On Tuesday's broadcast of MSNBC's "Rachel Maddow Show," 2020 presidential candidate former HUD Secretary and former San Antonio Mayor Julián Castro (D) stated that career government officials "are our great hope in those departments to do the right thing, to expose the cruelty and the evil that is happening, to do what they can to call attention to what they see." He also called on those career government officials "to do what they can to push back to stop this cruel agenda" on immigration.
