Within hours of President Donald Trump’s inauguration, the new administration took down the Spanish-language version of the official White House website. The site now gives users an ‘Error 404’ message. It also included a ‘Go Home’ button that directed viewers to a page featuring a video montage of Trump in his first term and on the campaign trail. The button was later updated to read ‘Go To Home Page’.

Hispanic leaders and communication strategy experts expressed surprise with the page’s removal, given Trump’s popularity with certain Latino voters. Trump had also removed the Spanish version of the page in 2017. At that time, White House officials said they would reinstate it. President Joe Biden reinstated the page in 2021.
