Our community was built by immigrants seeking refuge from fear and repression. So when families from Venezuela, Nicaragua, Haiti, and Cuba were targeted, we expected our own representatives - Diaz-Balart, Giménez, and Salazar - to stand up.
Their silence speaks volumes.
Rep. Mario Díaz-Balart (R–FL 26)
Donald Trump is stripping 500,000 Cubans, Nicaraguans, Venezuelans, and Haitians of legal status: dismantling Radio Martí and canceling aid that supported democracy Abroad.
And Diaz-Balart remains silent.
Rep. Carlos A. Giménez (R–FL 28)
Trump is deporting thousands and cutting aid that once supported freedom in the
Americas. Miami deserves better.
Giménez says nothing.
Rep. María Elvira Salazar (R–FL 27)
María Elvira Salazar built her career speaking out for freedom. But now, as Trump targets immigrants and slashes aid to those fighting dictatorships.
Salazar looks the other way.
