    Celebrating the Bronx and its community

    On this edition of Tiempo, we highlight the SBH Teaching Kitchen in the Bronx. So many Latinos know how to cook savory, mouthwatering meals, and the mission at SBH Teaching Kitchen focuses on preparing dishes that are not only delicious, but also healthy. The kitchen offers eating plans, prenatal and Caribbean cuisine, cooking workshops and even has a rooftop garden. We speak with the vice president of community and government affairs of the SBH Health System about the teaching kitchen. But first: The renewed push to celebrate the Bronx and its community. The Bronx is home to a major Latino community. According to the 2020 U.S. Census, more than 50% of borough residents are Latinos. Besides being the birthplace of Salsa and Hip Hop, there are so many others reasons to spotlight the Bronx. Recently, there has been a renewed push and focus on tourism to help make the Bronx a global destination. Joining us to discuss all things Bronx is Borough President Vanessa Gibson.

    On this edition of Tiempo, the United States is extending deportation protection for Venezuelan nationals. The Biden administration issued an extension of deportation protection for Venezuela, all through the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) program. The announcement came as Venezuela's Nicolas Maduro was sworn in for a third presidential term. Protesters in Venezuela, however, say Maduro didn't provide the evidence proving that he won the election. Meanwhile, the U.S. Department of State put out a warrant for Maduro's capture. Joining us to provide insight is the founder of the USA4ALL immigration law firm, Renata Castro. Plus, Tiempo looks at efforts to get Latino and Hispanic history taught in New Jersey schools.

New Jersey has a rapidly-growing Hispanic and Latino population, which accounts for 22% of the state's 1.1 million people, according to figures in the U.S. Census. We speak with New Jersey Senate Majority Leader M. Teresa Ruiz about the importance of this legislation. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

    Future of immigration programs under President-elect Donald Trump's 2nd term

    On this edition of Tiempo, a special honor for the legendary Rita Moreno. The Boricua actress, activist and former Tiempo guest is turning 93 years old, and to mark the occasion, toymaker Mattel made a doll in her honor. The doll pays homage to the trailblazer with a gown she wore the night she won the Oscar in 1962 for Best Supporting Actress for her role as Anita in "Westside Story." Tiempo has details on how and when you can get the special edition doll. Also ahead, the Yonkers Fire Department is looking to hire and diversify the ranks. The recruitment team has visited schools and community centers to get the word out. We talk to them about their recruitment efforts. But right now, we focus on President-elect Donald Trump and his call for mass deportations. Under Trump's plans, programs that offer temporary protection for immigrants may be at risk. One major concern centers around DACA: the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program. Immigration attorneys have been very busy preparing for the possibility of large-scale workplace raids and roundups in communities throughout the five boroughs and beyond. Joining us to discuss the matter is attorney Steve Maggi. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
