Castro, Casar Push the Trump Administration for Answers on San Antonio ICE Raid | U.S. Congressman Joaquin Castro The Official U.S. Congressional website of Congressman Joaquin Castro

Read the full letter below: castro.house.gov/media-center...

There are serious questions surrounding the ICE raid in San Antonio.

Teenagers—even a baby—were caught up in the chaotic scene. There needs to be accountability and transparency.

I am demanding answers from ICE and other agencies, alongside @repcasar.bsky.social

Jonathan Pollard is a convicted traitor who provided highly sensitive national security information to the Israeli government. He did grave harm to our country.

It’s unacceptable that Ambassador Huckabee secretly met with Mr. Pollard, a convicted traitor, at the United States Embassy.

Gov. Abbott and Trump’s illegal redistricting plot backfired. It set off a national movement to level the playing field. And yesterday, the courts struck down their illegal maps.

But this should have never happened. Americans deserve fair and equal representation.

Today, the House passed legislation that takes us one step closer to releasing the Epstein files.

This is not about political gains. This is about the truth.

Today is a good day for democracy in Texas!

The courts blocked Gov. Abbott and Trump’s illegal power grab. Their racist re-districting attempt would undermine the voting power of Latino and Black communities. They failed. This is the right decision.

The admin has been trying to gut FEMA since Trump took office. They slashed funding and pushed out seasoned emergency management experts.

When deadly floods hit Central Texas, David Richardson—the head of FEMA—was nowhere to be found.

We owe it to every Texan to demand better.

There was an ICE raid in San Antonio yesterday. I am monitoring the situation and have asked local and federal authorities for more information.

Here is what we know so far: youtu.be/H8rZNaGzNHs

YouTube video by JoaquinCastroTX Congressman Castro Provides Update on New Emails Linking Trump with Epstein Files

New emails show how involved President Trump was with Epstein—including how he spent hours with one of Epstein's victims. Now, he’s attempting a cover up. Americans deserve transparency and the victims deserve justice. youtu.be/Rf0RiiWKM8w?...

I voted no on this disastrous bill. Texans deserve healthcare they can afford. More below:

I voted no on this disastrous bill. Texans deserve healthcare they can afford. More below:

Republicans have been MIA for 6 weeks, refusing to extend healthcare subsidies. Now countless Texans won't be able to pay for skyrocketing premiums.

I’ll keep fighting because affordable healthcare is a worthy cause.

📺: @jimacosta.bsky.social

Republicans refuse to lower healthcare costs. Older Texans that are too young for Medicare will be hit the hardest.

Theresa Hebert is one of the more than 3 million Texans who rely on healthcare subsidies. Without ACA tax credits, her premium will cost $1,000/month.

Trump said he would release the Epstein files—until he realized he was in them.

We are watching a cover-up in real time. There needs to be accountability. The victims deserve justice.

UK pauses intelligence-sharing with US on suspected drug vessels in Caribbean Rare rupture between military allies comes as concerns grow over Trump administration’s lethal sinking of boats

The UK has allegedly stopped sharing intelligence with the US used to fight drug trafficking. The Trump Admin is alienating our allies who want no part in their illegal campaign of government sanctioned killings in the Western Hemisphere.

I was honored to present U.S. Army Specialist Alfredo Gutierrez with the Purple Heart and six other distinguished military service medals for his heroic actions during the Vietnam War. On behalf of a grateful nation, thank you for your sacrifice and service.

Veterans day is around the corner. My district office joined Project MEND’s Salute to Our Veterans celebration and shared with the community ways our office can be helpful.

If you are a veteran and need help accessing the care and benefits you’ve earned, call our office at 210-348-8216.

In San Antonio, I met with faith leaders Father David Garcia, Luis Martinez, Dustin Martin, and Sister Constanza Fernandez. Thank you for your leadership in our community and w/ @catholicrelief.bsky.social to address hunger around the world. Your work reminds us of the importance of serving others.

Thank you for your decades of service For the People, Speaker Emeritus.

During my time in Congress, I have had the honor of calling Nancy Pelosi a friend and colleague, where I have seen her vision and perseverance firsthand. I am grateful for her work to fight for Dreamers and to create a pathway to citizenship. She has a made a profound contribution to our nation.

Most recently, she played a key role in passing the ballot measure in California to counteract racist redistricting in my state of Texas.

Nancy Pelosi is a history-maker. As the first woman House speaker and leader of the Democratic party for twenty years, she was instrumental in securing marriage equality, affordable healthcare, and infrastructure investments.

U.S. weighs deportation of Nicaraguan activist to Honduras Nicaraguan activist Yadira Córdoba has been detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) since August 20, when agents arrested her during a routine check-in at federal immigration court in Sa...

Yadira Córdoba has been detained by ICE since August.

After her son was killed by the Nicaraguan government for protesting the authoritarian regime, she joined the fight for freedom.

She deserves asylum—not deportation that puts her life in jeopardy. www.tpr.org/news/2025-11...

Donald Trump and the Republicans tried to weaponize SNAP benefits thinking it would force Democrats to cave on fighting for affordable healthcare.

Now, the courts are forcing Trump to release SNAP benefits and we’re still fighting for coverage that’s affordable for everyone.

Go out and vote today!

I am glad to see that many folks have already voted early and made their voices heard.

Governor Abbott cares more about helping ICE than he does helping Texas families keep food on the table.

Republicans are ripping away ACA premium tax credits, causing healthcare costs to soar by 35% in Texas on average.

Just look the premium rates for 2026 compared to last year. Many families won’t be able to afford it!

Republicans need to reopen the government and work with Democrats to lower costs.

I am proud to celebrate COPS/Metro, which for 50 years has shaped life in San Antonio for the better.

COPS/Metro continues to bring together people of conscience to call out ICE for its brutality and lawlessness, stand up for our community, and protect due process and the rule of law.
