For his facts you will know them, it says the Biblical saying, which we believe can be applied in all his sense in the personality of Tom Pérez, a Hispanic lawyer of clean and brilliant trajectory, who has just received the assertion of the Senate, for widest most of 72 affirmative votes and 12 in against, like new person in charge of the Division of Civil rights of the nation.
Pérez has had under his responsibility different public positions in the metropolitan area of Washington, DC. It has served with supreme efficacy in local, state and federal charges. In the year 2002 it did history on having been constituted in the first Hispanic in coming to the government of the County of Montgomery for popular voting. And in last three years, he was the first Secretary of Work of this origin in the State of Maryland.
“ Tom is the firm and experienced leader who is needed to restore the Division of Civil rights in all his capacity in the Department of Justice”, has mentioned Janet Murguía, the executive president of the National Council of The Race, the biggest organization of Hispanic defensoría of the country. “The está deeply compromised with the inclusion and the diversity and he has been a strong and energetic defender of the Latin organizations and of the civil rights”, he admitted.

We consider, together with Murguía and the National Association of Latin Officials Elected and Designated (NALEO, for his initials in English), that the designation of Tom Pérez at the head of the Division of Civil rights of the Department of Justice happens in a moment especially critically, when the hate crimes against persons of Latin origin have increased in 40 per cent from 2003.
Fortunately he already has experience in the topic. Let's remember that years behind he was a Special Adviser of Senator Ted Kennedy for civil rights topics and criminal justice. And that worked next to the Secretary of Justice Janet Reno, during the administration of Bill Clinton, when it supervised the accusation related to a crime of hate that did epoch and that involved to supremacistas (racist) white persons and the black community of Texas.
Washington Hispanic believes that Tom Pérez will be able to handle this serious challenge with the skill and brightness that they it have characterized. And that will honor the difficult order across his other important functions, between them that of fighting against the discrimination in all his facets and also against the intimidation in the electoral processes where the Hispanics make to feel his weight in every time major number.
