The PNP Governor cooperates with ICE

At the start of her administration, Gov. Jenniffer González said Dominican and other immigrants would not have to worry about being targeted by ICE.

The PNP-controlled legislature attacks trans rights

Parents, doctors, therapists, social workers — now all face the threat of up to 15 years in prison, a $50,000 fine, and permanent loss of licenses.
