Washington | Arturo C. Olivarez, DC Press Secretary (956-970-1441), October 11, 2023

Today, U.S. Congressman Henry Cuellar, Ph.D. (TX-28) released the following statement on constituent services for TX-28 residents in Israel:

“I have personally received several calls over the past few days regarding TX-28 residents stuck in Israel amid the ongoing war. I have personally contacted my constituents over there, as well as their friends and families, and I’m working to get them out of Israel,” said Dr. Cuellar. “I immediately spoke with the White House and the State Department on this issue, and today, I received two classified intelligence briefings on the situation. Currently, flights are canceled out of Israel, but an announcement from the Biden Administration will be made soon regarding this matter. For more information, please use these Israel crisis response resources. If you’re in need of assistance, contact my Laredo district office at (956) 725-0639 and ask to speak with Sylvia Segovia, or email Ms. Segovia at Sylvia.Segovia@mail.house.gov.”
