Draft:Claudia Uceda

Claudia Uceda is an Emmy award-winning Peruvian-American news correspondent for the Univision Spanish-language television network. She is featured nightly on the network’s main national newscast, Noticiero Univision, and is a regular contributor to Noticias Univision Edición Nocturna, ¡Despierta América! and Univision’s various other shows and digital platforms.

Career
Uceda joined the Univision network in 2017 as a Washington-based national correspondent covering the United States Congress, the White House and government agencies. Some of her high-profile stories include the historic impeachment trials of President Donald Trump ; the nominations of four Supreme Court Justices Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh , Amy Coney Barrett and Ketanji Brown Jackson ; the longest U.S. government shutdown in American history, and the ongoing battles over immigration issues in the House and Senate. She has also covered immigration, politics, crime and other news stories from various locations around the country.

Uceda reported live from the deadly car attack at an anti-racist demonstration in Charlottesville, VA, on August 12, 2017. She was also front and center in the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol by violent protesters trying to stop the certification of Joe Biden’s election as President.

In 2019, Uceda reported extensively on undocumented immigrants employed by two of President Trump's properties, including the restaurant at his Trump International Hotel, just a few blocks from the White House. She was the first to reveal that that the Trump Vineyard in Charlottesville, VA, relied on work by undocumented immigrants. A report containing interviews with some of those immigrants aired in May of 2019, and they were laid off the following December, as the harvest season ended.

Prior to joining the network, Uceda was a reporter and anchor with the Univision local affiliate, WFDC Channel 14. She covered two presidential inaugurations and visits from two popes. She was the first reporter to track down Daisy Cuevas, the 7-year-old daughter of an undocumented immigrant who made international news when she asked First Lady Michelle Obama during a grade school press event why her husband was deporting undocumented immigrants.

Personal life
Uceda is the daughter of noted Peruvian journalist Ricardo Uceda Pérez and the wife of Brian Mooar, a former reporter for NBC News and The Washington Post.
