The US Senate has confirmed Raul Yzaguirre of Maryland as Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary Ambassador of the United States of America to the Dominican Republic. President Barack Obama originally appointed him on 30 November 2009. He appeared at a confirmation hearing before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on 11 March 2010, but his nomination was not confirmed until yesterday.

He is a former president of the National Council of La Raza, and was co-chair of Hillary Rodham Clinton's presidential campaign in 2007. He was born in 1939 to Mexican-American parents and raised in southern Texas. Yzaguirre has distinguished himself for his campaigns on behalf of illegal aliens in the US.
