    2025/08/10
    On this edition of Tiempo, we count down to the 2025 National Dominican Day Parade in New York City. A ribbon cutting ceremony will kick off festivities in Midtown Manhattan on Sunday, and the parade is sure to be a good time for all. The annual event celebrates Dominican culture and the many triumphs of Dominicans in the city. In fact, Dominicans represent the largest Hispanic population in the five boroughs, making up nearly 35% of Latinos in New York City. Joining us with a preview of the event is National Dominican Day Parade Chair Cristina Contreras and La Madrina Mayra Linares-Garcia. Also ahead, a teenage Latino artist who paints custom cleats. And he doesn't paint just any cleats. Several Major League Baseball players, including the Mets' Pete Alonso and the Yankees' Jazz Chisholm Jr. feature his artwork on their shoes. We speak with the young entrepreneur about the inspiration behind his artwork. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

    Tiempo 7/27/25: National Dominican Day Parade prep, Nassau ICE lawsuit
    2025/07/27
    This week on "Tiempo" we are gearing up for the National Dominican Day Parade next month. The owner of "Don Carvajal Café" joins "Tiempo" to talk about brewing authentic Dominican Cafecito in Westchester County. Also, a look at the lawsuit Nassau County is facing regarding its partnership with ICE. Earlier this year the county became the second in New York to deputize local police to carry out immigration enforcement, meaning detectives can arrest immigrants without legal status. The New York Civil Liberties Union filed the lawsuit. The union claims the partnership violates state law and will lead to racial profiling. Ify Chikezie, the lead counsel on the case from the New York Civil Liberties Union, joins "Tiempo" to explain the case further. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

    On this edition of Tiempo, we highlight one local school in New Jersey whose students are graduating with a special honor.
