Three hours of air-traffic control with no break—then suddenly a few seconds to stop a midair collision. He won't stay quiet anymore. “I don’t want to be responsible for killing 400 people,” he said in an exclusive interview. 🔗 Read more: buff.ly/iaoL2NO
The Constitution is clear: people born in the United States are American citizens. Birthright citizenship is an undeniable right. If Republicans want to change that, then they must amend the Constitution.
Under the Trump Administration, intelligence is being politicized and bent to the will of President Trump. That is dangerous because it intimidates intelligence analysts, undercuts the integrity of their work, and undermines our national security. castro.house.gov/media-center...
If the Administration goes through with this, it means they could throw anyone, including U.S. citizens, in jail with no warrant and no due process. This should alarm every single American because it impacts all of us.
I joined @jimacosta.bsky.social on his show yesterday to discuss my trip to Northern Mexico, where I met with an 11-year-old U.S. citizen with a brain tumor and her family. They were deported with no due process.

At the doc with my dad today. So see you a little later at around 4:30p ET/ 1:30p PT. Lots to discuss with Texas Congressman @joaquincastrotx.bsky.social and global affairs expert @eliselabott.bsky.social on the program. See you soon!

Great to see some familiar faces on Capitol Hill yesterday during National Small Business Week, where we celebrated the Latino entrepreneurs who drive the economy forward. Thank you to Aquí and the Latino Community Foundation for advocating for our community.
An update from me from Northern Mexico—today, I visited a family who was deported, without due process, from the U.S. with their U.S. citizen children—including their 11-year-old daughter who is suffering from a brain tumor.
