But they are refusing to take responsibility for this grave error and bring Mr. Garcia back home to the United States, where his wife and child are. They must do so now.

The Trump Administration admitted it made a mistake deporting Kilmar Abrego Garcia to El Salvador, even though he had protected status in the United States and had no criminal record.
I had a great time hearing from you all at Saturday’s town hall with Rep. Fischer and Mayor Nirenberg.
Every time we gather, I am reminded of the power of unity and how much we can achieve when we work together.
Thank you all for coming out.
I will support lawsuits, vote to block his funding, and support his removal.
Who the hell thinks it’s a good idea to stop trying to prevent HIV and infectious diseases?
I have never heard a single constituent - Democrat or Republican - ask for this level of crazy shit.
These guys are going to get many Americans killed.
President Trump is trying to destroy unions, who have been the driving force for protecting workers’ rights for over a century.
We need to continue to fight back and fight for hardworking folks who serve the American public. They should not be under attack and this order cannot stand.
Republicans in Congress need to decide if they care more about Elon Musk's money and staying in good standing with Donald Trump than our national security.
Donald Trump nominated and put into place the most unqualified cabinet in American history. They are threatening our national security, putting servicemembers at risk, and insulting the American people.
I just questioned our nation’s top national security officials in the House Intelligence Committee hearing. They could not admit that the messages in their signal chat were classified. This is ridiculous, they know better, and they are lying to the American people. Pete Hegseth must resign.
Thank you to the Center for Effective Lawmaking for this honor. So much of the legislative process is a grind and requires incredible patience and persistence. I want to recognize my staff for their hard work throughout the years on behalf of Texans and all Americans.
San Antonio: This Saturday at 10 AM I’ll be joining State Rep. Trey Martinez Fischer and SA Mayor @nirenberg.net for a townhall. We want to hear from you. RSVP now! tinyurl.com/TMFTOWNHALL
This is reckless behavior that directly jeopardizes U.S. national security and the safety of our servicemembers in the Middle East. This should stun all Americans regardless of political party.
Every single government official on this group chat needs to be held accountable.
Senior Trump administration officials, including the Vice President, Secretary of State, Secretary of Defense, and CIA Director, discussed military strikes on an unclassified group chat. They even accidentally invited a journalist to that chat.
Just like César Chávez stood up, we must continue to fight and speak up. The future of our country depends on it.
It was great to be on the west side of SA yesterday where I grew up and on a very special day. César Chávez helped change American society. He stood up for people in the fields that were being abused and exploited, and gave them a voice.
My grandmother, after working for many years as a cook, a maid, and a babysitter, depended on her Social Security check to live. The Commerce Secretary clearly doesn’t care about the challenges our seniors face. Trump’s entire Administration needs a reality check.

Hey a quick heads up… I’m on at 5p ET/ 2p PT today. @joaquincastrotx.bsky.social and Comedian Matt Friend joining me for this TGIF LGTFO edition of “The Jim Acosta Show.” See you soon!
Education is the backbone of our country and getting an education is a critical part of the American dream. An attack on the Department of Education is an attack on all of us and we will not go down without a fight.
These cuts could lead to larger class sizes, loss of critical school programs and access to affordable college tuition. Trump’s dog and pony show is not only weakening the Department but our future workforce across the board.
