Dem lawmaker to bring former Trump property undocumented worker to State of the Union

Rep. Jimmy Gomez (D-Calif.) announced Friday that he will bring Sandra Diaz, a formerly undocumented immigrant who worked at a Trump property, to the State of the Union address next week.

Diaz, a Costa Rican immigrant who has since obtained legal status, worked as a housekeeper from 2010-2013 at the Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, N.J.

“When I first met Sandra, I was inspired by her story and her courage," Gomez said in a statement. "It’s no small feat for a migrant from Costa Rica to stand up to a bully and hypocrite in the White House. She is living proof that President Trump couldn't be more wrong — both morally and factually — when he demonizes those who come to America seeking a better life.”

Diaz says her supervisors were aware of her undocumented status at the time and often subjected her to physical or verbal abuse and threatened her with deportation.
