Horrified by reports of ICE ordering agents in California to “Go after anybody.” They’re not after just anybody. They will continue their assault on immigrants and U.S. citizens with no criminal history because they have gotten away with it before. ICE should be abolished.

ICE launches California immigration crackdown. Newsom calls it ‘campaign of fear’
Dubbed internally as “Operation Safe California,” the Examiner reported, the 45-day enforcement began several days ago in the San Diego area.

Even though the President has supporters in California, he's doubling down on his comments about attacks on LA and San Diego. His rhetoric is reckless and dangerous, and Republicans should be speaking out.

Even the people they tried to get in on the corruption are asking Rep. James Comer to hold hearings on the corruption 😭

This Hispanic Heritage Month, I wanted to celebrate the Latino small businesses that strengthen our economy. I stopped by El Sabor Del Barrio in Huntington Park for some delicious sopes and tacos dorados. One of the best places in Southeast LA! So good.

Thank you to Long Beach City College for this tour of the new Trade, Technology, and Community Learning Campus. This campus has state-of-the-art equipment that will set our students up for success and good-paying jobs.

Today, I join members of our Long Beach Jewish community to honor the lives lost during the horrific attacks by Hamas on October 7. We must all recommit and work toward a lasting peace for the Israeli and Palestinian people.

Oversight Democrats will keep working to uncover any corrupt partnerships between the Trump family and large corporations. We will hold anyone harming the American consumer accountable.

The President is now telling crowds to "let" a foreign adversary "take out" Los Angeles and San Diego. These comments are downright crazy. We need to stand up to this deranged lunatic in the White House.

70% of Long Beach riders rely solely on public transportation to get around. These zero-emission buses are mostly federally funded. As a member of the Transportation & Infrastructure Committee, I want to ensure that we fund public transit in our community and across the country.

When the President’s sons are getting their weddings bankrolled by Russian oligarchs and sitting on the boards of defense contractors funded by the Pentagon, corruption IS the agenda. The American people deserve justice, and the end of Trump’s corruption will begin in November.

Trump and Stephen Miller’s ICE is out of control. Alex Pretti, a brave American and nurse, was protecting his community when ICE agents shot and killed him. Stephen Miller then tried to smear his name and lie about his death. What else is he lying about?

As Donald Trump and Kash Patel attempt to rewrite history, we know that Trump will be remembered as the worst President ever to serve. Our investigations are just getting started, and we will slow this Administration's attacks on our democracy come November.

Many of Trump's laws take effect this month, gutting Medicaid and SNAP for hardworking Americans. In my home state of California, over 650,000 people will lose access to food assistance and up to 2 million will lose health care. Trump doesn’t care about anyone but his billionaire friends.

There is no doubt in my mind that Americans are living through an unprecedented level of government corruption. When Democrats take back the House, we will have the power to hold those responsible for corruption to account. And we will do just that.

Opinion | I lead House Oversight Democrats. Corruption is making the cost-of-living crisis worse.
Some of the most powerful people in this country are profiting from the decisions they’re supposed to be making for us.

This amount of corruption is unprecedented, and Oversight Democrats are focused on four main areas: Trump family corruption, ICE and DHS abuses, corporate corruption, and justice for the Epstein survivors. We're going in hard. It's time for accountability.

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo should still be alive. Instead he was wrongfully killed by ICE agents. His son Lorenzo Salgado Jr. recalls memories of how his father inspired him and shaped him into the man he is today. Oversight Dems will get justice for Lorenzo and his family.

We secured over $1 million for upgrades to Pritchard Park in the city of Bell. So far, these funds have helped build spaces for kids to play, and soon, there will even be a new dog park. We will continue to fight for funds for cities across our community.

On January 7th, Renée Good dropped her son off at school, but never made it back to pick him up. She was wrongfully shot and killed by an ICE agent. Her brother Brent Ganger sat down with us to talk about Renée and his fight for justice. Oversight Dems will hold ICE accountable.

Proud to announce that our Common Cents Act has officially passed Congress and now heads to the President's desk. Every year, the government loses approximately $179 million making pennies. This legislation will put that money back in the taxpayers' pockets. Let's go!

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was a hard-working man wrongfully killed by ICE agents at a traffic stop. His son Ronaldo Salgado sat down to share memories of his father and make it clear that this cannot continue happening. Oversight Dems will hold ICE accountable.

The Trump family has financial ties to a Russian oligarch close to Putin. That should alarm every single American. Why does this family keep cutting deals with foreign adversaries? Oversight Democrats are investigating, and we will get the truth.

Donald Trump's plans to militarize his "Triumphal Arch" are insane, and they are disrespectful to our veterans and historians in this country. He should not be allowed to do whatever he wants without Congressional approval or public input.

Donald Trump is attacking the free press. A judge rules that the President can't deny CNN, MS NOW, and Politico from the White House. Why were they turned away and who ordered it? We must protect our First Amendment rights.

We haven't forgotten that a Russian oligarch bankrolled Don Jr.'s wedding, and you shouldn't either. How could an ally of Vladimir Putin spend hundreds of thousands of dollars and expect nothing in return? What is Trump's son hiding? We will get answers.
