More to come on Wednesday. Go Spurs go!

The Senate passed a bill in the middle of the night that gives ICE and CBP $70 billion to fund President Trump’s mass deportation campaign. They’re already sitting on an extra $100 billion.

The House just passed a War Powers Resolution in a bipartisan rebuke of Trump’s illegal war in Iran. It is a war that was not authorized by the Congress or consented to by the American people. The Senate should take it up immediately and put an end to the conflict.

Thank you to leaders at U.S. Global Leadership Coalition for meeting with me today to discuss how our partnerships abroad can strengthen Texas and the country. From supporting businesses to strengthening healthcare, your work is uplifting communities.

The stakes are too high to stay in the dark on Israel’s nuclear capabilities. Today, I asked Secretary Rubio if Israel has a nuclear program. He said "most of the world assesses that they do" and committed to providing more information. youtu.be/Ns9x8aSjjRM

The Trump Administration doesn’t want people to know about the brutality that takes place at the Dilley trailer prison—the only place in America where we imprison young children who have done nothing wrong.

Donald Trump is elevating an unqualified loyalist to lead our intelligence community while staying on as head of housing finance. Director of National Intelligence is not a part time gig. This will not make Americans safer or our country more secure.

Go, Spurs, Go! Bring on the Knicks!

The mother and son arrived in San Antonio this afternoon. Our children should be at school and with their family and friends. Not locked away at the Dilley trailer prison. Thank you @repgregstanton.bsky.social for seeing the conditions at Dilley firsthand and fighting against this cruelty.

From New Jersey to Texas, ICE is brutalizing innocent people who have committed no crime. These facilities—prisons—have become black boxes where people are denied basic necessities like adequate food, water, and healthcare.

Today, on Memorial Day, we honor the fallen and their families. Their sacrifice and courage in service to our nation will never be forgotten.

There are hundreds of thousands of green card applicants in the U.S. They are nurses and doctors, teachers and engineers, mechanics and farm workers. The Trump Administration wants to force them out of the country while their cases are heard.

Under Donald Trump, ICE has become an abusive, rouge organization. Governors like Texas Gov. Greg Abbott have made local police departments into agents of that abuse.

Jose Danilo Diaz Sandoval should have never been deported. He had lived in the U.S. for nearly 20 years. He met his wife here and raised a family together. He was in the process of getting a green card when his granddaughter Malani was a student in Uvlade, Texas, when tragedy struck.

Mario Alejandro Rodríguez Aranda is becoming sicker and sicker while he is being locked away in an ICE prison in Texas. He has been languishing since November. We've seen that denied or delayed medical treatment is typical for many men and women locked up by ICE right now.

The Dilley Trailer Prison is making $13.1 million every month. In America, it is now the norm to commodify child suffering and allow private investors and companies like CoreCivic to profit from the imprisonment of innocent children. Dilley must be shut down so we can #FreeOurChildren.

My prayers are with the families impacted by the tragic shooting today at the Islamic Center of San Diego. Americans should never face violence at their places of learning and worship.

Juan Chavez Velasco has been released! Juan was on his way to the hospital to see his newborn daughter in the NICU when ICE targeted and detained him. He is a DACA recipient and was a medical worker on the frontlines during the pandemic.

Darisbel Quintero Morillo and her husband Gilbert were living in Dallas and hoping to start a family. Darisbel learned that she was pregnant after she had been detained and locked away in an ICE prison.

I am proud to share that three of the songs you helped nominate were selected to be inducted into the prestigious National Recording Registry at the Library of Congress—“Mambo No. 5” by Pérez Prado, “Texas Flood” by Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble, and “Feliz Navidad” by José Feliciano.

Victor, Monserrat, and Maria are on their way home! Thank you to the entire San Antonio community for speaking out and demanding their release from the Dilley trailer prison. We will not stop until all children are free.

Dr. Rubeliz Bolivar Barrios has been released! She should never have been locked away by ICE. As an emergency and trauma doctor, she served patients in South Texas with dedication. I am grateful that she will be reunited with her 5 year-old daughter Milena and husband.

The Uzcategui-Labrador family is coming home to San Antonio! 5th grader Victor, 2nd grader Monserrat, and stepmom Maria will be released from the Dilley trailer prison, where they were locked away after being targeted at a school bus stop in San Antonio.

The students in Victor’s fifth grade class know how much he loves playing soccer. ICE targeted him and his sister Monserrat, a second grader, and stepmother at the bus stop and are currently locked away at the Dilley trailer prison.

Olivia Andre, a 19-year-old nursing student, spent six months inside the Dilley Trailer Prison. But thanks to the advocacy of her family, Congresswoman Pingree, Miss Rachel and attorneys she’s headed home to Maine this afternoon. In a few hours she’ll be home with her family. @pingree.house.gov

Nayib Bukele has long targeted journalists with spyware and intimidated them into silence or exile. With this action against journalists at El Faro, which has done excellent work exposing Bukele's ties to gangs, El Salvador under Bukele continues its descent into authoritarianism.

ICE does not want you to see the cruel reality for children and their families locked up at Dilley. Children like Victor and Monserrat who were picked up at a bus stop miss their dad and school—and it’s not just them. 93 children remain locked up and it’s not right. #FreeOurChildren

For nearly six decades the U.S. has voluntarily remained in the dark on Israel's nuclear capabilities. The ambiguity ends now.

Kevin González is only 18. He is suffering from stage 4 colon cancer and has days to live. He’s desperate to spend his last moments with his parents, but ICE detained his mom and dad after they tried to seek humanitarian asylum.

ICE targeted elementary school students, Victor and Monserrat, and their stepmother, Maria Betania, at the bus stop in San Antonio. Now, they are locked away at the Dilley trailer prison. I met with them at Dilley yesterday.

The State Department has officially terminated hundreds of Foreign Service Officers who are qualified, trained, and have years of experience.

For decades, the U.S. government has left Israel’s nuclear capabilities unacknowledged. Now, we are at war alongside Israel against Iran—our troops and the American people deserve more than ambiguity. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

ICE arrested a 5th and 2nd grader at the school bus stop in San Antonio as their classmates watched in horror. Their stepmother was detained with them. The community at Alamo Heights Independent School District elementary is speaking out—no child should be locked away at the Dilley trailer prison.

It was wonderful to celebrate San Antonio’s student artists during the Congressional Art Competition. Congratulations to our first-place winner Kimberly Campbell from Brandeis High School, whose work “Sibling Beginnings” will be displayed at the U.S. Capitol.

Dr. Rubeliz Bolivar Barrios was completing her residency in South Texas when ICE locked her away. Her colleagues call her Ruby. They say that as an emergency and trauma doctor, she serves every patient with empathy and dedication. Being bilingual, she makes people feel seen and heard.

Our democracy depends on fair representation in Congress. The Voting Rights Act gave power to communities, like Black and Latino voters, who were historically disenfranchised. Today, the Supreme Court further eroded this landmark legislation in striking down Section 2 of the law.

Wilfredo is 10 years old. Last week, he represented himself in immigration court. His mother, Nexoli, was detained in Houston and has been locked up and away from her son since December. Now, DHS wants to send him to Ecuador—a place he has never been and knows no one.

ICE has locked away members of our community that have committed no crime without bond. At the South Texas Immigration Processing Center, I met many folks who have called America home for decades and have done nothing wrong while here—and yet they are kept in ICE prisons.

UPDATE: The plane transporting the El Gamal family has been turned around and is heading back to Denver. They deserve fair treatment under the law.

The El Gamal family was locked away for nearly a year at the Dilley trailer prison. Thanks to everyone who spoke out against their imprisonment, including of the five year old twins, ICE released the family on Thursday.

Attention San Antonio Businesses: If you wrongly paid tariffs, you may qualify for a refund. After the Supreme Court struck down the President’s tariff policy, the Trump Administration is returning up to $166 billion to eligible businesses who paid duties. Click the link below to learn more.

My office received more than 400 songs and albums to be considered for the prestigious National Recording Registry. I am excited to announce the Latino titles I am officially nominating.

Wendy Vega Lores is free! Thank you to everyone who raised their voice and didn’t let up. Young people who call America home deserve to go through the immigration process and have the chance to pursue their passions, like Wendy’s dream to become a doctor.

Hayam El Gamal and her five children are set to return home after being locked away at the Dilley trailer prison for nearly a year. The judge’s order for release came earlier today. I have witnessed first-hand families being released within an hour. ICE should release the family immediately.

Wendy Vega Lores dreams of becoming a pediatrician. She finished high school in two years and began intensive prep to become a doctor. She has a pending asylum case. On her 19th birthday, ICE detained her anyway. She has been locked away for 10 months.

Happy Earth Day! Today we celebrate our progress and renew our commitment to protect this place we all call home.

ICE is running a for profit industry and locking up people like DACA recipient Juan Velasco and Doctor Ezequiel Véliz. We've seen ICE detain, deport, and kill U.S. citizens. I am voting NO on the shutdown deal. ICE does not deserve another taxpayer dollar. youtu.be/Tn9qwcgHdrQ?...

The El Gamal family will be released! Today, a federal judge ordered the end of their imprisonment at the Dilley trailer prison. They had been suffering at Dilley for nearly a year—the mother was rushed to the hospital last week and the five-year old daughter had been denied dental care.

The Passport Fair in San Antonio this past weekend was a huge success! We were able to help more than 1,100 people receive one-on-one support for their passport needs. I am glad to see San Antonians accessing this important resource.
