BREAKING NOW: LEADING DEMOCRAT AND TRUMP CRITIC TO ANNOUNCE HE IS QUITTING CONGRESS
The Democratic Party is losing one of their leaders, as a top member of the House of Representatives
is set to announce that he is retiring and will not seek re-election.
According to multiple news sources, Luis Gutierrez, a Democrat from Illinois, is retiring and
will not seek re-election.
He is expected to make the official announcement sometime today.
Gutierrez has been a vocal leader in the Democrats� push for immigration legislation, and he has
been among President Donald Trump�s top critics.Fox News has more.
Rep. Luis Gutierrez, D-Ill., a longtime advocate for comprehensive immigration reform and critic
of the Trump administration, is retiring from Congress, Fox News confirms.
Gutierrez held an event in Chicago on Monday alongside Mayor Rahm Emanuel and is slated
to hold a news conference in Chicago on Tuesday morning.The lawmaker confirmed to Fox News
that he plans to run for another office � just not Congress.
There is speculation he could be gearing up to run for governor of Puerto Rico or mayor
of Chicago.
The 63-year-old congressman has served his Chicago district since 1993 and is a senior
member of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus.
A Puerto Rican, he has been a lead proponent in recent weeks of providing federal aid to
storm-ravaged Puerto Rico.
He also has been arrested this year outside Trump Tower in New York protesting the president�s
strict immigration enforcement policy.
But Gutierrez also was among the harshest critics of former President Barack Obama,
whom he called the �deporter in chief� for ordering immigration agencies to deport
hundreds of thousands of undocumented immigrants.
He strongly disagreed with Obama�s � and his then-chief of staff Emanuel�s decision
� to use the early years of his presidency to push for health-care reform instead of
an immigration overhaul
Before the Thanksgiving recess, Gutierrez told The Washington Post that he was planning
to file the roughly 800 signatures he needed to collect in order to run for re-election.
�I�m filing my papers, and I�m doing it again,� he said at the time.But he has
privately hinted to colleagues for the past several years that he wanted to retire.
Earlier this year, he signaled that he felt comfortable doing so now that the Congressional
Hispanic Caucus has more than 30 members, including several younger, more ambitious
colleagues in safe districts who are likely to be in Congress for several years to come.
