Texas has lost one of our own. Army Pvt. Isabella Gonzales of Carrollton, Texas—just 19 years old—was killed Friday in an Iranian strike. Her family and loved ones are in my prayers.
I mourn the loss of two military heroes that made the ultimate sacrifice in service to the nation. I am praying for their families and for the recovery of several other servicemembers who were injured during the attack.
Our nation should not be involved in this war.
Abbott’s “buoy border” was a reckless idea from the very start and border communities remain collateral damage.
More than 100 of Governor Abbott’s buoys broke loose during deadly floods in Texas. Buoys with sharp razors are now causing damage to neighborhoods and have shut down a bridge that transports thousands of vehicles a day.
This is who ICE has out on our streets. This agent is a real threat to public safety unlike the man he murdered.
Thank you to all the first responders and volunteers who are working around the clock to evacuate and rescue people.
Two people tragically lost their lives in the Hill Country floods this week. Their loved ones are in my prayers. I will continue to monitor the flooding and tornado impact in San Antonio, which caused severe damage to homes, businesses, and our public infrastructure.
There are even credible reports of children intentionally shot in the head and chest.
I will vote yes on the amendment to cut military assistance to Israel.
Israel does not deserve more American money for weapons.
Prime Minister Netanyahu has taken Israel down an ugly path. Self-defense does not include indiscriminately bombing homes, hospitals, churches, schools or refugee camps.
In the cases of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo and Joan Sebastian Guerrero, they have engaged in cold-blooded murder.
In the face of this administration's racial hatred and bigotry, we have to stand up together and refuse to be silent.
ICE’s bounty hunters and agents are stalking Latinos across the country. They are looking for Latino men at construction sites and supply stores, listening for who is speaking Spanish, and stopping them.
Thank you to the communities in Houston, throughout Texas, Maine, and across the country for speaking out.
In less than a week, ICE shot and killed Lorenzo Salgado Araujo and Joan Sebastian Guerrero. Two families are now without fathers.
Congress must disband ICE. Otherwise, these killings will continue.
Another person has died at the hands of ICE in Biddeford, Maine. This tragedy comes less than a week after an agent shot and killed Lorenzo Salgado Araujo in Houston. Our communities deserve answers and a full investigation.
A person was killed in an ICE-involved shooting in Maine, state official says. It comes days after a man was fatally shot by an ICE agent in Texas.

Welcome home, Hebert! After after everything you have endured, it was wonderful to celebrate your homecoming with your wife, family, friends, and mariachi brothers and sisters. You have a special place in our San Antonio community!
I am grateful that he is home. Together, we’ll keep fighting to stop Trump’s mass deportation campaign and stand up for our neighbors.
Hebert Ibarra Castro has been reunited with his wife Marisol, family, and mariachi community.
When he was locked away in ICE detention, he performed the National Anthem on the Fourth of July. In a country that stands for freedom and opportunity, he deserves a fair chance at the American Dream.
Lorenzo's death is a tragedy. His wife has lost her husband. His sons have lost their father. We cannot allow this to happen again.
I stand with my colleagues in Congress and with the entire nation in demanding justice, including a transparent investigation and the release of all footage and evidence. I am also demanding ICE provide a full accounting of the men who were locked away after the shooting.
