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.

Our economy benefits from our strong partnerships with Mexico and Canada. At the North Capital Meridian Diplomacy Forum, we discussed tackling trade challenges and addressing threats from arms trafficking to trade wars.

Dr. Ezequiel Véliz will be home soon! He was living in the states for nine years with his U.S. citizen husband and practicing medicine in an underserved South Texas community when ICE targeted him. He should have never been locked away.

It was great to meet with the Organization of American States (OAS) Secretary General Albert Ramdin to discuss how the United States and the Latin American & Caribbean region can work to promote fair elections. I look forward to our continued work strengthening the region and our partnership.

Going to Laredo to visit Juan Velasco, a DACA recipient picked up by ICE while on his way to visit his newborn in the NICU. The Trump Administration has arrested hundreds of DACA recipients since January 2025. These are good, hardworking people. Not criminals. youtu.be/PEdzeF4HVNc?...

Last year, Dr. Ezequiel Véliz was named 2025 Resident of the Year at UT Health, Rio Grande Valley. Last week, ICE detained him in McAllen, Texas—ripping him away from his family, his life, and his patients.

Update: Just inspected San Benito facility that holds pregnant teenage girls. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZFTr...

The President is threatening genocide and possible use of nuclear weapons against Iran. It’s clear the President has continued to decline and is not fit to lead. The members of his Cabinet must invoke the 25th Amendment immediately.

The President’s threat to destroy Iranian civilization suggests he’s either considering using a nuclear weapon or wants Iran to believe he would. Israel and Iran have already struck close to one another’s nuclear facilities.

Update on the San Antonio ICE Raid from November + Visiting San Benito facility for pregnant teenage girls on Tuesday + Returning to Dilley on Wednesday. youtu.be/wKxdIcs6lUU

The president is asking for an extra $350 billion for his reckless war against Iran. I will vote not fund this illegal war, and will vote no.

Last night, the President tried to convince the American people of a war they do not want and cannot afford. Instead of dragging the U.S. into another forever war, the Trump Admin should focus on lowering the cost of things like rent, childcare, and healthcare.

Two-year-old Kaleth and his mom are home. During his time at the Dilley trailer prison, Kaleth was sick—he could not eat the food from CoreCivic, was vomiting, and ran a fever while detained.

It’s deeply disturbing that ICE is going after families at the Marine Corps graduation ceremony in South Carolina. Our servicemembers who answer the call to serve deserve to celebrate this special moment with their families. How is this making our country safer?

We are four weeks into a war where both sides have targeted each other's nuclear facilities. We risk nuclear disaster. Yet the main Trump official on arms control refused to answer my question on Israel's nuclear capabilities and told me to ask the Israeli government.

As a country we have made the decision to commodify child suffering. We have allowed investors to profit from the imprisonment of innocent children. Some are as young as two months old. We must shut down the Dilley trailer prison and #FreeOurChildren.

This Women’s History Month, I am co-sponsoring the 2026 Equal Pay Day Resolution. Across the country and in every field, women have made important contributions. And yet, women continue to be paid less than men. For Latina women, the disparity is even greater.

We cannot normalize ICE inserting itself into our daily lives. Here is a reminder: ICE agents do not belong at airports. ICE agents do not belong at polling stations. ICE agents do not belong undermining our rights and hurting our communities.

Showing up is half the battle. Your calls and efforts matter and have led to the release of children and families who do not belong behind bars. The Trump Administration says it's targeting criminals, but none of the families at the Dilley trailer prison have committed a crime.

Trump’s war in Iran is causing energy prices to soar. In San Antonio, gas is up 40%. Texans and Americans do not want and cannot afford this war.

Tulsi Gabbard, Director of National Intelligence, confirmed that Israel has different objectives in the war in Iran than the U.S. This is a serious admission. Entering a war alongside an ally with different goals threatens our ability to achieve peace.

Liam Ramos and his father have been denied asylum. They never even got the chance to make their case before a judge. It is wrong, cruel and cannot stand. My office and I are in touch with the family and their representatives who will appeal this decision. We will keep fighting.
