For some context: Almost exactly 2 years ago, then-Minority Leader for the House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi visited El Paso. We hosted a round table for her comprised of immigrant rights advocates and attorneys to discuss everything happening on the border. 1/https://twitter.com/elpasomatters/status/1289644998783311872 …

Once sworn into Congress, we requested support from EPPD, from a training on safety for citizens attending my town hall meetings (after death threats against me, my family and staff), to a meeting in our office to talk through security concerns w/ immigrant rights advocates. 3/
