ICE Update: 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos detained www.youtube.com/live/GA8subF...
I am aware of reports that five-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos may be in San Antonio. My staff and I are doing everything we can to locate him, check on his safety and demand his release. I will inspect the Dilley Detention Center next week.
Israel is actively stealing Palestinian land in the West Bank. Palestinians are being forced to leave and their homes are being destroyed.
Secretary Rubio has acknowledged that these actions undermine peace. I joined my colleagues to demand Secretary Rubio stand up against Israel’s bullying.
Texans paid $1,210 more last year because of inflation. Folks can’t afford to pay for Trump’s obsession with Greenland too—new tariffs and higher interest rates are pushing up prices.
When will Republicans in the Congress finally say no to this President?
It was an honor to march alongside thousands of San Antonians to honor the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
His words of hope and justice continue to resonate with many. Today we renew our commitment to uphold these values.
Celebrating MLK Day in San Antonio
Today, we honor the legacy of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and carry on his fight toward freedom and justice for all people.
Yesterday, I voted no on the Financial Services and State Department Funding Bill. Here’s why:
There’s a lot going on: ICE agents are abusing our communities and the nation is at the brink of more forever-wars.
None of this is leaving folks in San Antonio or the country better off. We need to focus on making healthcare affordable.

I am introducing legislation with @repgregstanton.bsky.social and @sarajacobs.house.gov to block taxpayer dollars from being used to fund military force in Mexico—one of our closest allies and trading partners—without the consent of Congress and the American people.
Going to war with Mexico risks destabilizing the region, mass migration, human rights abuses, and wastes our taxpayer dollars.

We have a choice to make: support hardworking families in America or spend billions—if not trillions—in Venezuela to make Trump and his cronies richer.

I received an intelligence briefing on Trump’s plan for “running” Venezuela. It sounded like it came from ChatGPT.

"They have turned [ICE] into a rogue organization. And I've said it before: I think that it should be disbanded."
Rep. @joaquincastrotx.bsky.socialfrom Texas reacts to the breaking news that ICE agents shot and killed a woman in Minneapolis during an immigration raid.

Venezuela oil money is "going to end up in a slush fund for Donald Trump.”
Rep. Joaquin Castro joined @mehdirhasan.bsky.social to discuss the absurdity of Trump controlling Venezuela’s oil revenues and pretending it’s for people's benefit.

I just voted YES to extend healthcare subsidies that keep folks insured. My own insurance went up $2,400 this year. Others have been hit even harder.
It just passed in the House.
Keep making your voices heard—it is working! 17 Republicans voted YES. Now, the Senate must do the same.
Under the Trump administration, ICE has become a rogue agency. It should have no role in immigration enforcement.
Renee Nicole Good was a mother of three. She was a writer and poet. Yesterday, an ICE agent shot and killed her. She had joined countless other Americans in protest of ICE’s cruel and unlawful tactics. I join the nation in mourning her loss.
