Republican leadership says they have been the most “productive” and “successful” Congress in decades - even though they just canceled Congress for 7 more weeks. So what have they accomplished? Great question.

Imagine if the president cared about making your life better with the same intensity and dedication he has for trolling and pettiness?

In 2024, I was proud to secure $550,000 in funding to help El Paso purchase dump trucks and a bulk-waste loader. These vehicles will remove illegally dumped waste from rural areas and county roadways, protect our waterways, and support our community during flooding and other critical emergencies.

I’m pleased to announce that the Department of Homeland Security has transferred the Socorro warehouses to the General Services Administration (GSA). This means the warehouses will be put up for sale and they will no longer be used by the federal government for detention purposes.

Every El Pasoan knows where they were on August 3rd, 2019. Today remains a solemn day, and despite the passing of time, seven years later our community continues to feel the pain, loss, and devastation from the senseless violence of that day.

Republicans are sending nearly $100 billion more of your tax dollars for a war nobody wants in Iran. They are doing absolutely nothing to address the economic crisis created by Donald Trump. Budgets and what we choose to fund are about our priorities, and Republicans aren’t prioritizing you.

Mt. Cristo Rey is a religious and cultural landmark that has been central to our community for generations. Rather than working with border communities to advance effective border security, the Trump Administration continues to disregard the people, history, and culture that make our region special.

For the first time in decades, Congress passed a bipartisan housing bill to address our nation’s housing crisis and help hard working Americans. Despite the needs it addresses and the overwhelming support it has, Donald Trump refused to sign the bill, but thankfully it became law anyway.

One year of the so called One Big Beautiful bill and working families have paid the price

Today, the Government Accountability Office released a report about the "waste and performance issues" at the $1.3 billion tent city known as Camp East Montana in my community. 🧵

Last year, Republicans already gave CBP and ICE $140 billion, $100 billion of which remains unspent. Despite American families struggling to pay their bills, Republicans want to give these reckless departments another $70 billion.

Congress has spoken. The House and the Senate have both voted on a war powers resolution to end the illegal, costly war that Trump and Netanyahu started in Iran. His terrible judgment has gotten American service members killed, created chaos and made the price of gas skyrocket. End the war now.

I’m deeply honored to receive Annunciation House’s Voice of the Voiceless award. To be recognized by an outstanding organization that does such meaningful work for our community is incredibly humbling.

When those in positions of public trust proudly display their racism and bigotry this way, they give others permission to do the same. Shame on Nancy Mace. This disgusting, hateful targeting of our colleagues is beneath even her.

Why does anyone believe anything Donald Trump says anymore?

Public officials shouldn’t be trading stocks. Period.

Mt. Cristo Rey's cultural and religious significance is central to our region. Seizing this community asset in order to build a border wall is consistent with the Trump administration’s blatant disregard for what communities like ours value.

Instead of suspending the gas tax, Trump could also just… end his illegal war in Iran?

As a former educator, I know that behind every successful student is a teacher who believed in them first. Those educators, whose tireless work makes learning meaningful every single day, deserve our deepest gratitude. Happy National Teacher Appreciation Day!

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.

Rep. Veronica Escobar @repescobar.bsky.social · 16/04/2026

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.

Rep. Veronica Escobar @repescobar.bsky.social · 15/04/2026

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.

America has lost a giant. Reverend Jesse Jackson dedicated his life to justice and opportunity, and our country is better off for it. I'm thinking of my colleague Rep. Jonathan Jackson and the rest of Rev. Jackson's family today. 📷: @nytimes.com

To my Republican colleagues, I am pleading with you for help. If the Trump administration does not care about its humanitarian responsibilities, I am pleading with you to care about the fraud at Camp East Montana, Acquisitions Logistics, and the massive expansion of migrant detention facilities.

My question to DHS: if you don’t care about the human beings in custody at Camp East Montana, will you at least care about the massive fraud?

$170 billion for immigration/border enforcement $3.5 trillion in tax cuts for the wealthy $40 billion to bail out Argentina And now a $7 million for a *Super Bowl commercial*? Budgets and how we spend our money are about priorities, and Republicans aren't prioritizing you.

Although the Trump administration reversed its decision to make its harmful cuts to behavioral and mental health funding, it did a lot of damage in the process. I just had a great meeting with many of our local organizations to hear about how this impacted them.

Multiple people have already died at Camp East Montana, and the American people deserve answers from Kristi Noem and DHS. Camp East Montana should be shut down.

I’m thankful to have joined community leaders yesterday for the annual MLK Jr. Celebration and Observance gathering at Praise Temple Full Gospel Baptist Church. In our times of great injustice, we must continue our pursuit of what is righteous in tribute to Dr. King’s enormous legacy.
