His father has been in the United States since 2005, working as a roofer and building a life in Austin for his family. My office has been working around the clock to get Santi released. We won’t stop until they’re home.
Yesterday, ICE said he could go home. Santi went to bed last night thinking he was going to be with his mom in the morning. But ICE pulled the rug from under him—preventing him from returning home where he belongs. He hasn’t showered and has only been given cookies and juice.
Leonardo Santiago "Santi" Soto Uribe should be enjoying his summer before starting 9th grade. Instead, ICE detained him and his father, Benjamin Lerma-Huipio, outside of San Antonio. ICE separated 13-year-old Santi from his father, who is being locked away at a different facility.
Instead of lowering the cost of healthcare, Trump has cost Americans $130 billion. He must immediately exit the war.
The Iran War has been a disaster.
Gas prices have skyrocketed. America isn’t safer.
Now, the House and Senate have rebuked Trump’s illegal war in Iran by passing a war powers resolution that is binding on the President.
The Senate adopted a resolution directing President Donald Trump to remove military forces from the conflict with Iran, a significant rebuke to the president and a strong message that the war lacks support in Congress. https://cnn.it/4agHI7N
The bipartisan bill now heads to the President’s desk to be signed into law.
That’s why I was proud to vote for the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act. This legislation takes on the housing crisis from multiple angles. It bans corporate investors from buying up single-family homes, speeds up the construction process, and allows banks to invest in more affordable housing.
The dream of homeownership shouldn’t be out of reach for Texas families. Yet in San Antonio, the median home price has risen from $188,000 in 2014 to nearly $290,000 today.
What began as freedom delayed, Texans turned into a moment to celebrate the joy, resilience, and contributions of Black Americans. On Juneteenth, let us share both the joy and the work ahead in fulfilling our nation’s promise of freedom for all.
My office has requested the Department of Defense provide a full accounting of the outbreak and investigate the circumstances of the trainee’s death. For the wellbeing of our servicemembers and community, public health policies must be guided by science, not politics.
At the Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, nearly 160 servicemembers are now ill. I am especially concerned by the tragic death of a trainee this past week.
After Secretary Hegseth scrapped the military’s flu vaccine mandate, it was only a matter of time before an outbreak occurred. It was a reckless decision that put troops in harm’s way and undermined our military readiness.
Tomorrow, I will meet with Octavio to make sure he is okay and to check on conditions at the facility. Octavio should be released immediately and reunited with his family.
He had a valid work permit. He was caring for his mother and father. His parents and family members are U.S. citizens. He was working and contributing to his community. ICE is going after members of our communities, like Octavio, and tearing families apart in the process.
He was at work—providing for his children—when ICE took him away. Octavio has been held in an ICE detention facility since April. Because he was the sole provider for his family, his partner and children have been forced out of their apartment.
Octavio Daniel Cabrera Valdez was building a life for his family in San Antonio. He has an 8-year-old son and a 4-year-old daughter who depend on him.
Yet Donald Trump is gutting these offices and destroying opportunities for our students.
Education is the cornerstone of the Infrastructure of Opportunity, helping all students reach their full potential. The Department of Education has paved the way in protecting our students from discrimination on college campuses and supporting kids with disabilities who need extra support.
