My wife, @ltmphd and I were privileged to join @TXCivilRights on a border tour in South Texas.

We visited colonias without water or electricity, heard from healthcare workers serving the largest uninsured community in the U.S., and crossed into Matamoros, where asylum-seeking families wait in tents but hold onto hope.

What we saw was not the dangerous region portrayed in media, but a vibrant community. As Luz said: "This is not a crime-place, this is a family-place."

Thank you @RochelleMGarza and @TXCivilRights for showing us the strength of South Texas.

⚠️#SB4 UPDATE⚠️ The Supreme Court paused SB4 from taking effect until March 13. Earlier, the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled it could take effect Sunday, March 10.

We’ve filed with @ACLU and @ACLUTx at the Supreme Court to block SB4.

For now, SB4 is NOT in effect.

UPDATE: Federal court temporarily blocks Texas #SB4 anti-immigrant law. As of now, the law will not take effect on March 5th.

Judge Jackson has spent her entire career committed to ensuring that all people have access to equal justice under the law.

And her confirmation today is a critical step toward a judicial system that reflects all of our communities
