DEL RIO, TX – Congressman Tony Gonzales (TX-23) on Friday led a congressional delegation of 13 members for a border tour in Del Rio. The visit included a briefing by Del Rio Sector Border Patrol agents, tour of a migrant detention facility, a border technology demonstration, roundtable with local business owners and a visit of the Del Rio International Bridge and Port of Entry. This was the largest congressional delegation to visit the border to date.

“Our border crisis has impacted the Del Rio community in a major way,” said Congressman Gonzales. “The area has sadly become the perfect case study for how inaction from the White House is hurting our border communities. It’s inspiring that a large group of my colleagues committed their time to seeing these impacts firsthand. From security to business to trade, Republicans are laser focused on tangible solutions in Congress.”

Members of the trip included Cliff Bentz (OR-02), Ken Calvert (CA-42), John Curtis (UT-03), Andrew Garbarino (NY-02), Carlos Gimenez (FL-26), Bill Huizenga (MI-02), Chris Jacobs (NY-27), Young Kim (CA-39), Peter Meijer (MI-03), Carol Miller (WV-03), Mariannette Miller-Meeks (IA-02), John Rutherford (FL-04), David Valadao (CA-21).
