Media Advisory: Representative Adriano Espaillat Leads CHC Press Conference on Deportations of U.S. Citizen Children

WASHINGTON, DC — Tomorrow, Rep. Adriano Espaillat (NY-13), Chair of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus (CHC) will hold a press conference at the U.S. Capitol to address the deportations of U.S. citizen children to Honduras, attacks on due process, and detainee abuse. 

The Trump administration is doubling down its cruel attacks on immigrant families, forcing mothers into impossible choices about their children's well-being. It's a continuation of Trump's 2018 family separations and this president's zeal to exploit the suffering of families and children for political gain.
