Texas DPS pulled over Jesús Bracho as he was arriving to work. When they stopped him, he told his 9-year-old daughter Katherine to go inside his boss’ house. DPS called ICE and took Jesús. ICE agents came back and then forced him to lure his daughter out so they could take her too. She was scared and didn’t know where she was going. Katherine is a student at Bonnie Ellison Elementary. Jesús is a hardworking mechanic and doesn’t have a criminal record. They’ve been locked up at the Dilley Trailer Prison for over a month. Governor Abbott has ordered DPS troopers to help ICE arrest hardworking folks and children in our community. I am calling on ICE to immediately release Jesús and Katherine and stop fueling Trump and Abbott’s mass deportation machine. #FreeOurChildren #ShutDownDilley

Republicans refuse to lower healthcare costs. Older Texans that are too young for Medicare will be hit the hardest. Theresa Hebert is one of the more than 3 million Texans who rely on healthcare subsidies. Without ACA tax credits, her premium will cost $1,000/month.

Can Secretary Noem look at Goerge Retes, Lenardo Vanegas, and 170+ U.S. citizens in the eye and lie to their face? We’ve read the reports, heard the stories, and seen the videos. Americans citizens, including children, are being illegally detained. This is the racial profiling dragnet we warned about.

Update on the condition of Wilber Rafael Garcés Pérez at the South Texas Ice Processing Center. He’s being taken to the hospital. He is in tremendous pain and tells us that the bullet is still inside his left side. He can’t move the left side of his body.

Everyone needs to see what I saw in Eagle Pass today. Clothing stuck on razor wire where families got trapped. Chainsaw devices in the middle of buoys. Land seized from US citizens. Operation Lone Star is barbaric — and Greg Abbott is making border communities collateral damage.

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 way ICE has treated Wilbur Garcés Pérez amounts to torture. All of this with a bullet lodged in his back and unable to move the left side of his body. Tomorrow I will visit Wilber with Congressman Greg Casar and report back on his condition.

Trump invaded Venezuela and took over its oil fields nine months ago. Billions of dollars have changed hands since and we don't know who is benefiting. I offered a motion to subpoena the Trump Admin and get answers on its oil deal to work with corrupt actor Alejandro Betancourt and his company. Republicans voted to keep Congress in the dark.

112 children are imprisoned at Dilley. The youngest child imprisoned at Dilley is 2 months old. None have committed any crime. Private investors make money for each new child taken into Dilley. We need to #ShutDownDilley and end family detention.

Trump invadió Venezuela y se apoderó de sus campos petroleros hace nueve meses. Desde entonces han cambiado de manos miles de millones de dólares y no sabemos quién se está beneficiando. Presenté una moción para solicitar la comparecencia de la Administración Trump y obtener respuestas sobre su acuerdo petrolero para trabajar con el actor corrupto Alejandro Betancourt y su empresa. Los republicanos votaron para mantener al Congreso en la oscuridad.

Trump risked the lives of American troops and killed at least 40 people in Venezuela in pursuit of oil and profit. Congress must stop this reckless and illegal regime change war.

All of us have seen the tragedy of Gaza. We've seen how Netanyahu's government has used US weapons to kill indiscriminately and create famine. I will not participate in this carnage. When Congress votes on sending more offensive weapons to Israel today, I will vote no. 1/

Israeli settlers are committing record levels of violence against Palestinians in the West Bank. Instead of confronting them, the House of Representatives just passed a bill that would threaten the education of American citizen’s to protect Israeli settlements. I voted No.

In Greg Abbott’s world dumping 1.1M Texans from the voter rolls is “election integrity” but an 87 year old women helping people vote is a criminal threat to democracy that deserves a SWAT raid. Texas Republicans are desperate to hang on to power.

For each baby, child and pregnant woman thrown into the Dilley Trailer Prison, there is an American company—CoreCivic—with American investors profiting from their suffering. ICE must be disbanded and we must shut down Dilley.

ICE locked away Gabriel Johnson, a father and husband who had been living in the United States legally since he was 15 years old. While detained, ICE denied him his medication. Gabriel has since had a stroke. Half of his body is now paralyzed. ICE refuses to let him speak to his family out of fear he might tell them the Texas hospital room he is languishing in. His daughter is demanding he come home, saying, “This is not love, this is not care, this is not America.” I am asking ICE to release Gabriel immediately to reunite with his family and get the medical care he needs.

President Trump has taken us to war with Venezuela, but why? Regime change, power, graft, oil, land. On the House floor, I urged my colleagues to vote for my War Powers Resolution with Rep. Jim McGovern and Thomas Massie to block the President’s illegal war and protect American troops.

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo's last words were "me están matando"—they are killing me. Under Donald Trump, ICE has become a rogue and abusive agency. ICE is killing people in the streets. Targeting Latinos because of the color of their skin, the language they speak, and the jobs they hold. Locking away innocent children. Colluding with the likes of Governor Abbott to target communities. All to fuel the President's mass deportation for profit machine. I stand with my colleagues in Congress and with the entire nation in demanding justice, including a transparent investigation and the release of all footage and evidence. I am also demanding ICE provide a full accounting of the men who were locked away after the shooting. Lorenzo's death is a tragedy. His wife has lost her husband. His sons have lost their father. We cannot allow this to happen again.

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.
