many of the same players in the coalition that backed Mamdani supported Adelita: Bernie Sanders, AOC, and the Working Families Party, as well as progressive organizations with deep roots in the community such as LUCHA and Rural Arizona Action. Like Mamdani, Grijalva had a massive ground game that allowed her to communicate directly with voters face-to-face. Focusing on the Issues Above all else, voters care about the issues, and Adelita won because of the values and policies she’s consistently fought for, serving her community, leading a juvenile diversion program, as a school board member, and as a Pima County Supervisor. In a border district that is suffering from Trump’s inhumane immigration policies, her lifelong record of standing with immigrant families clearly resonated. While Trump slashed resources for working people to fund tax cuts for the wealthy, Adelita has always championed public education, affordable healthcare, housing, and a strong social safety net. Like her dad, she’s also been a steadfast advocate for environmental justice - fighting pollution in working-class neighborhoods, standing up for tribal sovereignty, and demanding accountability for the health and safety of our communities. _____________________________________________________________ ### CHC BOLD PAC, the campaign arm of the Hispanic Caucus, was founded in 2001 to increase Latino representation in Congress.

Valeria Ojeda-Avitia, portavoz de BOLD PAC: “La participación superó todas las expectativas—su comunidad respondió con fuerza. Mientras grupos externos la llamaban parte del ‘establishment', ignoraban los años de servicio que Adelita y la familia Grijalva han dedicado a Arizona. Ahora, Adelita está en camino a hacer historia como la primera Latina en representar al estado.” Lee aquí el resumen completo post-primaria de la campaña de Adelita Grijalva para el Congreso: _____________________________________________________________ PARA: Partes interesadas DE: Adelita for Congress Campaign FECHA: Jueves, 17 de julio ASUNTO: AZ-07 Post-Primary Takeaways Los miembros de la media interesados en hablar con Adelita deben enviar un correo electrónico a press@adelitaforcongress.com. _____________________________________________________________ Descripción General El martes, Adelita Grijalva obtuvo una gran victoria, ganando el 62% de los votos en la elección primaria entre cinco candidatos. Adelita ganó de manera decisiva en una elección que vio una excepcional alta participación para una elección especial. A partir del jueves, 54,159 votos demócratas se han contabilizado (con más para contar) - poniendo esta elección en camino de superar los aproximadamente 55,000 votos emitidos en la primaria demócrata de 2024, que tomó lugar durante un año de elecciones presidenciales. A diferencia de 2024, esta era la única elección en la boleta electoral. Los votantes no se presentaron sin más, sino que decidieron deliberadamente votar a favor de Adelita. Puntos clave El apoyo a Adelita se extendió por todo el distrito y se observó en todos los demográficos, especialmente entre los jóvenes. Adelita obtuvo una fuerte mayoría de apoyo en los seis condados de AZ-07. En sus redes sociales, un gran número de voluntarios de “ Jóvenes para Adelita ”, se presentaron en una campaña política por primera vez. Algunos también escribieron articulos de opinión locales (le aquí y aquí ). Adelita se enfocó en los problemas que los votantes de AZ-07 enfrentan todos los días bajo la administración de Trump. Ella se enfocó en reducir los costos y luchar contra la ambición corporativa, protegiendo la educación pública y los servicios sociales como Medicaid, defendiendo a las familias inmigrantes y luchando por la justicia del medio ambiente. “Toda la política es local.” Las raíces de Adelita en la comunidad y las relaciones que ha forjado durante más de 20 años en el servicio público es lo que le aseguro los niveles de apoyo que recibió el día de las elecciones. También le ganó el apoyo de los líderes de Arizona desde el Senador Kelly, el Senador Gallego, y la ex congresista Giffords a los líderes tribales, alcaldes, supervisores del condado, y miembros del consejo de la ciudad en todo el distrito. Una campaña de gran base. Las redes sociales son cada vez más importantes, pero no reemplazan a la organización de base. En solo 120 días, la campana de Grijalva movilizó a 1,400 voluntarios que visitaron 40,000 puertas e hicieron más de 320,000 llamadas telefónicas. Esto se reflejó directamente en un alto nivel de participación de votantes . Una victoria progresista. Adelita se postuló con una agenda progresista sin piedad, adoptando un mensaje centrado en la comunidad y enfocado en enfrentar la ambición corporativa, defender a las familias inmigrantes y proteger a nuestro medio ambiente. Adelita está a punto de hacer historia como la primera congresista latina de Arizona si gana las elecciones generales del 23 de septiembre. Desmontando el mito del “establecimiento” El único “establecimiento” de Adelita es que está establecida en la comunidad. Como escribió en un reciente artículo de opinión , las palabras “Grijalva” y “establecimiento” nunca aparecieron en la misma frase hasta 2025, al menos que se incluyera “luchando contra él” entre ellas. El congresista Raúl M. Grijalva fue el presidente más longevo del Caucus Progresista del Congreso, a quien frecuentemente se consideraba un forastero del Partido Demócrata. El fue el primer miembro del Congreso en apoyar a Bernie Sanders cuando se postuló a las elecciones presidenciales de 2016. Los votantes conocen el apellido Grijalva no solo porque les resulta familiar, sino porque representa décadas de lucha por el sur de Arizona. Adelita ganó la confianza de los votantes viviendo esos valores todos los días durante los últimos 20 años sirviendo a su comunidad. Esta elección también fue fundamentalmente diferente de las recientes elecciones primarias a la alcaldía de Nueva York. Mientras que en ambas elecciones había candidatos con apellidos conocidos, ahí acaban las similitudes.  El nombre Cumo representaba la política de establecimiento y las opiniones centristas. El nombre Grijalva representa un movimiento progresista basado en la comunidad y en décadas de lucha por la justicia. Muchos de los mismos miembros de la coalición que apoyaron a Mamdani apoyaron a Adelita: Bernie Sanders, AOC, y el Partido de las Familias Trabajadoras, tanto como organizaciones progresistas con profundas raíces en la comunidad como LUCHA y Rural Arizona Action. Al igual que Mamdani, Grijalva contó con un enorme apoyo que le permitió comunicarse directamente con los votantes cara a cara. Enfocándose en los temas Ante todo, a los votantes les importan los temas y Adelita ganó por sus valores y políticas por las que siempre ha luchado constantemente sirviendo a su comunidad - liderando el programa de desviación juvenil como miembro de la junta escolar y como Supervisor del Condado de Pima. En un distrito de frontera que está sufriendo las inhumanas políticas de inmigracion de Trump, su récord de apoyo a las familias inmigrantes resonó claramente. Mientras Trump acababa con los recursos para las familias trabajadoras para financiar recortes de impuestos para los multimillonarios, Adelita siempre ha defendido la educación pública, acceso a servicios de salud a bajo precio, viviendas, y una fuerte protección social. Tal como su papá, también ha sido una firme defensora de la justicia para el medio ambiente, luchando contra la contaminación en las comunidades trabajadores, y defendiendo la soberanía tribal y exigiendo la rendición de cuentas por la salud y seguridad de nuestras comunidades. _____________________________________________________________ ### CHC BOLD PAC , el brazo de campaña del Caucus Hispano del Congreso, fue fundado en 2001 para aumentar la representación latina en el Congreso.
