Sen. John Cornyn: "Allowing Russian diesel fuel to be sold freely in global markets, including in the United States, weakens American security interests and helps fund Putin’s ongoing invasion of Ukraine."

Rep. Joaquin Castro: "I'm glad to see the City of San Antonio taking ICE to court. ICE wants to hold up to 1,500 people a day in an East Side warehouse next to a floodplain, and it still hasn’t told the city how it will handle water, sewage, or emergencies."

Rep. August Pfluger: "Sanctuary cities that shield criminals from law enforcement are failing American citizens and the law enforcement officers who work to protect the public."
