CHC demands reunification of the Gámez-Cuéllar family.

Washington, D.C. — Congressional Hispanic Caucus (CHC) Chair Adriano Espaillat (NY-13) released the following statement on the Detention of the Gámez-Cuéllar Family:

“The detention of the Gámez-Cuéllar family is outrageous. This family followed the rules, showed up to their immigration appointment in good faith, and is now being torn apart by ICE, with their 18-year-old son separated from his parents and younger brothers.

The Congressional Hispanic Caucus is closely monitoring this case, and I will do everything in my power to ensure this family is reunited.”
