Jorge Ramos on his new digital series: ‘I have a few pending battles left'
Journalist Jorge Ramos is officially back in the spotlight following his departure from TelevisaUnivision last December. 'Journalists never retire and I have a few pending battles left,' said Ramos in a phone call with The Times. On Wednesday, the Mexican reporter announced his new independent daily news program, 'Así veo las cosas,' on Instagram. Featuring interviews with notable figures and everyday people alike, his broadcasts will be accessible across multiple social media platforms, including YouTube, Instagram, X, Facebook and TikTok beginning June 23. While most of his segments will be filmed in a Miami-based studio, Ramos expects to be in the field, speaking with community members. 'I want to be with the people, transmitting live,' he said. 'This is a dangerous and critical time for Latinos and immigrants,' Ramos added. 'There's not enough spaces for immigrants' voices to be heard and to counter all the lies told about us.' Early last week, Ramos teased his comeback to broadcast journalism in the wake of the protests against ICE sweeps across Los Angeles. 'This is a grave moment, especially with the presence of the National Guard in Los Angeles,' said Ramos in an Instagram Reel, uploaded on June 8. 'We have to explain why so many immigrants feel betrayed, why so many immigrants feel persecuted,' he continued. 'Because what is happening in Los Angeles is a motive for frustration and desperation among the Latino and immigrant community.' In the same clip, Ramos acknowledged his six-month hiatus. 'I know that I have many months out of the news and screens for various reasons, but this is the exact moment that I must return to tell [you] what is happening,' said Ramos. On Dec. 13, Ramos concluded his 38-year run with 'Noticierio Univision,' the most-watched Spanish-language newscast, along with his Sunday morning public affairs program, 'Al Punto,' which he anchored for 17 years. Throughout his career, Ramos established himself as a fierce reporter known for pressing world leaders with tough questions, particularly surrounding the topic of immigration. 'Never, never in my career has someone censored me or dictated what I say or don't say in the U.S.,' Ramos told The Times. Many may recall Ramos directly referring to former President Barack Obama as 'Deporter-in-Chief' during a 2014 interview aired on Univision, citing his mass deportation efforts and a failed campaign promise to pass comprehensive immigration reform. Less than a year later, Ramos made headlines when he was ejected from a Donald Trump press conference in Iowa after refusing to sit down. Ramos had asked the Republican candidate about his promise to build a wall and deport millions of undocumented immigrants; in response, Trump told Ramos to 'go back to Univision.' News of Ramos' departure came last September, when parent company TelevisaUnivision announced that both parties had 'mutually agreed' not to renew Ramos' contract at the end of the year. While no further details were disclosed, Ramos was the second major figure to leave after Televisa merged with Univision. León Krauze, who anchored Univision's late-night newscast, resigned in 2023, notably less than a week after Televisa journalist Enrique Acevedo conducted a nearly hour-long, nonconfrontational interview with President Trump. Ramos' exit from broadcast television came at a troubling time overall for network evening newscasts, which have struggled to compete with fast-paced content creator hubs like YouTube. According to a 2024 Pew Research Center report about U.S. Latino news consumption, 65% of Latinos said they largely consumed news through their digital devices, a detail that Ramos seemed to acknowledge with the launch of 'Así veo las cosas.' 'I've been fortunate enough to be a very privileged journalist,' said Ramos. 'I want to continue using that platform for other voices that need to be heard, but aren't.' He jokingly referred to himself now as an avant-garde 'content creator,' but added: 'I hope I can differentiate myself by the journalistic experience and credibility I have gained over 40 years. 'I think journalism is more important than ever, and my bet is that people who saw me on TV will follow me on social media,' said Ramos.

Rep. Ramos proposes bill for red light cameras in Mass.
BOSTON (WWLP) – Massachusetts State Representative Orlando Ramos has introduced legislation to install cameras that track drivers who run red lights. Route 9 in Belchertown closed following multi-car crash According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, at least 22 states and Washington, D.C. permit the use of traffic enforcement cameras. Representative Ramos' bill, An Act Relative to Traffic Safety at Intersections, would not apply to speeding, only to red-light violations. The cameras would automatically fine drivers running red lights. 'This legislation is about saving lives,' Ramos said. 'Red light cameras are a proven tool to improve safety and prevent avoidable tragedies at dangerous intersections.' The act would allow municipalities to opt in after holding public hearings and receiving approval from local governing boards. The bill is scheduled for a public hearing before the Joint Committee on Tuesday. WWLP-22News, an NBC affiliate, began broadcasting in March 1953 to provide local news, network, syndicated, and local programming to western Massachusetts.

Heliot Ramos, Giants stun Rangers with wild walk-off 'Little League home run' after late errors
The Giants pulled off a 3-2 win over the Rangers after a string of bad errors in the ninth inning on Sunday The San Francisco Giants pulled off a ridiculous "Little League home run" on Sunday afternoon that left the Texas Rangers — and just about everyone else watching the matchup in the Bay Area — absolutely stunned. The Giants, thanks to a walk-off hit from Heliot Ramos, beat the Rangers 3-2 at Oracle Park after a wild final play. After a couple of bad errors by the Rangers, Ramos had his single turned into a game-winning "home run." Ramos hit a dribbler back at Rangers closer Luke Jackson, though Jackson sailed the throw well past first base and up the right-field line after bare-handing the ball. So Ramos immediately kept going and made his way to third. First baseman Jake Burger, however, also missed the mark when he tried to throw Ramos out at third. So Ramos took off for home and made it safely with plenty of time to spare. That sparked a massive celebration at the stadium. Ramos was even hit with a Gatorade dump behind home plate while he appeared to try to make sense of what he just pulled off. It was officially a hit, two errors and a run. WALK OFF LITTLE LEAGUE HOME RUN FOR HELIOT RAMOS! — Jomboy Media (@JomboyMedia) April 27, 2025 'Tell me you've seen that one before!' NBC Sports Bay Area announcer Duane Kuiper said. 'Well, not since my oldest son was 10 years old,' analyst Mike Krukow responded. The hit was Ramos' second of the day. The 25-year-old holds a .234 batting average with 10 RBI and three home runs this season, his fourth with the franchise. The win pushed the Giants to 19-10 and gave them back-to-back wins over the Rangers after dropping the opening game of the series Friday. While Ramos' hit shouldn't have been anywhere near good enough to push the Giants to the win — he was the first batter up in the inning, and it didn't even make it past the mound — the Rangers fell apart at the worst time. The loss is sure to sting for quite some time.

Missing woman found dead in Fresno County, Turlock police report
A woman who went missing May 2 in Newman was found dead in Selma in Fresno County, the Turlock Police Department said Monday night. The Selma Police Department notified Turlock police that it was investigating the discovery of a deceased person. Turlock police said the person matched the description of 44-year-old Kelsy Ramos. Detectives from the Stanislaus County city traveled to Selma and confirmed Ramos' identity. Both agencies ruled out foul play at the scene. The Selma Police Department will continue leading the death investigation, and the official cause of death will be determined pending coroner and toxicology reports. Ramos' family was notified, police said. 'To Kelsy's family, friends, and loved ones — our hearts are with you. We ask our community to join us in lifting them up during this incredibly difficult time,' the Turlock Police Department posted on Facebook. Ramos was last seen by family members around 10:30 a.m. May 2 in Newman. By 10:55 a.m., she was reportedly in Turlock, driving her white 2017 Nissan Versa near Fulkerth Road and Countryside Drive. Later that day, at 3:23 p.m., her vehicle was confirmed to be in Fresno on West Shaw Avenue. She was reported missing to Turlock police at 3:39 p.m. the same day. A Facebook group titled 'Finding Kelsy Ramos' was created by Ramos' mother, Teri Ramos, to aid in the search and has already gained nearly 2,000 followers. A missing-person flyer shared in the group notes that Ramos took blood pressure medication, which she did not have with her.
