The oldest of eight relatives, according to California assembly Juan Carrillo. The youngest child was born in Guadalajara, Mexico's Jalisco, while the other was born in the United States. He crossed the border at the age of fourteen, and his career was always altered. His American existence began after four weeks in San Isidro's immigration detention center. And he continued to do so.
He and his sons are decent persons. They are listed chronologically. " Victoria is a officer in the trucks of the national postal services. The next one, who moves goods from Texas to California on a vehicle, is in charge of the business. A spend truck driver is the next one. The next one works in a town and has lived in Oregon for about 15 times. One girl works as a kindergarten teacher, and the other works in retail. The youngest, the only one who was born in California, works as an attorney and spouse in an Irvine law company.
He has four kids of his own. The next one, according to him, is 21 years old and joins the Navy. Like him, the oldest of 29 studied industrial planning. Additionally, sisters merely turned 12 are present. They all made a good first impression on American culture, contributing to both the state and the nation, he says.
He goes on to say that it is "very opposed to what our leader says. "
Juan Carrillo physically feels Donald Trump's insults and insulting remarks toward Latinos. He claims that this is what the seven of us who crossed accomplished. whatever, no problem.
And now?
Members of the California Legislature's Latino Caucus elected him as their next leader and chair next year. What he can do then, when he is in charge of a group of 38 senators, expands.
The Californian Legislative Caucus is an illustration of the ancient advancements that Latinos have made in California's elected jobs. Two Latinos were the only ones elected to the state government in 1962. They created the congressional party in 1973, when there were five of them. Its membership increased to 38 members in years, 22 of whom are women, as campaigns, statistical development, and political awakenings took place.
Significant legislative priorities for the area are established in this context today. It is one of the most powerful institutions in the state government.
And even though they represent Latino voters and are united by an ethnic and cultural element, it is obvious that all Californians are affected by the issues that affect Latino in California.
On April 14, they made their parliamentary package, which includes 15 priority law proposals, for the new parliamentary year. Movements at the top that if they are passed, they will serve as a retaining walls against the federal government's attacks on immigrant populations. Additionally, there are efforts to promote solutions on issues like health care access, public health, food safety, educational opportunities, and other issues.
Democratic Rep. Carrillo represents the 39th area of the north Antelope Valley. Latinos make up 60 % of its half a million people. He first commenced his political activism in the area of Palmdale, first serving on the board of directors of the training district. " I served on the Palmdale town council for three years, then six as a counsellor. " He had previously worked there for ten years as an industrial organizer, which was his line of work. Best that, he still lives there. He was elected to the state legislature in 2022. He was re-elected in 2024. He is currently attempting to win a second word.
We had a conversation over Zoom on Thursday, and we later met because we had already met him months prior when the principal Latino legislators had traveled to Los Angeles for a session of information with Latino community leaders.
A group of four associates – Carrillo properly lists them – showed up at the entrance to the Adelanto immigration detention centre on that same day to protest anti-immigration plans. They that presented their legislative action to the hit, he claims, aimed "at supporting the immigrant community. "
He may face the federal government at the immigration level as chair of the caucus at this point.
When attempting to capture someone, ICE agents will be wearing gloves that will surprise them. They are going to lock people, give them electric shocks, and then drive them to the processing facilities.
"No. The federal government did not accept the law and it is now being litigated in the courts." And he adds: "They believe they have immunity to do whatever they want... They do not respect our rights as human beings and as American citizens. But nevertheless we continue standing and not only us Latinos."
"As you know, other ethnic groups continue to support us... I am very proud of the support of our leaders in the Legislature's Black Caucus. Just yesterday in Sacramento, Assemblyman Isaac Bryan protested against the atrocities that continue to be committed against our communities. I am also grateful for the support of our colleagues and colleagues from the Jewish Caucus, from the LGBTQ group, from the women's caucus."
"I am proud to represent the 38 members of the group, one of the largest in the Legislature, after the Women Caucus. But what you mentioned about being powerful, I frankly do not see it that way. I am just one of those immigrants, fortunate to have become a legislator in the state and representing, with the Latino caucus, all Latinos throughout California."
"We put this power of the legislative caucus at the disposal of our people, so that they know that they are not alone, that we are here supporting them, although many times it feels that it is morally nothing more. I am willing to fight day by day to be able to preserve our rights now which they want to take away from us as human beings, as immigrants, as people who pay our taxes and as Latinos who contribute to California continuing to be the fourth world power economically."
“Some of the members must necessarily retire after 12 years in the Legislature.” The rest are fighting their re-election and there are several new Latino candidates and we believe that we will continue to be 38, it is possible that we will be 40.”
“And we have the great opportunity to have a Latino as governor, Xavier Becerra, a member of the Latino Caucus.”
But Carrillo emphasizes the importance of local elections in which numerous Latino candidates could be elected. "The point is that the blue wave that is expected to occur not only in state or federal elections but also in municipal elections, and we hope to also be able to do so in Palmdale and other cities that I represent. It is in the local elections where the changes begin to take shape.
"That I keep their situation in mind every day because I also lived here being undocumented, although the fear they now go through is much greater. I tell them not to lose faith. We live in a nightmare, but we are going to wake up. The most important thing is to continue supporting those who can vote."
"Because if now they are coming for us, immigrants, who knows who will be next. And we are not just Latinos. They attack women, with what they have done to their reproductive health. To LGBTQ people. We are going to wake up from this nightmare, but being very careful. It is something for which we have to continue fighting, not leave it in the hands of others, because that is not the solution.
"Even more so when they are looking for ways to not let us vote. They want to intimidate us. Those who cannot vote must ensure that others who can but have not done so this time vote. Many immigrants think that their vote does not matter because in their countries perhaps it did not matter. But here, here it does matter."
“You'll see, better times will come.”
