I’m alarmed by the President's threat and reports of Iranian attacks on desalination plants in Kuwait, which endanger civilians in the region.

Indiscriminately targeting civilian infrastructure like power plants and desalination plants, as the President is proposing, is a war crime. apnews.com/live/iran-wa...
The Trump Admin and U.S. Ambassador Mike Huckabee must put all possible pressure on the Israeli government to secure the freedom of worship for Catholics in Jerusalem during Holy Week.
Israeli police blocked the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem from celebrating Palm Sunday Mass at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem, for the first time in centuries. www.cnn.com/2026/03/29/m...

We are four weeks into a war where both sides have targeted each other's nuclear facilities.
We risk nuclear disaster. Yet the main Trump official on arms control refused to answer my question on Israel's nuclear capabilities and told me to ask the Israeli government.
As a country we have made the decision to commodify child suffering.
We have allowed investors to profit from the imprisonment of innocent children. Some are as young as two months old.
We must shut down the Dilley trailer prison and #FreeOurChildren.
In San Antonio, we honor the legacy of women leaders who have changed our community for the better. Margarita Huantes’s work shared the power of education. Carmen Tafolla’s poetry told the Mexican American story. Beatriz Llamas’s music preserved our folk traditions.
This Women’s History Month, I am co-sponsoring the 2026 Equal Pay Day Resolution. Across the country and in every field, women have made important contributions. And yet, women continue to be paid less than men. For Latina women, the disparity is even greater.

We cannot normalize ICE inserting itself into our daily lives.
Here is a reminder: ICE agents do not belong at airports. ICE agents do not belong at polling stations. ICE agents do not belong undermining our rights and hurting our communities.
@congressmanraja.bsky.social, @sylviagarcia.house.gov, @ramirez.house.gov and I are demanding answers from new DHS Secretary Mullin on why ICE is illegally targeting Dreamers. These folks continue to meaningfully contribute to our communities. We must stand up for them.
Just this week, a judge ordered the return of a woman who was wrongly deported—a DACA recipient who had lived in the U.S. for 27 years. It’s cruel and we won’t stand for it.
ICE is detaining DACA recipients—Dreamers who have legal protections and call America home. In Texas, ICE ripped a father away from his wife, children, and newborn daughter who was in the NICU.
Call my San Antonio office at 210-348-8216 for any questions or visit castro.house.gov/art.
Calling all San Antonio high school artists! If you are in #TX20, come be a part of the 2026 Congressional Art Competition. The winner will have the opportunity to visit the Capitol and have their artwork in the halls of Congress for one year.
I will continue to inspect ICE prisons and work to release families. Together, we will shut down Dilley and #FreeOurChildren.
Showing up is half the battle. Your calls and efforts matter and have led to the release of children and families who do not belong behind bars. The Trump Administration says it's targeting criminals, but none of the families at the Dilley trailer prison have committed a crime.
Trump’s war in Iran is causing energy prices to soar. In San Antonio, gas is up 40%. Texans and Americans do not want and cannot afford this war.
Tulsi Gabbard, Director of National Intelligence, confirmed that Israel has different objectives in the war in Iran than the U.S. This is a serious admission. Entering a war alongside an ally with different goals threatens our ability to achieve peace.
Liam Ramos and his father have been denied asylum. They never even got the chance to make their case before a judge. It is wrong, cruel and cannot stand. My office and I are in touch with the family and their representatives who will appeal this decision. We will keep fighting.
