In the face of authoritarian attacks on our democracy, intergovernmental coalitions protect our elections and ensure every person’s vote is counted. Yesterday, I joined @chuygarcia.house.gov to host an election protection roundtable with election officials, government agencies,

The MAGA Supreme Court is letting Trump continue third country deportations, for now. Trump and Miller are sending people to countries they don’t belong to, where grave human rights violations happen, to be tortured and in some cases killed. This cruelty and injustice must end.

The fossil fuel folks donated big to Trump and his campaign, and now Trump is returning the favor by allowing them to pollute our air and destroy our planet. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/13/c...

Thank you, @chuygarcia.house.gov, for providing a platform to acknowledge the families targeted in our communities and to stand together in their defense. Your immigration status does NOT determine the status of your humanity, and Chicago will never stop standing up for one another.

Last fall, ICE and CBP launched an all-out assault on Chicago with Midway Blitz. It’s been a year of peaceful resistance and advocacy against their illegal mass deportation operation.   Yesterday, I was proud to stand with @chuygarcia.house.gov and continue the fight to protect our community.

25 years ago today, our nation suffered a horrific attack of terror. Today we honor the lives lost, the brave first responders, the communities that came together to clean up and rebuild, and all the families forever affected by that tragic day. We will never forget.

If you believe Trump will give you $5K if Republicans keep control of Congress, I have a bridge to sell you. This con man is trying to buy your vote.

I oppose the closing of the National Archives facility in Chicago. The lack of transparency surrounding this decision has only deepened the loss it would represent for researchers, historians, dedicated employees, and our community. I urge the National Archives to reconsider this decision.

On the 61st anniversary of Medicare and Medicaid, I joined my brothers and sisters in calling on Congress to protect and strengthen these vital programs, while continuing the fight for a universal health care system that guarantees quality, affordable care for everyone.

Innocent children are being locked away and traumatized at the Dilley Trailer Prison. They are fed food with worms and mold, drinking water that makes them sick, and being denied medical care. Shut down Dilley! No child should have to suffer like this.

It’s impossible to focus on learning if you’re scared of ICE, or afraid for your friends & family. The Right to Learn Act address what kids really need - safe classrooms & school supports for students & families. Thank you @chuygarcia.house.gov @repbonamici.bsky.social & Rep. Correa for this bill.

Students can’t learn when they’re living in fear. ICE raids and brutality have left many children afraid about their families and friends and themselves. I’m leading the Right to Learn Act with @chuygarcia.house.gov to protect public schools from harmful immigration enforcement activity.

IT'S TIME TO END THE ICE AGE. No more half-measures. Dismantle DHS. End for-profit detention. Stop criminalizing immigrants. Build a fair, accountable immigration system rooted in dignity. Pass the Melt ICE Act. That's what our communities deserve.

No child should have to learn in fear, & no school should have to endure the trauma of immigration enforcement in their community. That’s why I introduced the Right to Learn Act w/ Reps. Correa, Omar, & Bonamici to help schools & students confront these cruel Trump policies.

We should not give one more cent to Trump and Hegseth to start more wars of choice, while our constituents can’t make ends meet. We should be funding healthcare, education, and housing, not war, death, and destruction. Read my full statement below:

Dreamers, TPS, and DED recipients are at risk because of Trump’s mass deportation machine. It’s time for Congress to act and provide them with the certainty and pathway to citizenship they deserve. That’s why I’ve joined an effort to force a vote on the American Dream and Promise Act.

ICE has killed another person. This pattern of violence and blatant disregard for human life cannot continue. There must be a full, independent investigation into every single death involving ICE, and accountability for all crimes committed by its thugs.

The affordable housing bill becomes law tonight—with or without Trump's signature. It’s beyond shameful he refuses to sign a bipartisan bill that would help lower housing costs all because he wants to pass a restrictive voting measure that would help him rig the midterms.

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was a hardworking father and husband. ICE fatally shot him while he was on his way to work. There must be a full, independent investigation. ICE has shown us it cannot be trusted to investigate itself.

This cruel decision puts hundreds of thousands of vetted, long-settled people at risk of detention and deportation, tearing mixed-status families apart. Congress must act now to protect TPS holders and provide a clear pathway to citizenship.

Trump abruptly canceled the signing of a bipartisan, bicameral bill that would make housing more affordable. This was a major win for the American people, but the President has decided to hold it hostage until his bill to destroy democracy is passed.

Inflation keeps rising. Higher gas and electricity prices are forcing people to make hard choices. And instead of helping families get some relief, Trump just signed a package giving $70 billion more to ICE and CBP.

I am outraged to learn that the Trump administration is again forcibly separating and traumatizing families, even when immigration officials know some of these families cannot legally be removed. This is cruel and morally wrong, and we will fight against these removals.

What is Trump increasing the budget for? One word–war. As he proposes to cut 73 billion for housing, food, education, and health, he is asking for 1.5 trillion for the Pentagon to continue to do more destruction.

This Tax Day is a reminder of where your money went in 2025: ❌ $4,049 for weapons and war ❌ $1,870 for Pentagon contractors ❌ $136 for nuclear weapons ❌ $119 for mass deportations and detention How we use our money reflects our values. It’s time we use it to invest in life—not death and destruction.

Rep. Correa & I led 86 colleagues to demand answers from DHS Sec. Mullin on why DACA recipients are facing major renewal delays—causing financial hardship, job loss, and even detention and removal. DACA recipients deserve protection & a pathway to citizenship, not to be failed by their government.
