Proud to visit with Rep María Salazar and @repescobar.bsky.social with Carlos and Angela Della Valle! Salazar and Escobar coauthored the Dignity Act, which provides a pathway for spouses of US citizens to stay together and other fixes to our broken immigration system. Thank you!

Congress has spoken. The House and the Senate have both voted on a war powers resolution to end the illegal, costly war that Trump and Netanyahu started in Iran. His terrible judgment has gotten American service members killed, created chaos and made the price of gas skyrocket. End the war now.

ICYMI: Trump is using money from National Park entrances for his vanity projects in DC. Instead of repairs and investments at some of our nation's treasures, we're getting tacky "beautification" projects being handed out in overpaid, no-bid contracts. www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

Hate should have no place in America.   Happy Pride Month! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

Republicans’ One Big Beautiful Bill already kicked millions of Americans off their healthcare coverage.

That wasn't enough for Trump and Co. as they’re now moving to remove people with cancer from their coverage. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/01/u...

What should be a milestone celebration of our country is turning into a Trump rally. On YOUR dime. www.notus.org/trump-white-...

In the eight times I’ve been to Camp East Montana to conduct oversight, the conditions of the facility have only deteriorated. 🧵 www.texastribune.org/2026/05/30/t...

Instances of people impersonating immigration agents increased by at least SIX times the yearly average in 2025. I again renew my calls to pass the VISIBLE Act, that would be a small step toward improving credibility and public safety. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

I’m deeply honored to receive Annunciation House’s Voice of the Voiceless award. To be recognized by an outstanding organization that does such meaningful work for our community is incredibly humbling.

This Memorial Day, my heart is with the families of service members who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country.    We owe it to our fallen to build a nation worthy of their sacrifice and uphold the values they fought for. Today & always, we honor their memory.

ICYMI: As a member of the MILCON-VA Subcommittee, I worked to ensure this bill delivers meaningful progress for our service members, our veterans, and communities like El Paso. www.elpasotimes.com/story/news/m...

500,000 Texans, including thousands of El Pasoans, are going to have a harder time putting food on the table because of Republican cuts to SNAP.   While we fight unnecessary wars and give money to domestic terrorists, more Americans are going hungry. www.texastribune.org/2026/05/20/t...

This is precisely the kind of taxpayer-funded torture detainees are subjected to at Camp East Montana. www.texastribune.org/2026/05/20/e...

When those in positions of public trust proudly display their racism and bigotry this way, they give others permission to do the same. Shame on Nancy Mace. This disgusting, hateful targeting of our colleagues is beneath even her.

Why does anyone believe anything Donald Trump says anymore?

🤌🏽

I've seen gross incompetence and medical negligence during my oversight visits to Camp East Montana. It was once unimaginable to me that such an incapable company was allowed to keep their massive, multimillion dollar contract to treat humans so poorly. www.pogo.org/investigates...

Public officials shouldn’t be trading stocks. Period.

Families are struggling to pay bills, crushed by Trump’s economy. Instead of helping you, Trump is using $1.8 billion in YOUR taxpayer dollars to enrich criminals. This is an outrage. Will ANY Republicans help us stop this?

Mt. Cristo Rey's cultural and religious significance is central to our region. Seizing this community asset in order to build a border wall is consistent with the Trump administration’s blatant disregard for what communities like ours value.

Republicans refused to join us in extending tax credits for the ACA and the American people are paying the price. www.notus.org/healthcare/a...

There is an acknowledgment from Republicans and Democrats in Congress that the status quo cannot remain.

The Dignity Act is a solution. I believe the best time for reform was long ago, the second best time is right now. www.texastribune.org/2026/05/11/t...

Instead of suspending the gas tax, Trump could also just… end his illegal war in Iran?

Thank you to everyone who attended my town hall on Saturday at Del Valle HS!

As a former educator, I know that behind every successful student is a teacher who believed in them first. Those educators, whose tireless work makes learning meaningful every single day, deserve our deepest gratitude. Happy National Teacher Appreciation Day!

Star Wars is one of the most anti-authoritarian series ever created. Donald Trump as the Emperor…now THAT would be accurate.

The CDC is blocking a report that shows COVID vaccines reduced emergency department visits and hospitalizations among healthy adults by about half this past winter.   Why? Officials say it's because the vaccine’s benefits conflict with RFK Jr.'s views. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2026/...

Republicans always have more money for war, but never enough to feed hungry Americans.

El Paso: make your voices heard about the Fort Bliss Data Center this Wednesday at 6:30pm at the Wyndham El Paso Airport Hotel Conference Center!

Acting ICE Director Lyons has committed to speaking with our community and listening to our serious objections about the warehouses in Socorro. I look forward to seeing that happen.

I can’t be clearer: we do not want ICE to continue with their plans to hold 8,500 migrant detainees in warehouses in our community.

I don’t buy it when the Trump administration says they’re defunding the IRS because it’s too intrusive to the average American. It’s because they’re protecting billionaires from paying their fair share.

The Trump administration has severely reduced funding for the IRS. But if the IRS has a return on investment for our country and helps us fight tax fraud, why would they slash its funding? Because it’s all part of Project 2025.

“It’s rife with fraud when you do it, but safe and secure when I do it.”

Sixteen years ago, the Affordable Care Act was signed into law— a historic victory that allowed millions of Americans to access health care. Today, health care is under attack by Republicans. House Democrats are fighting to keep health care affordable and accessible for all Americans.

March 19th, 1966 is an iconic day in El Paso history. 60 years ago today, Texas Western (now UTEP) won the 1966 NCAA title when legendary coach Don Haskins started five Black players for the first time in tournament history. www.elpasotimes.com/story/news/h...

The credible allegations against Cesar Chavez for rape and sexual abuse are horrific. My heart is with the survivors who, for decades, have seen their abuser lauded as a hero. As one of them says: “The movement — that’s the hero.” www.nytimes.com/2026/03/18/u...

Republicans gave DHS an unprecedented $191 BILLION. That could fund every single DHS agency until the end of 2027. www.fwd.us/news/dhs-fun...

Camp East Montana - the $1.24 billion migrant detention facility in El Paso - has been disastrous and inhumane. DHS’s plan to warehouse human beings here is even worse. I’m proud of our local coordinated effort to prevent it. We won’t stop until this horrific idea is rejected.

While I’m relieved that Acquisition Logistics has been fired by DHS, they should also be investigated for the fraud they’ve perpetrated on the American taxpayer. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

I support funding the Transportation Security Administration, FEMA, and other agencies under DHS, which is why I have instead signed on to a bill that provides a full appropriation for all of DHS excluding ICE and Border Patrol. 🧵

Kristi Noem goes down as one of the most - if not the most - corrupt, incompetent Homeland Security Secretaries in our country’s history. Her firing was long overdue.

🚨 CAMP EAST MONTANA REPORTEDLY SET TO CLOSE The Trump administration has used El Paso as ground zero for its sick, twisted immigration enforcement policies for years, and Camp East Montana is no different. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

Camp East Montana, which is run by Acquisition Logistics, a private corporation with no prior experience in running immigration detention facilities, is closed to visitors and attorneys until March 19th or 20th because of a measles outbreak. 🧵

Congress and the American people deserve transparency from a Department of Defense falling woefully short on keeping us informed.   Between the airspace shutdowns in El Paso and Fort Hancock and the friendly fire that shot down three F-15s, we deserve answers. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/02/w...

In June of last year, the Trump administration declared to the world that Iran’s nuclear program was “completely and totally obliterated.” 🧵

It should come as no surprise that there is a measles outbreak at Camp East Montana. 🧵 elpasomatters.org/2026/02/26/m...

Today, I - along with Rep. Pramila Jayapal, Ranking Member of the Immigration Integrity, Security, and Enforcement Subcommittee, and 22 other Members of Congress - sent a letter to DHS Secretary Kristi Noem and ICE Acting Director Todd Lyons calling for the immediate closure of Camp East Montana.
