Adriano Espaillat, a U.S. Congressman representing New York's 13th district, expressed his concerns through a series of tweets regarding recent actions by the Trump Administration. These tweets highlight his opposition to what he perceives as harmful policies targeting vulnerable communities.
On January 28, 2025, Espaillat criticized the Trump Administration's latest measures, stating that "This, following the Trump Administration’s most recent attack on families, minority communities, students, and seniors is not only flagrantly illegal but is inherently rooted in racism and a contempt for our nation’s most underprivileged communities."
Later that day, he voiced his deep concern over a memorandum issued by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), which ordered federal agencies to freeze funding for vital programs. He tweeted at 20:24:50 UTC: "Estoy profundamente preocupado por el memorando de la Administración Trump emitido anoche por la Oficina de Administración y Presupuesto (OMB) que ordena a las agencias federales congelar casi toda la asistencia y financiación federal para programas vitales."
In another tweet posted at 20:34:10 UTC on the same day, Espaillat reiterated his stance against these actions by stating: "Esto, después del ataque más reciente de la Administración Trump contra familias, comunidades minoritarias, estudiantes y personas mayores, no solo es flagrantemente ilegal, sino que está inherentemente arraigado en el racismo y el desprecio por las comunidades más desfavorecidas."
