Despite her removal, Trump’s cruel mass deportation campaign rages on. The Congress must hold her and her successor accountable.
She was never qualified for the role, and she proved it during her tenure. Under her leadership, ICE has targeted our communities, killed U.S. citizens including a San Antonio resident, sent hundreds of children to a trailer prison, and abused her power.
Kristi Noem operated without regard for the rule of law or basic decency as DHS Secretary. She denied reality, including the fact that U.S. citizens have been arrested and detained.
Americans do not want and cannot afford another forever war. For 25 years, U.S. servicemembers have sacrificed so much because of regime change wars in the Middle East. Trump is now asking yet another generation to do the same.
How is this America first? I am voting against Trump's war with Iran.
The single biggest buyer of crude oil from the Persian Gulf is China - as much as 40 percent.
This certainly looks like the United States will be subsidizing and protecting oil shipments to China.
The President just announced that the United States government will provide insurance and U.S. Navy escorts for oil tankers in the Middle East after causing a regional crisis by going to war with Iran.
Very few, if any, of these tankers are coming to the United States.
The Trump Administration needs to do more than just offer travel tips to Americans stranded and in danger in the Middle East.
If other countries can send planes to evacuate their citizens then our country should be able to as well!
Secretary Rubio's remarks indicate that Israel put U.S. forces in harm's way by insisting on attacking Iran. And the administration was complicit—joining their war instead of talking them down.
This is unacceptable of the President, and unacceptable of a country that calls itself our ally.
Trump ripped up the Iran Nuclear Deal in his first term. Then he used the threat of Iran gaining nuclear capabilities as a justification for war.
We need to get back to the negotiating table, block Trump’s war that taxpayers do not want, and protect American troops.
Congress must continue to work to end the scourge of gun violence in our country.
A horrific shooting in Austin early this morning outside a popular bar took the lives of three people and injured fourteen more.
No one should fear facing violence on a night out. The victims and their families are in my thoughts and I am praying for the recoveries of those hospitalized.
Rather than making life affordable for Americans, the President has dragged our country into yet another war in the Middle East. When Congress returns, we must immediately vote on the War Powers Resolution to stop this war that the American people did not vote for and do not want. My full statement:
I am urging Secretary Noem and DPS Director Martin to immediately release all body-camera and dash-camera footage, along with radio, text, and phone communications from officers before and after the shooting.
For nearly a year, ICE and Texas DPS covered up an ICE shooting that left San Antonian Ruben Ray Martinez dead. His family deserves justice and the public has the right to know the truth.
One teen boy I met had excruciating stomach pain and was made to wait several hours to see a doctor—he had appendicitis. ICE cannot meet the basic needs of the children it’s imprisoning. Dilley must close and we must #FreeOurChildren.
There have been at least 11 medical emergencies at Dilley trailer prison requiring EMS. I have heard story after story of ICE failing to provide proper medical attention to children and families. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...
Shah Alam's death is a tragedy. Trump’s mass deportation campaign is costing lives. It must be stopped.
I am devastated to hear of the passing of Nurul Amin Shah Alam. He was a refugee of the Rohingya genocide living in Buffalo, New York. Border Patrol agents wrongfully detained him and dumped him on the street in brutal winter conditions. Blind and walking with a cane, he died trying to get home.

Students who are interested in attending one of the academies are encouraged to come and meet with school representatives and alumni. This year, our Academy Day will take place on Saturday, March 7th, at the John Jay High School Auditorium from 10 AM-1 PM.
Every year, my office gives San Antonio students the chance to learn about attending a U.S. Service Academy through our U.S. Military Service Academy Day.
I am glad that Juana arrived without complications to her pregnancy and hope that she is doing okay.
I will continue to hold ICE accountable in their mistreatment of pregnant women.
I just learned that Juana wanted to meet with me last week when I inspected Dilley, but ICE hid all the pregnant women from me. Over the weekend, ICE deported her 36 weeks into her pregnancy.
This admin has ushered in an era of corruption and lawlessness that does nothing to improve the lives of Texans or people across the country. I will continue to work to make the infrastructure of opportunity possible for all families.
My statement on President Trump's State of the Union address:
No matter what Trump says tonight, he can't hide the stories of these children who are being traumatized.
I expect President Trump to raise the issue of immigration during his State of the Union address. I want him to know that his mass deportation campaign is breaking children like the little girl who gave me this drawing while I inspected the trailer prison he reopened.
This demands a full investigation. His family deserves justice and our communities deserve accountability and transparency.
According to Texas authorities, video evidence calls into question ICE's own accounting of the fatal shooting of Ruben Ray Martinez. A US citizen was shot and killed by ICE agents and then ICE and DPS attempted to cover it up for nearly a year. news4sanantonio.com/news/local/f...
Treating pregnant women and their unborn children with such cruelty is unconscionable. I will continue to inspect Dilley and uncover how ICE is treating pregnant women—who they hid from me during my last oversight inspection—to ensure their safety and wellbeing. We must #ShutDownDilley.
