The Public Record
Joaquin Castro is an American politician serving as the U.S. Representative for Texas's 20th congressional district since 2013. A member of the Democratic Party, he has focused on issues such as immigration reform, healthcare, and education. Castro has been an advocate for policies that support the Latino community and has worked to address economic disparities in his district. He is known for his vocal opposition to certain policies of the Trump administration, particularly regarding foreign aid and disaster response.
Under the public service loan forgiveness, borrowers who have made 10 years of payments while working for certain public service jobs, would have their Federal student loan balances forgiven in full as you know.
I have concerns about prescribing the consequences before we have confirmed the culprits here, and so I feel that this is a bit premature.

Like many Americans, I reacted to the events of August of this year with sorrow.

But with every political opponent either imprisoned or forced to flee, the signs point to Ortega being elected for a fourth term on November 7th.
The House of Representatives must urgently pass the RENACER Act which will strengthen oversight of funds provided by international financial institutions.
I am frustrated that the International Monetary Fund recently provided $350 million to the regime.
I want to take this opportunity to express my support for the thousands who have been the victims of Ortega's brutal crackdown on human rights.
Nicaragua should be suspended under the International Democratic Charter on November 8.
Today I reiterate the long-standing call for the immediate release of all political prisoners in Nicaragua.
I think it is necessary that the United States stands up to this threat to freedom in the region and stands behind those fighting to bring democracy back to Nicaragua.
I want to ask you, Mr. Secretary, as you have done this very hard work, and your people at the department are stretched thin because the Senate has not confirmed these nominees, what would you say to Senator Cruz who is singlehandedly…
This isn't because President Biden has not presented nominees. It is because a single Senator has thrown a tantrum.
I have no further requests at this time, and I reserve the balance of my time. Mr. McCAUL. Mr. Speaker, I am prepared to close, and I yield myself such time as I may consume. First, I thank the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee…
I continue to be moved by their plight for their freedoms and their fight for their freedoms...
We should point out only Congress can provide a permanent solution for DACA recipients through legislation.
