Member of Trump National Hispanic Advisory Council Resigns

HeadlineSep 02, 2016

In campaign news, Donald Trump has lost support from members of the Latino community following his hard-line speech in Phoenix on Wednesday in which he promised to deport 2 million people within his first hour in office. Houston attorney Jacob Monty has resigned from Trump’s National Hispanic Advisory Council. Alfonso Aguilar, president of the Latino Partnership for Conservative Principles, has withdrawn his endorsement for Trump. Ramiro Pena, a pastor in Texas who is also on Trump’s Hispanic Advisory Council, wrote in an email to Republican leaders that the council appears to be a “scam,” and said, “I believe Mr. Trump lost the election tonight.”
