Disgraced Puerto Rico Governor Ricardo Rosselló Expected to Step Down
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Puerto Rico Governor Ricardo Rosselló is expected to resign today. El
Nuevo Día first reported the news late last night. Rosselló has faced
nearly two weeks of mass protests demanding he step down, following a
massive leak revealing sexist, homophobic and violent text messages
exchanged between Rosselló and government officials, in which he mocked
victims of Hurricane Maria and joked about shooting San Juan Mayor
Carmen Yulín Cruz.
