Small business owner and Nebraska 2nd congressional candidate, Denise Powell , is voicing her thoughts on keeping a fair election and values for working families. Powell made it clear that attempting to change the rules in the middle of the game is an attack on honesty and representation that Nebraskans hold dear. WATCH: Denise Powell on KMTV “This is truly changing the rules in the middle of the game, and I think Nebraskans, we really value honesty and integrity, and this feels like none of that,” Powell said on KMTV. “This feels like politicians serving the will of one person.” Trump and Republicans have created proposals that would redraw congressional boundaries for the Republican benefit. Powell is standing up to the Trump plan and is speaking for the Nebraskans. BOLD PAC is proud to have endorsed Denise Powell for Nebraska’s second congressional district. In a district we can flip, Denise is the fighter we need to build a Nebraska where working families thrive. ### CHC BOLD PAC, the campaign arm of the Hispanic Caucus, was founded in 2001 to increase Latino representation in Congress.

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."

PARA DISTRIBUCIÓN INMEDIATA: 3 de septiembre de 2025 Contacto: valeria@chcboldpac.com ICYMI: Vasquez defiende un plan equilibrado sobre la frontera y inmigración WASHINGTON, DC - Por si te lo perdiste, mientras Trump y los republicanos extremistas del MAGA intensifican sus esfuerzos para llevar a cabo un peligroso e inviable plan de deportaciones masivas, el Congresista Gabe Vasquez presenta un marco serio y orientado a las soluciones que pone la seguridad, la dignidad y la fortaleza económica en primer plano. El plan, que Vasquez creó en colaboración con la New Democrat Coalition, establece un enfoque moderno de la inmigración y la seguridad fronteriza que se adapta a la situación actual en Nuevo México y en todo el país. El plan incluye: Implementación de tecnología inteligente para modernizar los puertos de entrada y desmantelar las operaciones de los cárteles. La creación de vías legales que abordan la escasez de mano de obra, impulsan nuestra economía y fortalezcan la competitividad de los Estados Unidos. Exigir supervisión y rendición de deportaciones de Trump para garantizar que la detención de inmigrantes sea humana y legal. El marco también exige mayores recursos para combatir el tráfico ilegal y los delitos violentos, mientras protege a las familias y a los trabajadores del caos de la redada de deportaciones de Trump. Valeria Ojeda-Avitia, portavoz de BOLD PAC: “La agenda de deportaciones de Trump es injusta para el pueblo de Estados Unidos. Mientras los republicanos dan prioridad a las maniobras políticas, el Congresista Vasquez ofrece soluciones reales que reflejan los valores y las realidades vividas por las comunidades fronterizas. Él entiende que las familias merecen seguridad, protección y dignidad. Ese es el tipo de liderazgo que BOLD PAC se enorgullece en respaldar”. Este enfoque proactivo y sensato refleja lo que la gran mayoría de los latinos y estadounidenses están pidiendo: un liderazgo real y un plan equilibrado que proteja a las familias y mantenga nuestra economía en movimiento.
