“I am tax exiled in Puerto Rico," billionaire Phil Shawe says from a white-walled office, the tropical sun peeking through the shutters. My latest for @Forbes, on Shawe's company TransPerfect and his mission of "cannibalizing" yourself: forbes.com/sites/phoebeliu/2…

#PuertoRico's Center for Investigative Journalism is taking the Dept of Econ Development (DEDC) to court to mandate the disclosure of Act 22/60 data that was requested over 4 months ago & which served as the basis for a DEDC-commissioned study on the act's return on investment.
Después de más de cuatro meses de la solicitud para que se entregue la base de datos que dio pie al estudio "Rendimiento de los incentivos económicos: evaluación de datos y análisis del retorno de la inversión", el DDEC no ha entregado la información. periodismoinvestigativo.com/…

I have no idea what their strategy is, but this white nationalist talk is coming from the same folks who are evading taxes IN PUERTO RICO. #AbolishAct22

Act 22 is sold as "trickle down colonialism" -a phrase by my colega @fdejesusfebles. What it's doing is facilitating a wave of millionaire invaders using #PuertoRico as a tax haven and displacing Puerto Ricans.

Act 22 is fueling a displacement & migration crisis in PR and depriving the mainland of billions in tax revenues. Proud to introduce the UPROAR resolution with @repdeliaramirez & @repAOC to elevate these issues and bring accountability on this predatory law.

NEW: US House members are renewing a call to end a decade-old program offering substantial tax breaks to wealthy investors who relocate to Puerto Rico, introducing a congressional resolution to “swiftly address” what they called millions in lost revenue. news.bloombergtax.com/daily-…

FYI, I pulled all the public information available from the gov't of #PuertoRico that lists all the registered Act 22, Act 20, and Act 60 individuals and businesses. @LatNewsletter made it public so you don't have to search for it. docs.google.com/spreadsheets…

Fun fact: Puerto Rico - a colony - has a delegation made up of the same party that’s backing the former chair of Latinos for Trump.

Had a great time in Chicago’s Humboldt Park yesterday meeting with elected & community leaders from across the Puerto Rican diaspora. I’ll always stand up for Puerto Rican’s right to self-determination and the people’s right to shape their own future. Viva Puerto Rico! 🇵🇷❤️
