Rep. Teresa Leger Fernández, a U.S. Representative, expressed concern on September 8, 2025, about a recent Supreme Court decision and its potential impact on Latinos living in the United States.
In a tweet posted in Spanish on September 8, 2025, Leger Fernández wrote: " La Corte Suprema acaba de poner en riesgo a todos los latinos en Estados Unidos.
El gobierno debe proteger a toda su gente — no condenar a millones de latinos a vivir con miedo en el país donde son ciudadanos, algunos por décadas.
Hoy, la Corte Suprema abrió la puerta a un".
She reiterated her concerns in English in another post the same day: " The Supreme Court just put all Latinos in the United States at risk. The government must protect all its people — not condemn millions of Latinos to live in fear in the country in which they are citizens, some for decades.
Today, the Supreme Court opened the door to a world".

Leger Fernández's statements come amid ongoing debates over immigration policy and civil rights protections for Latino communities across the nation. She has represented her district since winning election victories against Alexis Martinez Johnson in both 2020 and 2022 with margins of nearly 59% to 41%. In 2024, she defeated Sharon Clahchischilliage in the general election as well, securing continued support from her constituency despite close competition.
Her comments reflect growing concerns among some lawmakers and advocates regarding recent judicial decisions affecting minority populations and underscore ongoing calls for federal action to ensure protection for all U.S. residents regardless of background or citizenship status.
