"The House has just voted to pass legislation to establish a Smithsonian National Museum of the American Latino in Washington, D.C.
'Latinos are an integral part of our history and culture and have been at the center of American progress for generations, and yet study after study has shown that the story of this community, within the broader scope of American history, has not been told,' Democratic Rep. Pete Aguilar said on the House floor."

The Eighth Federal Circuit has joined the Sixth and Ninth Circuits stating that people who have maintained TPS status and who have traveled outside of the United States with Advance Parole are eligible to apply for a green card inside the United States if all other requirements are met and no other bars to adjusting status are present.
The Court ruled, "A noncitizen who enters this country without inspection or admission, but who later receives Temporary Protected Status (TPS), may adjust her status to Lawful Permanent Resident because a TPS recipient is deemed inspected and admitted for purposes of 8 U.S.C. 1255(a)." Velasquez v. Barr, No. 19-1148 (8th Cir. 2020)
