San Antonio students! The 2026 Congressional App Challenge has launched! Have an idea for an app? Now’s your chance to build it.

Her attorneys have appealed her deportation. Locking up a mother and her child doesn’t make our country safer. It only makes a family suffer. Hopefully their appeal will be granted.

Adela can't tolerate the food, is very stressed, and can’t sleep. Dilley is no place for a woman recovering from childbirth.

Just two months after giving birth to her son, Adela Nohemy Castellanos is locked away at the Dilley Trailer Prison with her 10-year-old daughter, Sofia. They are separated from dad and three other siblings.

Three years on, working toward peace is more urgent than ever. Israelis and Palestinians alike deserve dignity, freedom, and self-determination. I am committed to working with any partner who shares in the vision of the two peoples co-existing.

Today we remember the victims of Hamas’ brutal attack on October 7th. We join the families in mourning loved ones who never returned home, and the hostage victims that will be forever scarred.

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.

Americans are getting swept up in Trump’s immigration dragnet. Over 500 U.S. citizens that we know of. Even more that we don’t. ICE’s lawlessness spares no one.

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.

In Congress, I'll keep fighting to permanently stop the project, which would damage Big Bend's natural beauty and the local economy alike.⁩⁩

Texans know Big Bend is one of our greatest natural treasures. And it belongs to all of us. It's great news that a federal judge halted construction of Trump's reckless border wall that would run through it.

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?

A new detention center would only deepen that harm and be a blow to the local economy. Thank you to everyone who is using their voice to stand up against ICE in our community and across the country.

Alongside elected officials, we heard from witnesses—including legal advocates, faith leaders, and former law enforcement—about how ICE's presence has already hurt families, workers, and public safety in San Antonio.
