A group of organizations and citizens of Puerto Rico met in front of the offices of the Department of Housing and Urban Development in New York to demand the administration of Donald Trump to release all federal funds for the island approved by Congress more of two years. So far, Puerto Rico has received only US $ 1.5 billion in assistance following the devastating passage of Hurricane Maria. Although the Government announced on Wednesday that the island will be able to access more than US $ 8.2 billion that remained frozen for several months for suspected suspicions of corruption, protesters say it is not enough in the face of the emergency faced by the population due to recent earthquakes .
