Ms. BARRAGAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise in opposition to the rule.

The rules package is anti-Latino. It makes in order bills that attack abortion rights and reproductive health that Latinas rely on. It doubles down on Republicans' inhumane treatment of Latino migrants fleeing violence and persecution.

Later today, Republicans plan to rush a vote on a bill that protects wealthy and ultrawealthy tax cheats, leaving low-income Black and Latino communities to bear the brunt of tax audits because they make easy targets.

Republicans have begun this Congress with chaos and now plan to push extreme policies that do nothing to help Latinos in this country.

Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to vote against this rule.
