Adriano Espaillat, a member of the U.S. Congress representing New York’s 13th district since 2017, recently shared his thoughts on social media about the importance of defending the U.S. Constitution and remembering fallen officers. Born in Santiago, Dominican Republic, Espaillat has been active in politics for decades, having previously served in both the New York State Assembly and Senate.

On January 21, 2025, Espaillat tweeted: "It’s on us to defend the U.S. Constitution and fundamental values of our nation." This statement underscores his commitment to upholding constitutional principles.

In another tweet posted on the same day at 17:13 UTC, he reiterated this message in Spanish: "Nos corresponde a nosotros defender la Constitución de los EE. UU. y los valores fundamentales de nuestra nación."

Later that day at 21:15 UTC, Espaillat expressed solidarity with families of two NYPD officers who had passed away. He wrote: "Today we pause to reflect on the lives of NYPD Officer Jason Rivera and Officer Wilbert Mora and join in solidarity in support of their two families and our community. May the memories of their bravery, sacrifice, and dedication to serving our community never be forgotten."
