DHS official makes appeal to Hispanic Christian leaders ahead of midterms
Speaking Tuesday at the NHCLC's 25th Anniversary Summit at the Museum of the Bible in Washington, DHS faith director Irene Armendariz-Jackson told Hispanic Christian leaders that churches should take an active role in government.
"Back in 2016, I woke up and I realized that as a believer in Christ, I should be involved in the public square," said Armendariz-Jackson, an El Paso small business owner. She said many Christians stay out of politics to avoid losing friends and family.
The appeal comes as Latino leaders have voiced concern that the Trump administration's aggressive immigration enforcement could erode gains among Hispanic voters; Trump won 46% of the Latino vote in 2024.
