Cuellar and progressives form tenuous alliance amid Trump immigration crackdown
· KRGV (NBC 5)
U.S. Representative Henry Cuéllar attended the LUPE Votes five-year anniversary event in Pharr, where the progressive group endorsed him for the first time despite previous opposition. Cuéllar's moderate stance has often clashed with progressive ideals, but his recent efforts to engage with community and industry groups on immigration issues have garnered some support. LUPE Votes, while cautious, recognized the need to prevent a complete Republican takeover in the Rio Grande Valley, where Cuéllar represents the 28th district. The endorsement comes with conditions, including a call for no further funding for ICE and a commitment to address reproductive rights concerns.
