A Democrat running for the U.S. House from Texas is calling for a prison camp in America for “American Zionists” and says the same facility could be a “castration processing center for pedophiles, which will probably be most of the Zionists.”
It is Maureen Galindo, running for Texas’ House District 35, a sex therapist and housing activist, who unleashed on Jews.
TX-35 Democratic candidate Maureen Galindo says she will convert ICE detention center in Karnes County into an internment camp for “American Zionists.”
“It will also be a castration processing center for pedophiles, which will probably be most of the Zionists,” she added.

Constitutional expert Jonathan Turley warned against dismissing the rant.
“It is the same message that has echoed through the ages,” he said. “Galindo’s writings are a chilling insight into the twisted logic and rationalization of the anti-Semitism sweeping over the country. It would be a mistake to dismiss Galindo as an isolated extremist on the left. These voices are growing and hatred for Israel becomes a rallying cry at protests.”
He cited Galindo’s desire to turn the “Karnes ICE Detention Center into a prison for American Zionists and former ICE officers for human trafficking.”:
Turley noted, “According to recent polls, two-thirds of Democrats (67%) now support Palestinians over Israel (17%). Almost sixty percent of Democrats have a negative view, and only 13% holding a positive view of Israel.”
“Galindo clearly believes that she can garner greater support with such hateful rhetoric. She added that she will make the ICE Detention Center ‘a castration processing center for pedophiles, which will probably be most of the Zionists,'” Turley noted.
“While she has a free speech right to espouse such views, we have the same right to condemn those remarks as despicable,” he said. “Galindo is particularly vile in her comments. In other social media posts, Galindo has accused ‘billionaire Zionists’ of controlling San Antonio and South Texas trafficking networks. When confronted with her comments by Texas Public Radio last week, Galindo insisted that her campaign against ‘Zionist Jews’ is in no way anti-Semitic.”
