This is false, or more specifically, it's satire. After President Trump was gifted with a $400 million Boeing 747-8 from Qatar, jokes started spreading around about other politicians using their power to receive multi-million dollar gifts from other countries. The joke about Hakeem Jeffries being gifted a $1.2m luxury apartment by Mexico came from a Facebook page called America's Last Line of Defense, which creates satirical posts. "The bio for the Facebook page read, 'The flagship of the ALLOD network of trollery and propaganda for cash. Nothing on this page is real.' The image of Jeffries included with many of the claim's reposts displayed an 'S' for "satire" label in its lower-left corner." (Lines) While Anna Paulina Luna's post also include the satire label, its not fully known what her intentions were, though with her being a part of the Republican Party and Jeffries being at part of the Democratic Party, it might not be too far of a reach to say that her intentions were ill.
