A shocking move by the board of Goya Foods has removed CEO Bob Unanue, the grandson of the company’s founders, from the business his family built. The decision effectively hands control of the company to corporate executives, cutting out the very people who made Goya a success for nearly 90 years.
Unanue, who led Goya for almost 50 years, turned the Hispanic-owned brand into a multibillion-dollar business. Despite his leadership, the board voted him out without explanation, leaving no doubt that he has been pushed aside. Many believe this is a direct attack on his conservative values and his outspoken efforts to fight child trafficking through the Goya Cares initiative.
I recently received news that came as a big surprise: the board at Goya decided I would no longer be a leader of the company. While the decision has left many questions unanswered, one thing is certain—I will not waver in my fight against child trafficking https://t.co/9XP3ArhuPs

For years, Unanue has been at the forefront of raising awareness about the crisis of missing children. His work alongside former Trump officials, including Tom Homan, brought national attention to the 325,000 minors who have vanished in the past two years. His leadership also extended to the entertainment industry, where he helped produce Sound of Freedom, a film exposing the brutal realities of trafficking networks.

Following the board’s decision, Unanue remained defiant, stating that he will not be silenced. He vowed to continue his fight against the exploitation of children, calling out those who want him to step away from this mission. His removal from the company only raises more questions about the forces at play behind the scenes.
As a Cuban American, who grew up on Goya, I will never buy their product again. Bob Unanue, who's family founded Goya, was removed as CEO of his own company by the board of directors. Bob is a good man who's fighting child trafficking, something doesn't add up 🤔. I’m… pic.twitter.com/fvgQYTqC6z

At the same time, a separate controversy is unfolding in the intelligence community. A recent investigation revealed that over 100 government employees participated in explicit chats using a classified NSA communication network. The chatrooms, labeled “LBTQA” and “IC_Pride_TWG,” were shut down after President Donald Trump’s executive order rolling back diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives. Officials have been instructed to revoke security clearances, with terminations expected to follow.
As Goya moves forward under new leadership, Americans are demanding answers. Many are urging consumers to contact the company and voice their outrage over the betrayal of a businessman who spent his career building the company and standing up for American values.
