Congressman Greg Casar, representing Texas's 35th District, recently took to social media to voice his concerns on a series of policy issues. Casar, who has been serving in the U.S. Congress since 2023, replaces previous Representative Lloyd Doggett. He continues to use his platform to push back against policies he finds troubling.

On April 14, Greg Casar expressed his concerns over the treatment of undocumented immigrants. He wrote "First, they said they’ll send undocumented immigrants with no due process to a foreign prison camp. Next, they said any immigrant — documented or not. Now, they say it’s citizens. And that once they send you even on accident, they can’t bring you back."

The following day, April 15, Casar turned his attention to financial decisions impacting research funding. He tweeted "To pay for tax cuts for billionaires, Trump and Musk are cancelling research that could help cure cancer, Alzheimer’s, and diabetes. It’s inexcusable and true to form."

Later that same day, Casar addressed legal actions taken by a former U.S. president. He stated "Donald Trump is defying a Supreme Court order to bring back a man he illegally sent to a foreign prison. Kilmar Abrego Garcia has not been accused of any crime. He was in the United States legally. He must be brought home. The rights of all Americans depend on it."

Greg Casar, born in 1989 in Houston, Texas, now resides in Austin. He completed his undergraduate degree at the University of Virginia in 2011.
