Adela, mom of newborn, has been released from Dilley. Thank you to everyone who spoke up! #EndChildDetention #ShutDownDilley

I visited Octavio Daniel Cabrera Valdez today at the Karnes detention center. He told me he was served rice and beans with a stone in it and cracked his molar. He needs surgery yet ICE has only given him ibuprofen. This kind of medical neglect is common. Octavio should be released, reunited with his family, and...

Today’s violent attack is an example of why Congress should take up my bill, the Stop the Settlements Act, which would impose sanctions on anyone looking to take Palestinian land. Dozens of Israeli settlers attacked Palestinian villagers during an olive harvest in the West Bank. Washington Post journalist Heidi...

Innocent children at the Dilley Trailer Prison are suffering. Trump is responsible for their trauma. While he's in San Antonio today, I challenged him to join me in Dilley, look these children in their eyes, and tell them they deserve this.

Donald Trump will be in San Antonio tomorrow. I invite him to visit the Dilley Trailer Prison, and see for himself the trauma he is inflicting on children and babies, some as young as two months old.

Just got another hardworking young man with no criminal record (who came in 'the right way) out of Karnes Detention Center. President Trump, you'll be in San Antonio on Wednesday. Come see the Dilley Trailer Prison that traumatizes young children.

Trump is coming to San Antonio Wednesday. I invited him to the Dilley Trailer Prison. He should face the children he’s traumatizing. Can the president look these innocent children in the eyes and tell them they deserve to be there?

Pedro Mendoza Chavez was caught up in ICE’s dragnet in San Antonio, leaving him hospitalized with a head injury that required stitches. His wife has no idea where he is and has not been able to speak with him. My office is in contact with his family, and we will continue monitoring his case.

The way ICE has treated Wilbur Garcés Pérez amounts to torture. All of this with a bullet lodged in his back and unable to move the left side of his body. Tomorrow I will visit Wilber with Congressman Greg Casar and report back on his condition.

Update on the condition of Wilber Rafael Garcés Pérez at the South Texas Ice Processing Center. He’s being taken to the hospital. He is in tremendous pain and tells us that the bullet is still inside his left side. He can’t move the left side of his body.

An ICE agent shot Wilber Rafael Garcés Perez in Austin on Sunday. Instead of receiving medical care, he was sent to an ICE prison. No pain medicine, made to sleep on the floor, and threatened with deportation. Under Trump, ICE has become rogue, lawless, and deadly. I'm joining my colleagues to call for an...

Trump's mass deportation campaign is ripping away workers from construction sites, farms, and hospitals. Americans are paying for it.

Trump invadió Venezuela y se apoderó de sus campos petroleros hace nueve meses. Desde entonces han cambiado de manos miles de millones de dólares y no sabemos quién se está beneficiando. Presenté una moción para solicitar la comparecencia de la Administración Trump y obtener respuestas sobre su acuerdo petrolero...

Trump invaded Venezuela and took over its oil fields nine months ago. Billions of dollars have changed hands since and we don't know who is benefiting. I offered a motion to subpoena the Trump Admin and get answers on its oil deal to work with corrupt actor Alejandro Betancourt and his company. Republicans voted to...
