With 535 total members of Congress, and new ones being elected all the time, it’s nearly impossible to keep up with all of them. Still, there are many who have been around a long time and achieved senior status and respect from their peers while not becoming a household name. Such was the case for top Democrat Henry Cuellar. Here’s a short bio: Henry Cuellar has spent nearly forty years in public service, rising from local beginnings in South Texas to one of the most senior Democratic voices in Congress. Born in 1955 in Laredo as the eldest of eight children in a migrant farm-worker family, he worked his way through community college, earned multiple degrees including a law degree and a Ph.D. in government, and built a career grounded in public-sector service. Cuellar first served in the Texas House of Representatives from 1987 to 2001, becoming known for his focus on education, border issues, and pragmatic bipartisan work. In 2001 he was appointed Texas Secretary of State, the last Democrat to hold that statewide office. In 2005 he entered the U.S. House of Representatives, representing Texas’s 28th District. He has been reelected many times, giving him nearly two decades of continuous congressional service. Over that time he has held influential roles, particularly on the House Appropriations Committee, shaping federal spending in areas such as homeland security, defense, and veterans’ affairs. But that’s not why I’m telling you about him. I’m reporting on him because once again the Joe Biden Administration weaponized the DOJ and “took him out”. Why? Because he dared to speak out against Open Borders. I’ll give it to the Dems, while they don’t have morals or standards or ethics or love of this country, they do tend to stick together very well and when anyone dares to even remotely speak out against the Democrat Machine from within, they destroy you. President Trump confirmed as much in his new post explaining the FULL and UNCONDITIONAL Pardon he is issuing for Congressman Henry Cuellar: FULL TEXT: For years, the Biden Administration weaponized the Justice System against their Political Opponents, and anyone who disagreed with them. One of the clearest examples of this was when Crooked Joe used the FBI and DOJ to “take out” a member of his own Party after Highly Respected Congressman Henry Cuellar bravely spoke out against Open Borders, and the Biden Border “Catastrophe.” Sleepy Joe went after the Congressman, and even the Congressman’s wonderful wife, Imelda, simply for speaking the TRUTH. It is unAmerican and, as I previously stated, the Radical Left Democrats are a complete and total threat to Democracy! They will attack, rob, lie, cheat, destroy, and decimate anyone who dares to oppose their Far Left Agenda, an Agenda that, if left unchecked, will obliterate our magnificent Country. Because of these facts, and others, I am hereby announcing my full and unconditional PARDON of beloved Texas Congressman Henry Cuellar, and Imelda. Henry, I don’t know you, but you can sleep well tonight – Your nightmare is finally over! President Trump is systematically rooting out all weaponization of the criminal justice system, one by one! He knows what it’s like to have that machine pointed (wrongly) at him, and he’s fixing every other similar instance. Rep. Cuellar issued this heartfelt thank you to our President: I want to thank President Trump for his tremendous leadership and for taking the time to look at the facts. I thank God for standing with my family and I during this difficult time. This decision clears the air and lets us move forward for South Texas.

Henry Cuellar (@RepCuellar) December 3, 2025 I want to thank President Trump for his tremendous leadership and for taking the time to look at the facts. I thank God for standing with my family and I during this difficult time. This decision clears the air and lets us move forward for South Texas. This pardon gives us a clean slate. The noise is gone. The work remains. And I intend to meet it head on. Thank you Mr. President, God bless you, and God bless the United States of America. He also told Fox News that he plans to seek re-election and plans to work cooperatively across the aisle with President Trump: HENRY CUELLAR tells Fox’s @BretBaier on seeking re-election after Trump pardon: “I’m a conservative Democrat, I work across the lines, and I want to see President Trump succeed. It’s good for the country. We might have differences, but if I can work with him I will.” pic.twitter.com/MISOUUKeZA — TV News Now (@TVNewsNow) December 3, 2025 Another Biden injustice corrected. Many more to go.
