Adriano Espaillat, currently serving as the U.S. Representative for New York’s 13th district, has recently shared a series of updates on social media regarding immigration policy and constituent services. Espaillat, who has held his congressional seat since 2017 after succeeding Charles Rangel, addressed both national issues and local assistance provided by his office.
On July 13, 2025, Espaillat commented on public opinion regarding immigration in the United States and criticized the actions of the Trump administration. He stated, “El apoyo a la inmigración entre los estadounidenses está en su punto más alto, mientras que la administración Trump está convirtiendo a ICE en una fuerza policial militar secreta. Es inaceptable, inadmisible y antiestadounidense, y los haremos rendir cuentas.”
Later that day, Espaillat highlighted the work of his constituent services team in assisting residents with federal matters. On July 13, 2025, he wrote in English: “Another success story with the help of my constituent services team. From help with visas to navigating federal agencies, my offices are available to help as needed. Visit online at https://t.co/BGKTHHSb9X for more information.”
In a subsequent post also dated July 13, 2025, Espaillat reiterated this message in Spanish: “Otra historia de éxito con la ayuda de mi equipo de servicios a los constituyentes. Desde ayuda con visas hasta gestiones en las agencias federales, mis oficinas están disponibles para ayudar según sea necesario. Visite https://t.co/BGKTHHSb9X para más información.”
Espaillat was born in Santiago, Dominican Republic in 1954 and has lived in Manhattan for several years. He previously served in both the New York State Assembly and Senate before being elected to Congress. Espaillat graduated from Queens College of the City University of New York in 1978 with a Bachelor of Arts degree.
