I ask you, what more does it take to make the will of my people be Heard?

Congress must immediately end its inherently colonial territorial rule over Puerto Rico, because it violates America's values of democracy, equal justice under the law, and government by the consent of the governed.

We have an opportunity to rectify Puerto Rico's long-standing colonial status which has resulted in its people being treated as second-class citizens.

I denounced on the House floor the homophobic and transphobic slurs and policies of Thomas Rivera Schatz.

To pretend to continue a fruitless and pointless discussion by including independence or free association in a self-determination process, is a mockery of the democratic vote of Puerto Ricans.

If you really believe in democracy, justice, government by the consent of the governed, you must not hesitate any further or give any more excuses.

While they are quick to report that statehood won the November 2020 referendum with 52% of the vote, they routinely omit that a mere 55% of the Puerto Rican electorate took part.

To turn around and tell voters to go back to the drawing board and re-define multiple other options which the majority has rejected three times in the last eight years in favor of statehood, would not only be insulting to us, but…

What got me into politics was the fight for the independence of Puerto Rico.

The US citizens of Puerto Rico public must be heard!

Puerto Rico is a nation, a colonized nation.

The Puerto Rico Self-Determination Act of 2021 represents the only genuine democratic legislation about Puerto Rico's status before the 117th Congress.

serious questions regarding whether Amazon should be selling its technology to law enforcement at this time.

I am taking full responsibility, making sure that we, by the end of the year, have--we are implementing the systems that we can adequately be able to report what activity collectively.

I am stating here publicly that it is under my watch now, it is my responsibility, and, moving forward, it is a priority.

They want to impeach you and indict you and get rid of you. They want to undermine this investigation.

$25 billion as ransom for Dreamers, with cuts to legal immigration and increases to deportations doesn't pass the laugh test. It would be far cheaper to erect a 50-foot concrete statue of a middle finger and point it towards Latin America…
