\n

A Democratic House candidate from Texas<\/a> is fielding criticism from some in her own party after she pledged to send American Zionists to a facility currently being used to detain undocumented immigrants.<\/p>\n

In an Instagram<\/a> post last week, Maureen Galindo said she would turn the “Karnes ICE Detention Center into a prison for American Zionists and former ICE officers for human trafficking.”<\/p>\n

“It will also be a castration processing center for pedophiles, which will probably be most of the Zionists,” Galindo wrote, referring to herself in the third person.<\/p>\n

Galindo, a sex therapist and housing activist, is running for a seat in the newly redrawn 35th Congressional District, facing Johnny Garcia in a primary runoff.<\/p>\n

Galindo\u2019s runoff campaign has also drawn attention amid reports that a mystery super PAC with ties to Republicans has spent heavily in Democratic primaries to boost progressive candidates viewed as easier general election opponents. According to The New York Times, the group \u2014 Lead Left PAC \u2014 promoted Galindo in mailers highlighting her support for dismantling ICE and impeaching President Donald Trump as Republicans look to hold their narrow House majority.<\/p>\n

Her remarks, which have been called antisemitic by critics, have drawn rebuke from fellow Democrats and The New York Times, which urged voters not to allow her to win the May 26 runoff against Garcia, who is considered a moderate.<\/p>\n

In other social media<\/a> posts, Galindo has accused Garcia\u2014a former hostage negotiator and public information officer for the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office\u2014of wanting “Jews and Mexicans in warehouses.” She also accused “billionaire Zionists” of controlling San Antonio and South Texas trafficking networks.<\/p>\n

During an appearance on Texas Public Radio last week, Galindo refuted accusations of antisemitism while reaffirming her opposition to “Zionist Jews.”<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m not antisemitic. In fact, my last serious relationship was with a Jewish man,” Galindo said, as reported by The Times of Israel. “I\u2019m against Zionist Jews. When I said that the Jews who own Hollywood are doing this, do all Jews own Hollywood? No. The Zionist Jews do. The Zionist Jews own our media, our banks, and all of our politicians.”<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital has reached out to Galindo for comment.<\/p>\n

Her remarks have prompted other Democrats to distance themselves from her campaign.<\/p>\n

“This antisemitic rhetoric has no place<\/a> in our politics,” Texas State Representative James Talarico, a high-profile candidate for the U.S. Senate, told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency. “We need leadership in both parties willing to stand up and call out hate wherever it rears its ugly head.” Talarico’s campaign confirmed he will not stump for Galindo if she wins the nomination.<\/p>\n

U.S. Rep. Jared Moskowitz, D-Fla., called for national Democratic leaders to denounce Galindo’s comments. “First current political candidate suggests concentration camps for American Jews. This should be national news!” he wrote on X.<\/p>\n

In his own post on X, Sen. Ruben Gallego, D-Ariz., said Galindo should never be allowed to hold public office.<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital has reached out to both Galindo and Garcia.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
