Last week, I had the privilege of introducing @pressley.house.gov as she accepted the Citizen Action Illinois' Distinguished Service Award. Congresswoman Pressley is a force of love, justice, truth, and empathy. I am honored to call her a colleague, a friend, and a sister.

Trump, Miller, and Markwayne's shameful campaign to deport children is morally bankrupt—toddlers are facing deportation proceedings without representation. Unacceptable! We must reimagine what true safety and security looks like. My Reimagining Safety Act will dismantle DHS and Melt ICE!

While the Supreme Court has temporarily allowed Trump to resume his life-threatening third country deportations, the fight is not over! The Court will decide if third country deportations are lawful.

DHS has spent billions of taxpayer dollars on ineffective, negligent technologies with zero accountability or transparency. It's time to reimagine what true safety and security look like and how we achieve it.

Stephen Miller, the architect behind Trump’s white supremacist, fascist mass deportation campaign, has led the push to deport more than 200,000 children. His cruelty has caused so much pain and trauma.

Heads up, #IL03! Early voting has begun in Illinois. As we head to polls to exercise our democratic right to vote, let’s make sure to know our rights. We will not be intimidated by an authoritarian government looking to disenfranchise our communities!

"Wasted" is a generous way of saying that for profit companies made millions off the suffering of our communities through DHS. We have plenty of reasons to dismantle DHS, end detention, abolish ICE, and root out corruption.

From Iran to Cuba, the warmongers in office can’t be trusted! We can’t allow Trump, Hegseth, and Rubio to conduct another unlawful military operation against a sovereign nation! Congress must reconvene immediately and pass a Cuba Wars Powers Resolution.

The SAVE program is a Trump administration voter-suppression tactic. It's disappointing that the Supreme Court decided to capitulate to and enable an authoritarian, again. States must hold the line and do everything in their power to protect voting rights and our democracy!

Straight from the authoritarian playbook, Trump banned journalists and brought in his own propaganda crew.    Trump doesn't want you to question his corruption or ask about high prices; he just want to be flattered and fawned over.

From its establishment, DHS has always been empowered to violate our rights under the pretense of securing our safety. We cannot assure our security by sacrificing our humanity, dignity, or liberty.

DHS must be dismantled, piece by piece, and something new - a system that honors our rights, our dignity, and our humanity - must be built.

DHS has NEVER demonstrated a commitment to our rights, due process, the rule of law, or human dignity.    We must reclaim our dignity, restore due process, and end detention in all its forms.    That starts with passing my Melt ICE Act and dismantling DHS.
