Spanish-language PHP-Reviews, Week 19:

This is the nineteenth installment of our Spanish Public Health Policy Reviews Weekly Digital Media Newsletter.

NOTE: The English translation of our nineteenth Spanish-language Public Health Policy Reviews weekly video newsletter:

Hello, and welcome to the nineteenth edition of our Spanish language weekly digital newsletter on Public Health Policy Reviews.

The week of June 16th to 20th concluded with our coverage of the large national participation in the long-anticipated No Kings protests held across the country on Saturday, June 14th, 2025.

The “No Kings” protest, now recognized as the largest single-day protest in United States history, was organized by the national activist group Indivisible.

We also discussed the tragic political assassinations of Minnesota State House Democratic Leader Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark Hortman, as well as the failed assassination attempts against State Senator John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette Hoffman, on June 14th, just before the national “No Kings” protests.

Friday’s essay addressed the political weakness and muddled media messaging from Congressional Democrats and the Democratic National Committee (DNC) as their caucus members across the country increasingly face terrorist violence, arrests from federal officials, and verbal threats from far-right-wing and conservative politicians, bureaucrats, and individuals.

The core question of Friday’s article post was whether the United States can endure 1,460 days of complete weakness from Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, and the DNC as Trump and his political allies dismantle various federal bureaucratic sectors, from healthcare to environmental and national emergency management standards.

That is before we start addressing the significant, ongoing constitutional and civil rights concerns involved in the Trump administration’s extensive raids targeting both illegal and legal immigrants, asylum seekers, and international exchange students from Mexico, South America, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia.

In a rare bit of great legal news, Mahmoud Khalil, a Columbia graduate student arrested and detained for 104 days in a Louisiana immigration detention center by the Trump administration back on March 8th, 2025, has been released on bail.

The release of Mr. Khalil, along with several other detained immigrant college students, and Kilmar Armando Ábrego García’s return to America from El Salvador in June suggest that the rule of law may still help safeguard the rights of migrants in the US, regardless of their legal status.

On Sunday, June 22nd, a federal judge in Tennessee ordered government officials to release Abrego Garcia.

However, US prosecutors said the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency will once again take Abrego Garcia into custody when he is released and re-deport him, before he has a chance to stand trial.
