Jasmine Crockett visited a Texas immigration detention center and rallied in the Rio Grande Valley as she and James Talarico intensified efforts to reach Latino voters in the Democratic Senate primary. The article also describes their competing endorsements in a South Texas House race.
Crockett visited the Dilley detention center and said detainees described poor drinking water and lack of schooling. She called for Senate Democrats to reject a House-passed measure funding the Department of Homeland Security; Senate Democrats later reached a deal with the White House for a two-week extension of DHS funding while negotiating enforcement restrictions. A poll cited in the article found Talarico leading Crockett among likely Latino primary voters by 10 percentage points.
Crockett headlined a McAllen rally with House candidate Ada Cuellar, and the two endorsed each other. Cuellar is competing against Bobby Pulido, who was endorsed by Talarico; the article describes their differing positions and Cuellar’s criticism of Pulido. It also reports that Crockett released a bilingual ad opposing ICE and supporting the impeachment of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, while Talarico bought Spanish-language ad time and launched Spanish-language social media channels.
