Ritchie Torres, a U.S. Congressman representing New York’s 15th district since 2021, recently shared updates on social media regarding community engagement and policy issues. Born in The Bronx in 1988, Torres continues to be an active voice for his constituents.
On May 5, 2025, Torres tweeted about the enjoyment his team experienced at the “4th Annual Gjergj Kastrioti Skenderbeu Street Fair.” “Team Torres had a great time this weekend at the 4th Annual Gjergj Kastrioti Skenderbeu Street Fair!”
Later that day, he reminded U.S. travelers of an important upcoming deadline: “Real ID Deadline is almost here! On May 7, U.S. travelers MUST be REAL ID compliant to board domestic flights.” He provided resources for checking compliance and offered assistance from his office.
On May 7, 2025, Torres announced leading a congressional initiative with Rep. Espaillat and other House Democrats: “Yesterday, @RepEspaillat & I led 37 House Dems in a letter to the @DHSgov IG requesting an immediate investigation into ICE facilities in Louisiana.” This action underscores their concern over due process and human dignity within these facilities.
