  • Proposed legislation would help NYC street vendors obtain license to work

    Proposed legislation would help NYC street vendors obtain license to work
    May 25 2025
    On this edition of Tiempo, we discuss the latest efforts to help New York City street vendors obtain a license to work legally. Proposed legislation would decriminalize vending, make permits more accessible and help mitigate some of the risks that immigrant vendors may face. Currently, more than 10,000 street vendors are on a city waitlist to get a license. The number of permits issued by the city, meanwhile, has been capped since the 1980s. Joining us to discuss is NYC Councilmember Pierina Sanchez, one of the sponsors of the legislation that would make these permits more accessible. Mi Patria Puerto Rico is an organization founded by Puerto Rican military veterans born in New York. The group volunteers on the island to help families rebuild after natural disasters, along with so many other things that they do. We featured Mi Patria Puerto Rico on our show last year, and now the group is back to update us on their latest projects on the island. Learn more about your ad choices.

    On this edition of Tiempo, we discuss a monumental recognition for a local community trailblazer and the Queen of Salsa: Celia Cruz. Cruz was posthumously honored with a Walk of Fame star in New Jersey. The ceremony took place at the Barrymore Film Center in Fort Lee, where the multiple Grammy Award winner lived for decades. The Celia Cruz star kicks off a yearlong celebration coinciding with the 100th anniversary of her birth. Joining us to discuss this honor is Carlos Medina, president of the Statewide Hispanic Chamber of Commerce of New Jersey. Meanwhile, Ballet Hispanico later this month will premiere its version of the timeless, classic opera, "Carmen," but in a dance form they call "Carmen.maquia." The Latino dance company is also celebrating its emerald anniversary. We'll talk to them all about the new production and their milestone year. Also ahead, a celebration we love to highlight each year: the annual Loisaida Festival. The cultural festival is one of the largest and oldest community pride festivals in New York City.

    Immigration attorney discusses mass deportations under the Trump administration
    May 11 2025
    On this edition of Tiempo, we take a closer look at the mass deportations under the Trump administration. The federal crackdown has produced fear and confusion across migrant communities, sparked street protests and spurred a historic showdown between the executive and judicial branches over the legality of the deportations. But do mass deportations work? Joining us to discuss is immigration attorney Veronica Cardenas, who is a former assistant chief counsel with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. Plus, we catch up with Puerto Rican and Manhattan native, actor Ramon Rodriguez from the hit ABC show, "Will Trent." Rodriguez took us to one of his favorite Puerto Rican restaurants, "Casa Adela" on the Lower East Side, for some good food and even better conversation. Also ahead, details on FUERZAfest 2025. The two-week festival starts in a few days and showcases the social impact and contributions of the Latino LGBTQ+ community. We'll talk to event organizers about what people can expect.
