Ahead of the 2026 midterms, Televisa Univision President Ignacio Meyer is calling for a revamping of political priorities with the key Latino voting bloc, «a sleeping giant that is no longer sleeping.»
«Hispanic voters are largely sophisticated, are largely independent, and they want to be swayed by issues,» Meyer told Axios publisher Nicholas Johnston on Saturday at a SXSW event in Texas, urging both major political parties to «look at how they’re speaking to Hispanic voters.»
«They do not want to be spoken to about partisan politics.»
With the 2026 midterms prepped to set the table for the U.S., Congress and the White House, Meyer added the Latino vote is «largely up for grabs» and there is a «big disconnect» with it.

«The Hispanic population has been called the great sleeping giant,» he added. «It’s no secret that it’s no longer sleeping. They’re awake. They’re influential, the largest growing demographic in the United States across culture, sports, news, any one of the segments.»
President Donald Trump’s border security and legal immigration policies are a lot more popular with Latino voters than Democrats might have imagined. Trump won more than 48% of the vote in his sweeping 2024 presidential election, winning all of the key battleground states.
Meyer pointed to the recent Texas primaries, saying addressing Hispanic voters in their language is key, urging spending early and often – a boon for his network.

«Those that did their homework won,» he said, adding those that didn’t «lost, and they lost big.»
«I’m not a huge expert on politics,» he admitted, trying to play both sides to keep the campaign funds flowing in the political battlegrounds, but «balance of power in both the House and the Senate is going to be swung by very few races this year.»
«Out of all of those races, every single one has a high-density Hispanic population. Every single one of those voting blocs is up for grabs, and they want to be spoken to about the issues that are important to them.»

Univision is the largest American Spanish-language television network, targeting Latino audiences, and is the way to speak to Hispanic voters «in their language,» which politicians do not do enough, according to Meyer.
«Why would our civil servants not speak to us in the language and the culture that we deserve to be spoken to, and talk to us about the issues that we deserve to be spoken to?» he asked.
«I think people would like to oversimplify what it’s like to be a U.S. Hispanic in the United States. When you come from another country, you have to fight for your place with different circumstances, different language.»

Latinos should not be a «check-the-box» voting bloc to reach.
«Big growing population, check the box, spend X amount of money, spend it late – only in that window – and let it go: It’ll work,» he said of miscalculating political campaigns. «Well, there’s no magic.»
«It takes commitment.»

Rep. Greg Casar, D-Texas, who also spoke on the panel, said Democrats’ losses among Latino voters reflect a broader disconnect with working-class concerns. He argued the party must focus on economic issues such as lowering prices and improving household finances to regain support.

Iran arrests dozens accused of spying for Israel in new internal crackdown

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Iranian authorities say they have arrested dozens of people accused of spying for Israel across several provinces, according to state media reports over the weekend.
Fars, a news agency affiliated with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), reported Sunday the West Azerbaijan prosecutor’s office had arrested 20 individuals in the northwestern city of Urmia for allegedly providing Israel with information about military, police and security sites.
On Saturday, Iran’s Ministry of Intelligence said it had arrested several «enemy operatives» across the country, including a 10-member group in Mazandaran province and another 10-member network in Khorasan Razavi province, according to Tasnim, a semi-official news agency.
Authorities said the suspects transferred the locations of military installations and economic infrastructure and shared coordinates of public places, academic institutions and research centers with Israel.

In southern Khuzestan province, intelligence officials also reported arresting a three-person «terrorist team» accused of carrying out armed attacks against security forces and government facilities.
The Wall Street Journal reported last week that Israel has relied on tips from ordinary Iranians to identify targets for strikes inside Iran, citing a senior Israeli security official.
The newspaper said information about potential targets is sent through Israeli Persian-language social media accounts and is verified by Israeli authorities before strikes are carried out.

In a separate development, Bahraini authorities said Sunday they arrested five people accused of passing sensitive information to the IRGC and helping recruit operatives for potential attacks inside the country.
According to a statement from Bahrain’s Police Media Center, the suspects allegedly collected and transmitted coordinates and images of sensitive locations, including hotels, to the IRGC.

The five detainees were referred to Bahrain’s Public Prosecution, while a sixth suspect identified in the case is believed to be a fugitive abroad.

Top California librarian questioned about missing $650K tied to Dolly Parton child literacy program

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
California state librarian Greg Lucas is facing scrutiny from lawmakers after roughly $650,000 tied to a statewide literacy program connected to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library could not be accounted for.
The issue surfaced during a Thursday Senate Budget and Fiscal Review Subcommittee No. 1 on Education hearing, which examined how funds were distributed for California’s participation in the book-gifting program.
Documents shared by the subcommittee as part of its hearing agenda claim that a nonprofit created to help administer the program reported spending roughly $1.2 million, while bank statements provided to Senate budget staff showed $555,000 in expenditures, leaving about $649,000 without supporting documentation.
«I find this to be incredibly concerning,» said state Sen. Sasha Renée Pérez, D-Pasadena, chair of the subcommittee. «There’s $650,000 that’s been unaccounted for in a program, a bipartisan effort that was intended to increase literacy among children. This is incredibly serious.»

State Sen. Shannon Grove, R-Bakersfield, also criticized the lack of documentation, saying the situation raised serious concerns about transparency and oversight.
«That makes no sense,» Grove said during the hearing. «And that reeks of horrific no transparency and potential fraud.»
The California state library did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
Lawmakers said Senate budget staff had requested financial records from the Strong Reader Partnership, the nonprofit created to help administer the program, multiple times, including receipts, invoices and bank statements to corroborate expenses.

According to the subcommittee, those requests were made on several occasions between November 2025 and February 2026, but the documentation had not been provided.
During the hearing, Lucas acknowledged that lawmakers had received bank statements accounting for roughly $555,000 in spending but disputed the claim that the funds were unaccounted for.
«I don’t believe that’s correct,» he said. «I mean, we received a final report on the disposition of the money by the Strong Reader Partnership, which has expressed, and we’ve passed this on to you as well, the difficulty in obtaining some of this information because they no longer have any money or members of the partnership since the money was transferred to the Imagination Library.»
He added that his agency has repeatedly asked the nonprofit for additional records and pledged to continue requesting the information.

A spokesperson for the state library told ABC10 in a statement: «The California State Library takes seriously its responsibility to ensure transparency and accountability in the taxpayer dollars entrusted to it. The State Library has provided the Legislature with all documentation in its possession and has repeatedly requested additional records from the Strong Reader partnership. The California State Library remains committed to cooperating fully with all legislative oversight and maintaining accountability in the administration of public funds.»
Pérez gave Lucas seven days to produce the financial records, saying the subcommittee expected invoices and receipts detailing how the money was spent.
