Rep. Salud Carbajal

Since 1961, the Peace Corps and its volunteers have transformed lives around the world.

I was honored to host the recent Peace Corps informational session at Cal Poly SLO, and I was thrilled to see a huge turnout. Thank you to the Peace Corps representatives for coming to SLO to share your experiences with our students.

The Golden Bear has served students at the Cal Poly Maritime Academy for three decades. I'm proud to stand with @RepGaramendi in opposing using this vessel — or any other — for the Trump Administration's cruel immigration agenda.

Honored to join Col. Horne and his son, Asher, in hosting the Vandenberg Space Force Base Academy Info Night. Attending one of our nations military service academies is an important opportunity for young leaders committed to serving their country and pursuing a career in the military.

I would like to give a special thanks to all of the military academy representatives who gave presentations:
🇺🇲 2nd Lt. Joseph Stellmach, U.S. Air Force Academy
🇺🇲 Lt. Col. (Ret.) Dan Freedman, Air National Guard, representing the U.S. Naval Academy
🇺🇲 David Kraemer, U.S. Army and Field Force, representing West Point
🇺🇲 Cmdr. Keith Watson, Assistant Director of Admissions, U.S. Merchant Marine Academy

I would also like to acknowledge some of our incredible Military Academy Nomination Panelists for the Central Coast: Dr. Paul Webber, Dr. Steve Sabo, and Dr. James Bailey. Thank you for the time you give to help our next generation of leaders.

I would say today is a good morning, but actually, today is a VERY good morning.

A U.S. citizen student was illegally detained and injured on his way to school. Farmworkers across the Central Coast have faced enforcement actions that leave them fearful of being detained while simply doing their jobs.

ICE cannot continue operating as they are — we need safeguards and standards in place to ensure this never happens again. That's why I'm demanding answers and a full investigation. The Central Coast deserves accountability and transparency.
