Acting ICE Director Lyons has committed to speaking with our community and listening to our serious objections about the warehouses in Socorro.
I look forward to seeing that happen.
I can’t be clearer: we do not want ICE to continue with their plans to hold 8,500 migrant detainees in warehouses in our community.
I don’t buy it when the Trump administration says they’re defunding the IRS because it’s too intrusive to the average American.
It’s because they’re protecting billionaires from paying their fair share.
The Trump administration has severely reduced funding for the IRS. But if the IRS has a return on investment for our country and helps us fight tax fraud, why would they slash its funding?
Because it’s all part of Project 2025.
“It’s rife with fraud when you do it, but safe and secure when I do it.”
This vote didn’t include any funding for ICE OR CBP…
Well I didn’t and I won’t.

Sixteen years ago, the Affordable Care Act was signed into law— a historic victory that allowed millions of Americans to access health care.
Today, health care is under attack by Republicans. House Democrats are fighting to keep health care affordable and accessible for all Americans.
March 19th, 1966 is an iconic day in El Paso history.
60 years ago today, Texas Western (now UTEP) won the 1966 NCAA title when legendary coach Don Haskins started five Black players for the first time in tournament history.

If you or someone you love has been sexually assaulted or are experiencing distressing feelings, you are not alone.
You can contact the National Sexual Assault Hotline at 800-656-4673 or the suicide crisis hotline at 988.
We will continue to uplift farmworkers and their families, and celebrate their fight for justice and fairness. Chavez’s name should be removed from all our public landmarks and buildings, and I am eager to work with the community on next steps.
The credible allegations against Cesar Chavez for rape and sexual abuse are horrific. My heart is with the survivors who, for decades, have seen their abuser lauded as a hero.
As one of them says: “The movement — that’s the hero.”

Here’s one of my threads explaining: bsky.app/profile/repe...
Republicans gave DHS an unprecedented $191 BILLION.
That could fund every single DHS agency until the end of 2027.

Camp East Montana - the $1.24 billion migrant detention facility in El Paso - has been disastrous and inhumane. DHS’s plan to warehouse human beings here is even worse.
I’m proud of our local coordinated effort to prevent it. We won’t stop until this horrific idea is rejected.
NEW: with Kristi Noem out and mass deportations polling badly, ICE's $38 billion warehouse conversion plan is in trouble and DHS officials say a "pause" wouldn't be a bad thing www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...
That tent facility should be shuttered, and ICE’s plan to literally warehouse 8500 human beings in Socorro should be terminated. The United States already has the largest immigration detention network in the world, and these added facilities serve only as tools for the administration’s inhumanity.
