Statement from U.S. Rep. Kathy Castor on Illegal Deportations in Tampa Bay
Washington,
April 25, 2025
“I am working with the family of my constituent, Frengel Reyes Mota, to help in any way I can. Tearing apart this family is cruel, plain and simple. Courts have ruled that Trump is violating the law, and people are entitled to due process under the Constitution. It is wasteful and costly for Trump to generate such chaos and fail to target criminals. “Immigration enforcement must be lawful and humane, not weaponized for political stunts. That means investing in smarter border security, expanding legal pathways, and protecting the rights of asylum seekers and immigrant families who contribute so much to our communities. The American people want a system that reflects our values, not one that rips families apart, violates the U.S. Constitution, and runs counter to human rights.” ### |
