Joaquin Castro urged fellow House members to reject Republican calls for US military action to stem flow of fentanyl from Mexico

Joaquin Castro says he intends to file a resolution in the US House as soon as Friday reaffirming the federal government’s “commitment to respecting the sovereignty of Mexico and condemning calls for military action without Mexico’s consent and congressional authorization”.
