Cuellar Says Democrats Picked Wrong 'Fight' With Abrego Garcia

Texas Rep. Henry Cuellar (D) is breaking ranks with fellow Democrats over their defense of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an illegal immigrant deported to El Salvador whom the Trump administration argues is affiliated with MS-13. READ MORE.

Rep. Pat Fallon: "We must bolster our defense industrial base to counter China's growing threat. Investing in American manufacturing & innovation creates jobs, strengthens supply chains, & ensures our military remains unmatched. This is key to deterring adversaries like China."

Texas GOP Chair Abraham George: "Voting is a sacred right of CITIZENS. Requiring proof of citizenship to vote isn't - discrimination - it's common sense. It protects our elections from fraud and ensures only those with a stake in our nation decide its future. Demand voter ID laws NOW!"

State Senator Roland Gutierrez: "ICE has deported three U.S. citizen children and denied their families access to attorneys. One child has cancer and was refused access to medication. This is cruel, inhumane, and unconstitutional. It must end now. Bring them back."

State Senator Mayes Middleton: "Safety for women and children is common sense and certainly should not be sacrificed for the left's radical gender ideology. Women should not be forcibly exposed to men in private spaces, period."
