This 4th of July, we reflect on the promise of liberty and justice—not yet fulfilled, but worth fighting for. We honor Indigenous peoples, immigrant roots, and our shared resistance to tyranny and hate. 🇺🇸

Today, we pause to honor those who lost their lives in service to our country. As we enjoy time with loved ones, let’s also remember the families who carry the weight of that loss every day. Their sacrifice is a reminder of the cost of freedom—and the strength of the human spirit.

As a Peruvian-American, I’m proud of Pope Leo XIV—born in Chicago, later a naturalized Peruvian. He served Peru with heart, including as Archbishop of Chiclayo. His first message was full of warmth. Wishing him strength as he leads the Catholic Church.

I evaluated a family who had applied for asylum and provided court testimony. I heard today that the petition was granted. I am grateful for the opportunities I have to make a difference in the lives of immigrant families through my career. We must preserve America as the land of hope.

I worked with an immigrant family and when I told them memories of my dad’s small farm when he was in the military and we were stationed in southern Peru (as a way to build rapport), they wanted to invite me to their farm so I could get some fruits and vegetables. Immigrants are good people.

Women drive progress and lead change, yet still face wage gaps, discrimination, and threats to autonomy. This #InternationalWomensDay let’s honor our impact and commit to a future where women are valued, protected, and empowered. #WomenLead #IWD

So grateful to the Black community who are putting out messages in support of the Latino community. Someone said, “these people are my people and we stand with you.” Thank you 🙏🏽✊🏽

Ten days in, and the exhaustion is real. The relentless cycle of incompetence, blame-shifting, and attacks—on immigrants, on diversity, equity, and inclusion, on basic decency—feels like a never-ending storm. I stay grounded by focusing on the incredible people we fight for.

I evaluated a child with an IEP and medical needs so they could get immigration relief. Today, he was sworn as U.S. citizen. I love our country and I am glad that I can use my training to help families. It’s a good day.🇺🇸🗽

Seeing immigrants handcuffed and chained like criminals is heartbreaking. The vast majority are here to work and contribute with their talents and culture. Some left horrific wars and persecution, yet they are resilient.

Please use your platform to speak up against cruel treatment of immigrants.

Firefighters are heroes 🚒🙏🏽
For nearly three weeks, thousands of firefighters and personnel have mobilized to SoCal to protect our communities.

They've battled flames along thousands of acres while facing extremely inhospitable conditions on the ground.

We commend your bravery. Thank you to our heroes.

We’re in a marathon, not a sprint. Let’s stay focused, avoid overreacting, and keep our minds healthy. Together, with collective strength, we can face what’s ahead. 💙 #Community #Resilience

Spent part of the day watching dog videos streamed on 1/20 by @meidastouch.com. Nice way to raise money for the Humane Society Emergency Animal Relief Fund. We really enjoyed today’s programming.

I earned my PhD in Santa Barbara and spent years in beautiful SoCal surrounded by incredible people. Seeing the devastating images of the fires is such a stark contrast to my cherished memories of the area. Praying for the safety of all—people and animals alike. Here to help in any way we can.

Thank you President Jimmy Carter for doing so much good for humanity. A life well lived, peacekeeping, and humanitarian efforts. A legacy to admire. Rest in peace. 💙

I’m reflecting on how grateful I am to work with so many incredible families. Spending time with my son reminds me of the importance of connection, love, and cherishing the moments that matter most. Wishing you all a holiday filled with joy and togetherness!🎄🎅🏽

I evaluated a family from Guatemala and families from Jamaica in the last week to help with their immigration application. Immigrants contribute to the U.S. with their culture and talents. Immigrants make our country better. #immigration

Many accidents happen during Thanksgiving because people drink and drive, resulting in head and spine injuries. Please do not get behind the wheel when you’ve been drinking.
