Congressman Joaquin Castro Fights to Free Detained Immigrants

Congressman Joaquin Castro, a Texas Democrat, has made it his mission to shed light on the human toll of the Trump administration's hardline immigration policies. From his perch in Congress, Castro has used his platform to amplify the stories of detained immigrants, calling attention to what he sees as the cruel consequences of the President's agenda.

As a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee and the House Intelligence Committee, Castro has leveraged his official position to highlight sympathetic cases and advocate for the release of detainees. He has visited immigration detention centers, met with families of those in custody, and used his social media accounts to share the personal narratives of those impacted by the administration's approach to immigration enforcement.
