On Sept. 16, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre issued a fresh condemnation of a pair of Republican governors — Ron DeSantis of Florida and Greg Abbott of Texas — who have sent groups of migrants to Democratic areas, accusing them of employing “the kinds of tactics we see from smugglers in places like Mexico and Guatemala.”

From Thursday through Sunday, a variety of restaurants, bars, businesses, museums and performing arts venues are holding events in recognition of Mexican Independence Day and the start of Hispanic Heritage Month.

Hispanic Heritage Month begins later this week and kicks off with the celebration of Mexico’s Independence Day.
