<html><body><p>One of the hardest things in life is to convince a Colombian citizen that other Colombian people are doing well. We are reluctant to recognize the achievements of others; it could be a self-defense mechanism based on reasons no one knows.</p>
<p>However, in the case of Karol G, the most important Colombian singer, and artist, it is impossible to ignore her successful musical tour, which made her one of the greatest artists in Latin America’s history… or even the World.</p>
<p>Born in Medellin (Antioquia, Colombia) in 1991, in the middle of one of the most important democratic processes in recent decades for her country (the writing of a new constitution), Karol G finished in July a large and extensive musical tour, which included concerts not only in Latin America but the United States and Europe.</p>
<p>More than 2.2 million people, attended the “Mañana será bonito World Tour”, making it one of the most important shows in the 2023-2024 season. The tour included 62 concerts in several cities in Colombia, Mexico, Argentina, Chile, and United States cities like New York City, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and other countries like Switzerland, and Germany, among other places.</p><p><!-- /309686595/internal-section-body -->

<p>The country with the most significant audience was The USA with more than 750,000 spectators in 15 concerts in Las Vegas, San Francisco, Los Ángeles, Miami, Houston, San Antonio, Dallas, New York, Chicago, Atlanta, Orlando, and Boston.</p>
<p>Karol G called on 1.1 million people in Latin America during his shows at Azteca Stadium in Mexico City, El Campin Stadium in Bogota, and National Stadium in Chile, among other venues in Latin America.</p>
<p>In the region, the tour was completed with stops in Medellin, Monterrey, Guadalajara, Ciudad de Guatemala, San Salvador, San Jose de Costa Rica, Santo Domingo, Caracas, Lima, Buenos Aires, Asunción and Sao Paulo.</p><p></p><div data-embed-button="related_content"><h2>RELATED CONTENT</h2><div class="view view-related-content view-id-related_content view-display-id-block_1">

<p>There were 465,000 people in Europe because of her presentations in Switzerland, Germany, Netherlands, United Kingdom, France, Italy, Belgium, Portugal and Spain.</p>
<p>The cherry on top was her series of performances in Spain. During four consecutive concerts at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium in Madrid, she sold out the venue each time, and achieved a total of 270,000 attendees, making her the first female artist to do so.</p>
<p>As if that wasn't enough, more than a million people connected to the streaming of his latest show.</p>
<p>The artist worked her way to the top in the male-dominated reggaeton ecosystem until she emerged as a new star.</p>
<p>She became the most important Latin American artist of the latest time and succeeded thanks to her talent and force. We will know more about Karol G in the future: she is only 33 years old and still has a bigger and more successful career ahead of her. Long live the queen!</p>

<html><body><p><a href="https://nglmitu.com" title="NGLmitú opens sprawling new studio in the heart of East Los Angeles">NGLmitú</a>, the number one digital media and entertainment company for Latinos in the United States, continues its significant growth with the launch of mitúStudios, a 14,000 square foot creative space.</p>
<p>Serving as the main content production facility focused on the Latino population, culturally connecting advertisers, creators, and filmmakers of this community, NGLmitú has redoubled its investment in content, developing new seasons of its hit shows ‘<em>Chica, Déjame Decirte</em>' and '<em>3G’s</em>,’ as well as commissioning additional new shows.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2023/09/26/2749599/0/en/NGLmit%C3%BA-Opens-New-Sprawling-Studio-Space-mit%C3%BAStudios-in-the-Heart-of-East-Los-Angeles.html" title="NGLmitú opens sprawling new studio in the heart of East Los Angeles">Joe Bernard</a>, Chief Revenue Officer of NGLmitú, stated through a press release:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Year over year, demand for Latino voices and visions is skyrocketing, both from consumers and advertisers, and the debut of our studio is part of our continued commitment to be the leader in this space, as the #1 ranked outlet in America.</p>
</blockquote>
<h1>Unprecedented Facilities</h1>
<p>The new facility exemplifies the company's commitment to amplifying all generations, stories and Latino voices with a multipurpose focus on creativity, collaboration and community.</p>
<p>It also provides increased production capacity following the announcement of mitúTV in Apr. 2023, and serves as the production home for content funded by the <a href="https://www.mitu.tv" title="NGLmitú opens sprawling new studio in the heart of East Los Angeles">NGLmitú</a> brand with well-known and trusted names such as Stella Rosa®, Emergen-C, and others.</p>
<p>Located in Lincoln Heights, California, the studio offers 5 permanent and 3 semi-permanent sets, plus a full suite of production equipment and services.</p><p><!-- /309686595/internal-section-body -->

</script>
</div>
<p>“Now, we’re expanding the services we can provide to our advertising partners like Stella Rosa and Haleon, while also leveraging our capacity to create more content for consumers. NGLmitú’s combined power and market leadership is up by double digits this year and will continue to grow with the addition of this studio,” explained Bernard.</p>
<h1>Successful Shows</h1>
<p>Since its debut in May, ‘<em>Chica, déjame decirte</em>’ has had more than 6 million viewers and has featured guests, such as comedian Aida Rodríguez, Sasha Calle (The Flash), Julissa Calderón (Gentefied), Dulce Candy (Instagram), and Julissa Bermudez (BET).</p>
<p>'3G's' has experienced similar success, with over 11 million viewers since May, with episodes starring Frankie Quiñones (This Fool on Hulu), Oscar Miranda (TikTok), Clayton Thomas (Comedian), Elio Morillo (Space Engineer), Concrete (Rapper/Comedian), Marcella Arguello (Comedian), and Jade Catta-Preta (Hotties on Hulu).</p>
<p>“Our mission is to further propel mitú as the voice of current and future U.S. Latinos. These programs have resonated with audiences, and we’re excited to bring even more of them to our fans, along with new programming,” pointed out Vanessa Vigil, Chief Brand Officer at NGLmitú. </p>

<p>To meet this demand, NGLmitú leverages deep cultural insights to develop branded content that addresses the nuances of today's Latino consumer, one who lives at the intersection of being 100% American and 100% Latino.</p>
<p>“Having a creative studio in the heart of our community is the physical manifestation of our commitment to authentic representation and Latino storytelling. Our founder John Leguizamo has long been a champion for this community, and now we’re taking it to the next level with a studio by and for Latinos,” underscored Vigil. </p>
<p>With more than 2 decades of experience serving and redefining the U.S. Hispanic market, NGLmitú is among the top 20 media companies reaching Latinos through video.</p>
<p>The studio is a mecca of creativity, including original series for mitúTV, a 24-hour bilingual English-language channel aimed at filling a void in Hispanic television programming.</p>
<h1>News</h1>
<p>The now-opened mitúStudios serves as the home of NGLmitú's creative collaborations with a multitude of brands and creators. Some recent and soon-to-launch prominent examples include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Highlighting Stella Rosa® Wines as the ultimate summer drink, Hispanic Kitchen and FIERCE curated the "Summer Grill and Chill" campaign featuring original recipes made with the Hispanic Kitchen flare. The campaign included lifestyle content that emphasized the brand's diverse consumer and encouraged celebrating with Stella Rosa® Wines.</li>
<li>Partnering with Maffio and Leli Hernandez to create an original beat and song sampling new Emergen-C Crystals, which was brought to life via a stylized performance.</li>
</ul>
<p>In addition to hosting press conferences with esteemed Latino actors and musicians, such as Sasha Calle, Xolo Maridueña, Mariah Angelique and La Dame Blanche, the studio also hosts community and industry events like the FIERCE x Legalmiga Legal Workshop for small business owners, that helped educate Latina small business owners on how to navigate legal options and best practices.</p>
<p>Embracing its commitment to amplifying Latino storytelling and creativity, mitúStudios now invites Latino creators and filmmakers to collaborate in the dynamic space to help bring their ideas and stories to screens, particularly on mitúTV.</p>
<p>"This isn’t just about fostering new creators and outreach to Hollywood. This is about empowering the next generation of Latin voices, while also building stronger bridges to the established Hollywood community. Latino engagement cannot be seen as a ‘plus factor,’ but instead as an essential part of any content creation and promotional strategy. Latinos are not ‘another’ audience. They are the audience,” concluded Vigil.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20230927986120/en" title="$200,000 for vulnerable Pennsylvanians">Stephan Roker</a>, senior vice president of Community HealthChoices for AmeriHealth Caritas, said in a press release:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>We are committed to supporting Pennsylvanians with complex health care needs in innovative and efficient ways, with an overriding goal to promote independent living and participant satisfaction.</p>
</blockquote>
<h1>Benefits for Seniors</h1>
<p>The company, which with the allocation of these resources strengthens its commitment to long-term services and supports, granted the first of three investments to the community of older adults at risk, who will have access to legal assistance related to housing.</p>
<p>Through AmeriHealth Caritas' Community HealthChoices (CHC) health plans $200,000 were awarded to the SeniorLAW Center to fund this new initiative.</p><p><!-- /309686595/internal-section-body -->

</div>
<p>"For many older people, this assistance begins with understanding both their options and their legal rights related to housing, which this program will address,” added Roker. </p>
<p>Up to 750 participants, ages 60 and older, enrolled in AmeriHealth Caritas CHC health plans will have access to housing-related legal assistance focused on mitigating the risk of eviction and promoting continued independence through community-based living.</p>
<h1>Vulnerable Community</h1>
<p>AmeriHealth Caritas shared data from the U.S. Census Bureau's Household Pulse Survey, in which more than 1 in 5 older adults say they are “very likely” or “somewhat likely” to have to leave their home due to eviction in the next two months.</p><p></p><div data-embed-button="related_content"><h2>RELATED CONTENT</h2><div class="view view-related-content view-id-related_content view-display-id-block_1">

<html><body><p>Fannie Mae recently introduced new resources and programs that will provide Latino communities around the country with fair opportunities to access and purchase homes in a long-term, sustainable manner.</p>
<p><strong>Priscilla Almodovar, Fannie Mae CEO, said in a press release:</strong></p>
<blockquote>
<p>We want to help people access and stay in their homes for a long time. The down payment assistance and education we provide to learn the home buying process will help Latino communities achieve both goals.</p>
</blockquote>
<h1>New Tool in Spanish-language</h1>
<p>Following the launch of Homeview® by Fannie Mae in early 2022, which reached more than 340,000 consumers who completed the homebuyer course, the company introduces ‘<a href="https://www.fanniemae.com/education/es" title="Latinos in the U.S. now have a tool to acquire their own home">HomeView en Español</a>.’</p>
<p>This new digital platform, designed for Latino consumers, provides consumers with essential information 24 hours a day and seven days a week on financial education and access to purchasing their own home.</p>
<p>‘<em>HomeView en Español</em>’ contains a new credit education course with content designed to guide this group of consumers to establish and manage their credit effectively, a key component to accessing the traditional home buying process.</p><p><!-- /309686595/internal-section-body -->

<script>
googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1644009767547-0'); });
</script>
</div>
<p>According to Fannie Mae's Latino Housing Journey research, poor or insufficient credit history is a barrier disproportionately faced by Latino renters and first-time homebuyers.</p>
<p>“We will continue to work closely with the Latino community to create solutions and break down the barriers they face in the process of purchasing their own home. We are committed to fighting for a future in which everyone has fair access to sustainable housing,” added Almodovar.</p>
<p>This comprehensive course was designed for the Latino community, with the idea that they can go through each of the stages of successfully buying a home.</p>

<ul>
<li>Completely free to the public upon registration and easily accessible via desktop, mobile devices and tablets.</li>
<li>An interactive and educational course, which incorporates short quizzes and audio clips to help them learn and retain the content.</li>
<li>The information was adapted to address the main obstacles and challenges that Latino consumers face when establishing and maintaining their credit.</li>
</ul>
<p>“The obstacles that Latinos face in buying a home are great, but not insurmountable,” highlighted Almodovar.</p>
<h1>More Resources </h1>
<p>To address the initial costs of purchasing a home, another obstacle that disproportionately affects Latino renters and first-time buyers, Fannie Mae expanded access to its pilot program called the Special Purpose Credit Program (<a href="https://www.fanniemae.com/casa" title="Latinos in the U.S. now have a tool to acquire their own home">SPCP</a>).</p>
<p>This program provides down payment assistance to first-time buyers who meet certain requirements and live in majority-Latino communities located in <strong>Atlanta, Baltimore, Chicago, Detroit, Memphis and Philadelphia</strong>.</p>
<p>According to data from <a href="https://www.urban.org/urban-wire/number-hispanic-households-will-skyrocket-2040-how-can-housing-industry-support-their-needs" title="Latinos in the U.S. now have a tool to acquire their own home">The Urban Institute</a> shared by Fannie Mae, 70% of net new home buyers between 2020 and 2040 will be Hispanic/Latino.</p>
<p>The company stresses that this demographic group represents one of the fastest growing segments of potential buyers, but at the same time, they face various barriers in the process of purchasing a home.</p>
<p>Factors such as a lack of affordable homes, higher rates of credit crunch, and higher upfront costs when purchasing a property are some of the most common challenges faced most frequently.</p>
<h1>Innovative Programs</h1>
<p>Over the past 2 years, Fannie Mae has introduced several innovative programs designed to help Latinos, African Americans and other historically disadvantaged consumers achieve homeownership, including:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://multifamily.fanniemae.com/positive-rent-payment?_ga=2.170978788.510639371.1692634683-130264416.1663095537" title="Latinos in the U.S. now have a tool to acquire their own home">Positive Rental Payment History</a>: Shares a tenant's on-time rent payment information directly to credit bureaus, helping them establish and improve their credit scores.</li>
<li><a href="https://singlefamily.fanniemae.com/applications-technology/desktop-underwriter-desktop-originator/positive-rent-payments" title="Latinos in the U.S. now have a tool to acquire their own home">Prompt Rent Payment History (PRPH)</a>: Renters can also submit their on-time payment history and have it counted toward qualifying for a mortgage.</li>
<li><a href="https://singlefamily.fanniemae.com/applications-technology/desktop-underwriter-desktop-originator/no-credit-score-borrowers" title="Latinos in the U.S. now have a tool to acquire their own home">Desktop Underwriter (DU)</a>: Consumers without credit scores can now be considered within the mortgage underwriting process with innovations in Fannie Mae's automated underwriting system.</li>
</ul>
<p>“With innovative thinking and committed allies, it is possible to expand housing acquisition opportunities in a sustainable and responsible manner, both for the housing system and for potential buyers. These initiatives represent the next steps on that path,” concluded Almodovar.</p>

<h1>Key Findings</h1>
<p>LDC highlighted the following data in the presentation of the report:</p>
<ul>
<li>U.S. Latino GDP now valued at $3.2 trillion (14% YOY increase), growing 2.5x faster than non-Latino equivalent. </li>
<li>U.S. Latino purchasing power is measured at $3.4 trillion. </li>
<li>In 2021, Latino income in the U.S. amounted to $2.5 trillion and grew at a rate of 4.7% compared to 1.9% for non-Latinos. </li>
<li>Measured by GDP, the U.S. Latino economy would rank as the world’s fifth largest. </li>
<li>Its growth comes from its youth, its labor force participation, educational attainment, and income advance. </li>
</ul>
<p>“The New Mainstream Economy is a broad intersection of changes in technology, education, demographics, and macroeconomics. The Official 2023 LDC U.S. Latino GDP report is innovative because it matches what’s happening in our economy and gives companies a pathway for making future decisions,” added Trujillo. </p><p></p><div data-embed-button="related_content"><h2>RELATED CONTENT</h2><div class="view view-related-content view-id-related_content view-display-id-block_1">

<h1>Report News</h1>
<p>The official 2023 LDC U.S. Latino GDP report provides a breakdown of the Latino economy across all 50 states.</p>
<p>“For the first time, our report provides a breakdown by state and more information on rapidly emerging Latino markets. This not only prepares businesses to better understand their customer value, but it also provides useful data for policymakers, think tanks, and exporters to use for comparisons,” underscored Valdez.</p>
<p><strong>– This is how the Latino economy was highlighted by state:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>The California Latino economy alone would rank as the 21st largest in the world. </li>
<li>Texas is ranked second ($465 billion) and Florida is third ($240 billion). </li>
<li>South Dakota grew at an annual rate of 11.8%. </li>
</ul>
<p><strong>– Youth and increasing demographic growth are notable:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>The most common age range is 10-to-14 years, compared to 60-to-64 years among non-Latinos. The majority are under 25 years. </li>
<li>From 2010 - 2021, the Latino population surge constituted 52% of the total U.S. population growth during that time, translating into a 24.1% increase in the Latino population, compared to a 4.3% rise among non-Latinos. </li>
<li>From 2010 – 2021, the share of U.S. households identifying as Latino has risen from 11.6% to 14.4%. </li>
</ul>
<p><strong>– State of higher education:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>From 2010 – 2021, the number of individuals holding a bachelor’s degree or higher increased by 6.8% on an annualized basis, compared to 2.8% for non-Latinos. </li>
</ul>
<p>“The new data is the clearest sign yet that the U.S. economy will be highly depending on participation from the U.S. Latino cohort. We look forward to hearing our L’ATTITUDE participants share their insights on how they will use the data to activate change,” stressed Trujillo.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.latinodonorcollaborative.org/original-research/2023-ldc-u-s-latino-gdp-report" title="Latinos in the U.S. are key to the growth of the economy, says the 2023 Official LDC U.S. Latino GDP Report">The LDC report</a>, the most trusted source of information and analysis on the economic impact of Latinos across all industries and levels, is funded by Wells Fargo Bank.</p>
<p>Its reports are frequently used by institutions such as the Federal Reserve, the Joint Economic Committee of the United States Congress, and countless Fortune 500 corporations, which leverage data to project business trends and appeal to Latino demographics.</p>
<p>“The 2023 LDC U.S. Latino GDP Report not only underscores the incontestable economic prowess of the U.S. Latino community but also foretells the future trajectory of our nation,” said Michael M. Crow, president of ASU.</p>

<html><body><p>Administrator Isabella Casillas Guzmán, director of the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA), recently presented new data showing the number, rate and proportion of loans backed by the SBA, showing that sales to Hispanic-owned businesses have increased significantly.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.sba.gov/article/2023/09/25/sba-data-show-major-increase-loans-latino-owned-businesses-under-biden-harris-administration" title="SBA data shows significant increase in loans to Latino-owned businesses">Casillas Guzmán</a> said in a press release:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>America’s more than five million Latino-owned small businesses create jobs, deliver over $800 billion to our economy every year, and add to our nation’s global competitiveness—and they could do even more if we invested in them equitably.</p>
</blockquote>
<h1>Support for Latino Businesses</h1>
<p>According to information shared by the SBA, under the Biden Administration the U.S. has experienced a historic small business boom led by women and people of color.</p>
<p>Since his possession, 13.6 million new commercial applications have been filed, a rate 65% faster than the pre-pandemic average.</p>

</figure>
<p>Likewise, this small business boom has seen the fastest rate of creation of Hispanic-owned businesses in more than a decade—more than 20% faster than pre-pandemic levels.</p>
<p>“Since day one of the Biden-Harris Administration, the SBA has been committed to expanding access to capital and addressing historic gaps in small business lending to this highly entrepreneurial community and this 1.5x increase in loans to Latino-owned small businesses,” highlighted Casillas Guzmán.</p><p><!-- /309686595/internal-section-body -->

<h1>Growing Increase</h1>
<p>According to SBA data, the agency has approved nearly 7,300 loans to Latino-owned businesses so far in fiscal year 2023 through the <a href="https://www.sba.gov/funding-programs/loans/7a-loans" title="SBA data shows significant increase in loans to Latino-owned businesses">7(a)</a> and <a href="https://www.sba.gov/funding-programs/loans/504-loans" title="SBA data shows significant increase in loans to Latino-owned businesses">504 programs</a>.</p>
<p>“We are seeing a small business boom and the fastest creation rate of Latino-owned businesses in over a decade. We are on the right path and we will continue to do more to deliver the needed funding to advance opportunities for all,” added Casillas Guzmán.</p>

<p>Total dollars in loans ($2.8 billion) and the overall share of loans approved by the SBA (12.2%) to Latino-owned businesses have increased more than 1.5 times since the start of the Biden administration.</p>
<h1>Key Measures</h1>
<p>These are some of the measures the SBA has taken to increase access to its capital programs among Latino entrepreneurs:</p>
<ul>
<li>Expanding the Community Advantage Program, which supports lending to small businesses in underserved communities through mission-driven, community lenders, and making mission-oriented lending a permanent part of the SBA loan program through the Community Advantage Small Business Lending Company license </li>
<li>Deploying the $100 million Community Navigator Pilot Program funded under President Biden’s American Rescue Plan</li>
<li>Launching the Biden-Harris Administration’s cross-country Latino Prosperity Tour</li>
<li>More than tripling the number of Women’s Business Centers at Hispanic-Serving Institutions</li>
<li>Implementing new reforms to address persistent capital access gaps</li>
</ul>
<p>“While there is a long way to go to fully ensure equal opportunity for all Latino small businesses, the SBA and Biden Administration initiatives have allowed more Latino small business owners across America to access much-needed capital,” pointed out Rep. Nanette Barragán, chair of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus.</p><p></p><div data-embed-button="related_content"><h2>RELATED CONTENT</h2><div class="view view-related-content view-id-related_content view-display-id-block_1">

<html><body><p>Distintas agencias de noticias de Estados Unidos anunciaron esta mañana que el senador demócrata de Nueva Jersey Bob Menéndez fue acusado, por segunda vez en 10 años, con cargos de corrupción. </p>
<p>De acuerdo con <a href="https://cnnespanol.cnn.com/2023/09/22/senador-bob-menendez-esposa-soborno-lingotes-oro-trax/" title="Senator Bob Menéndez accused of bribery">CNN</a>, Menéndez y su esposa, Nadine Arslanian Menéndez, están acusados de aceptar “cientos de miles de dólares en sobornos” a cambio de la influencia del senador. </p>
<p>La acusación federal recientemente emitida por los fiscales, destaca el pago de sobornos con oro, efectivo, pagos de hipotecas, compensación por un “trabajo poco o nada presentado” y un vehículo de lujo.</p>
<p>Los cargos de conspiración también acusan a tres personas descritas como socios y empresarios de Nueva Jersey: Wael Hana, José Uribe y Fred Daibes.</p>
<p><strong>Menéndez reaccionó tras conocer las acusaciones: </strong></p>
<blockquote>
<p>Durante años, fuerzas detrás de escena han intentado repetidamente silenciar mi voz y cavar mi tumba política. Desde que se filtró esta investigación hace casi un año, ha habido una activa campaña de difamación de fuentes anónimas e insinuaciones para crear un aire de incorrección donde no existe”.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Menéndez, quien ha estado en el Senado desde 2006, aspira a la reelección el próximo año. </p><p><!-- /309686595/internal-section-body -->

<h1>Segunda Demanda</h1>
<p>Esta serie de cargos de corrupción, la segunda en una década, involucra a Menéndez con tres presuntos delitos, incluido ser receptor de una conspiración de soborno.</p>
<p>Anteriormente luchó contra acusaciones de conspiración, soborno y fraude de servicios honestos relacionados con supuestos favores personales.</p>
<p>Según el formulario de declaración financiera más reciente del senador, desde abril, su esposa vendió lingotes de oro por un valor de hasta US$400.000, dinero destinado según Menéndez para un fondo de defensa legal.</p>
<h1>Consecuencias Inmediatas</h1>
<p>Aunque podrá hacer parte del panel, las reglas del Grupo Legislativo Demócrata del Senado obligarán a Menéndez a dimitir como presidente de la Comisión de Relaciones Exteriores.</p>
<p>La fiscalía acusa a Menéndez de intentar influir en la elección del presidente para el fiscal federal superior en Nueva Jersey para beneficiar a uno de los socios comerciales y presionar al Departamento de Agricultura para proteger un monopolio comercial que otro contacto tenía en Egipto.</p><p></p><div data-embed-button="related_content"><h2>RELATED CONTENT</h2><div class="view view-related-content view-id-related_content view-display-id-block_1">

<h1>Sobre la Investigación</h1>
<p>De acuerdo con la investigación de los fiscales, en 2019, el Departamento de Agricultura (USDA) se había puesto en contacto con Egipto para oponerse a que se otorgara al contacto de Menéndez, Hana, derechos de monopolio relacionados con el suministro de carne halal a Estados Unidos.</p>
<p>El reporte indica que Hana se reunió con Menéndez en su oficina junto con otras personas, incluido un funcionario de inteligencia egipcio, en mayo de 2019, para pedirle ayuda para defenderse de la oposición de la agencia estadounidense. </p>
<p>“Cuando el funcionario-1 intentó explicar por qué el monopolio era perjudicial para los intereses estadounidenses, Menéndez reiteró su exigencia, en suma y sustancia, de que el USDA dejara de interferir con el monopolio de IS EG Halal. El funcionario-1 no accedió a la demanda de Menéndez, pero IS EG Halal mantuvo su monopolio”, señala la acusación.</p>
<p>La fiscalía también indicó que los registros de la casa de Menéndez y de la caja de seguridad que realizaron agentes federales en 2022 arrojaron casi US$500.000 en efectivo, incluidos sobres dentro de chaquetas adornadas con el nombre de Menéndez.</p>
<h1>Antecedentes </h1>
<p>Menéndez fue acusado por fiscales federales de la Oficina del Fiscal Federal en Nueva Jersey, en 2015, de conspiración, soborno y fraude de servicios honestos relacionados con el presunto abuso del poder de su cargo.</p>
<p>El juicio por corrupción de Menéndez terminó en juicio nulo en noviembre de 2017 después de que el jurado informara que estaba estancado.</p>
<p>Tras la anulación del juicio, un juez federal los absolvió de varios de los cargos, en 2018 y el Departamento de Justicia retiró los cargos restantes contra Menéndez.</p>

Our administration and our partners across the city have led the calls to ‘Let Them Work,’ so I want to thank President Biden for hearing our entire coalition, including our hard-working congressional delegation, and taking this important step that will bring hope to the thousands of Venezuelan asylum seekers currently in our care who will now be immediately eligible for Temporary Protected Status,” <a href="https://www.nyc.gov/office-of-the-mayor/news/688-23/mayor-adams-on-president-biden-s-extension-redesignation-venezuelan-asylum" title="Biden Administration grants temporary protected status to more Venezuelan immigrants">highlighted Adams</a> through a statement issued after learning of the presidential decision.</p>

<blockquote>
<p>I am hopeful that we can continue to partner with President Biden to extend Temporary Protected Status to the tens of thousands of other migrants in our care from other countries.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Previously, the Biden administration had made temporary protected status available to Venezuelans who arrived in the U.S. before March 9, 2021.</p>
<p>The eligibility announcement was first made in 2021, and those immigrants remain eligible to apply for TPS until March 2024.</p>
<h1>More Measurements</h1>
<p>According to <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/immigration/biden-admin-gives-venezuelan-migrants-temporary-protected-status-rcna108753?cid=sm_npd_nn_tw_ma&taid=650bac03ce93780001b5f018&utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter" title="Biden Administration grants temporary protected status to more Venezuelan immigrants">NBCNews</a>, the Biden Administration also announced that it will deploy 800 active-duty troops to assist Customs and Border Protection on the southwest border, in addition to the state's 2,400 National Guard troops.</p>
<p>Likewise, the Department of Homeland Security also announced that it would expand its program to quickly deport migrants who cross as families, a measure that could send a message of deterrence to a growing number of families crossing the border between the U.S. and Mexico.</p>
<p>"I look forward to continued work with our state and federal partners to deliver relief for asylum seekers and longtime New Yorkers with a national decompression strategy and expedited work authorizations so those entering our city and our country can provide for themselves and finally have a shot at living out the American Dream,” concluded Adams. </p>
