ENFOQUE CON JOSE DIAZ-BALART Sets Program for 4/26
DNA testing proves that police had the wrong girl when they deported Alondra Luna to a woman in the US claiming to be her biological mother; a victim of domestic violence starts an NGO to combat this problem in the US Hispanic community; failure to sign up for health insurance could mean a hefty fine on your tax return; and Maickel Melamed, the handicapped athlete who crossed the finish line at the Boston Marathon. These are just some of the stories award-winning journalist José Díaz-Balart will cover this Sunday on "Enfoque con José Díaz-Balart," airing at 12PM/11AM C.
Raúl Torres interviews Alondra Luna and her family about her deportation and the DNA tests that show she is not related to a woman in the US looking for her daughter in Mexico. Attorney Bridgette Alvarez, a specialist in family law, explains parental rights in such cases involving the US and Mexico. Marilyn Bautista, a victim of domestic violence and the founder of the NGO NOMAS.ORG, discusses statistics showing that 56% of Hispanic women in the US know someone who has suffered abuse at the hands of a family member. A conversation with Enroll America spokeswoman Annette Raveneau serves as a reminder that anyone who hasn't already signed up for health insurance in 2015 could see a substantial fine on next year's tax return under Obamacare legislation. And finally, a story of resilience and the strength of the human spirit: Maickel Melamed, a 37-year-old teacher from Venezuela with muscular dystrophy, takes 20 hours to complete the BOSTON MARATHON but makes it across the finish line with his head held high.
