.@meeks.house.gov and I demand to know the details of this deal. The Administration has twisted the law and already made a grave error sending Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a gulag in El Salvador.
I was proud to honor her in Congress by helping to get, “Selena,” inducted into the prestigious National Film Registry in 2021. May her legacy in music and beyond live on.
Happy Birthday to Selena Quintanilla! Though her life was tragically cut short, she inspired many with her powerful voice and talent.
I hope the folks at the Texas House look at the facts, see how harmful it would be to their students, and vote this down.
• cover the cost of tuition at many private schools,
• require private schools to accept your child even if you can pay the tuition,
• or account for the fact that many private schools are not equipped to provide special education or other services.
Abbott's voucher scam will harm academics and athletics in public schools yet it does NOT:
Any official involved in this disaster is breaking the law. It’s time for the Administration to be held accountable for its crimes.
Every government official who serves our country makes a commitment to uphold the rule of law and our Constitution. But this Administration is doing the opposite — slashing due process and every constitutional tenet that holds our democracy together.
The Travel Fair is open to the public but appointments are required. To reserve your spot, please call my district office at (210) 348-8216.

President Bukele is in Washington this week. Every reporter should not let him—or Donald Trump—off the hook and demand the details of these secret agreements being used to disappear U.S. residents, without due process, into gulags.
My colleagues and I have made multiple inquiries demanding the details of these agreements and information on how the U.S. is paying the government of El Salvador to detain people on our behalf.
The State Department is obligated, by law, to report such agreements to the Congress. They have not yet done so.
The Administration has admitted that they are doing this due to agreements reached with the government of El Salvador.
🧵 The Administration is indiscriminately sending people — like Kilmar Abrego Garcia — to El Salvador’s brutal prison system. Donald Trump has openly said he wants to, and will, send U.S. citizens to El Salvador next.

Elon Musk now admits his Department of Government Efficiency will produce only 15% of the savings it promised. But even that estimate is inflated with errors and guesswork. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/13/u...

Marco Rubio just announced 10 more people were sent to be imprisoned in CECOT. They were flown there from Gitmo to be imprisoned potentially for life based not on any crime for which they were convicted, but on unproven allegations of gang membership with no due process.
This is not lawful.

This is bad for national security, bad for veterans who work for the organizations and is going to really hurt San Antonio.

The administration’s cuts to HHS are cuts to Texas programs. San Antonio and Bexar County providers are making cuts to services for Texans struggling with Substance Abuse and Mental Health disorders after losing grants this week. @joaquincastrotx.bsky.social @expressnews.com @sacurrent.bsky.social
