Story summary

On Wednesday, President Donald Trump hosted a celebration at the White House to mark Hispanic Heritage Month, which runs from September 15 to October 15 annually. The event aimed to honor hundreds of Hispanic Americans and business owners, reflecting an effort by the administration to solidify support among Hispanic voters ahead of the upcoming midterm elections. Notably, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who is Cuban-American, and Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, alongside his Latina wife Rachel Campos-Duffy, were set to attend the event according to a White House official. Despite this celebratory gesture, critics argue that it starkly contrasts with the Trump administration’s hard-line immigration policies, such as nationwide deportation efforts led by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), which have disproportionately affected the Hispanic community.
