Jenniffer González Colón announces the departures of Francisco Domenech and Itza García

On July 21, 2026, Radio Isla reports that Governor Jenniffer González Colón gathered agency heads at La Fortaleza and announced the departure from her cabinet of the secretary of the Governorship, Francisco Domenech, and of the undersecretary, Itza García. At a press conference, she thanks Francisco Domenech for having left the private sector to contribute to the government and describes Itza García as an exceptional, intelligent, and disciplined public servant, capable of building bridges between agencies and the private sector.

The outlet places the announcement amid OPFEI investigations after complaints from former Department of Economic Development and Commerce secretary Sebastián Negrón Reichard, which also tie in OGPe and former assistant director Norberto Almodóvar. Jenniffer González Colón says Francisco Domenech will serve as secretary through August 7. Radio Isla advances in the dek that Itza García will finish August 15. Those two end dates come from the coverage. This magazine does not turn them into a criminal finding.

On July 17, NotiCel covered that the FEI Panel authorized expanding the inquiry to both, at the request of Fabiola Acarón Porrata-Doria and Ileana Agudo Calderón, with 45 initial days. On the 18th, Thomas Rivera Schatz demanded the resignations and called Executive Order 2025-008 unsustainable. On the 14th, the same senator had referred Itza García to OPFEI and Ethics. A referral, a prosecutorial expansion, a demand for resignation, and a Fortaleza announcement are four dates. This one covers the fourth.

Jenniffer González Colón does not declare her officials guilty in this piece. She speaks of a professional stage that ends and of their continuing to contribute. Thomas Rivera Schatz is not quoted here. The reader who wants the full conference has the Radio Isla URL at the foot. This is not original reporting.

This departure is also not used to reopen the Politank case that this desk covered on July 8 with a DDEC fine, nor Thomas Rivera Schatz's information request to DDEC and Hacienda on July 1. Permits, tax decrees, and cabinet are distinct threads. Here the fact is Jenniffer González Colón's announcement and the two end dates.
