This isn't making our communities safer. It's traumatizing our kids. I'm calling for an end to immigration enforcement around schools with Senators Alex Padilla and Adam Schiff and Representatives Scott Peters, Sara Jacobs, and Mike Levin. Read more here: vargas.house.gov/media/press-...

It was great to join Southwestern College to celebrate the grand opening of its new transit hub, which will help improve access to the Chula Vista campus. I’m proud to have secured half a million dollars in federal funding to help make this project a reality.

Thank you to everyone who joined my telephone town hall last week with Supervisor Paloma Aguirre. Together, we discussed the urgent issue of pollution in the Tijuana River and federal and local efforts to combat it.

Our landmark housing affordability bill passed both the House and Senate. But Trump is refusing to sign it into law. I guess he realized there's nothing in it that personally benefits him, just help for families struggling with costs. He needs to sign it now. No more delays.

Congressman Juan Vargas @vargas.house.gov · 25/06/2026

Today, this extremist Supreme Court gave Trump the green light to strip away temporary protected status from hundreds of thousands of people who cannot safely return to their home countries. TPS holders registered with the government, passed background checks, and trusted the process.

Happy Father's Day to all the dads and father figures across CA-52. Out of all the titles I've had, Dad is the best one.

Today marks 14 years of DACA. Dreamers strengthen our communities, contribute to our economy, and have built their lives here. As Trump continues to attack DACA, we must provide permanent protections and a pathway to citizenship for Dreamers. #HomeIsHere #ProtectDreamers

Happy Pride! This month, as we celebrate the resilience and enormous achievements of the LGBTQI+ community, we also reaffirm our commitment to fight for justice and equality for all.

Glad to recognize Joe Garbanzos as our April Constituent of the Month during National Volunteer Month. Joe is the State President of AARP California and the Director of Southern California Region for Filipino Veterans Recognition and Education Project in addition to many other volunteer roles.

Last night, Senate Republicans voted to give ICE another $70 BILLION to continue Trump’s mass deportation agenda. If this comes to the House floor, I will vote NO. No blank checks for ICE.

Today I joined Senator Hirono, Senator Padilla, and student advocates to speak out against Trump’s plan to completely cut funding for these programs at hundreds of colleges and universities.

Today, we forced a vote to extend Temporary Protected Status for Haiti. It just passed the House. The 350,000+ Haitian nationals who contribute greatly to our communities deserve protections. This is a huge win. Now, on to the Senate.

This is appalling rhetoric from a sitting president. Suggesting that the US will commit war crimes and wipe out an entire civilization is madness.

The allegations against César Chávez are horrific. I unequivocally stand with the survivors and commend the bravery of everyone who has come forward to share their story.

Disgusting bigotry. This kind of hate has no place in Congress, or anywhere else. Shame on Randy Fine, and shame on my Republican colleagues who have continued to stay silent on this.

Esta semana realizamos una audiencia sobre los abusos cometidos por ICE, donde familias y comunidades compartieron historia tras historia sobre cómo fueron acosadas y aterrorizadas por esta agencia que no respeta la ley.

161

Congressman Juan Vargas @vargas.house.gov · 13/02/2026

Today, we held a hearing on ICE's abuses where families and communities share story after story of their experiences being targeted and terrorized by this lawless agency. Block DHS funding. Impeach Kristi Noem. Get ICE out of our cities now. This violence cannot continue.

3226

Congressman Juan Vargas @vargas.house.gov · 07/02/2026

Me negaron la entrada al Centro de Detención de Otay Mesa para realizar una visita de supervisión después de recibir denuncias preocupantes sobre las condiciones ahí. Seguiré luchando para impedir que el ICE aterrorice a nuestras comunidades. Esto no puede continuar.

Congressman Juan Vargas @vargas.house.gov · 07/02/2026

I was blocked from entering Otay Mesa Detention Center today to conduct oversight after receiving concerning allegations about conditions there. We've heard reports that detainees are throwing notes over the fences asking for help. What are they trying to hide here? What are they doing?

19307144

Congressman Juan Vargas @vargas.house.gov · 06/02/2026

HAPPENING NOW: I'm at Otay Mesa Detention Center after hearing very concerning reports about conditions here. Members of Congress have the legal right to enter immigrant detention facilities to conduct oversight with no advance notice. I'm here to do that.

Congressman Juan Vargas @vargas.house.gov · 03/02/2026

Today, I voted NO on DHS funding and joined my colleagues at ICE headquarters to demand Kristi Noem be impeached. ICE has terrorized our communities. This violence and abuse of power needs to end now.

Congressman Juan Vargas @vargas.house.gov · 03/02/2026

HAPPENING NOW: I’m at ICE headquarters with fellow Democrats to send one simple message: Kristi Noem must go. Impeach Noem. Get ICE out of our communities.

No funding for a rogue ICE. Impeach Kristi Noem. Get ICE out of our communities NOW.

I had the chance to visit Pope Francis Center, a new immigrant resource center from Our Lady of Guadalupe Parish that will provide legal aid, spiritual support and child care to immigrants and families. Our community continues to stand up for our neighbors and against the brutality of Trump's DHS.

Congressman Juan Vargas @vargas.house.gov · 28/01/2026

Ayer uni an mis colegas, Representantes Peters, Levin y Jacobs, para denunciar los abusos de ICE. Han asesinado a personas inocentes en nuestras calles. Que saquen a ICE de nuestras comunidades inmediatamente. Que destituyan a Kristi Noem. No más fondos para ICE, que actúa sin control.

On International Holocaust Remembrance Day, we mourn the six million Jewish victims of the Holocaust and countless others who were targeted and murdered by the Nazi regime. We honor their memory and stand united against hate and antisemitism in all forms. Never again.

Congressman Juan Vargas @vargas.house.gov · 27/01/2026

I joined hundreds of San Diego faith leaders and community members to stand united against ICE's violence. Together, we grieve the murders of Alex Pretti and Renee Good, and other victims of this Admin. Get ICE out of our communities now. Impeach Kristi Noem. No funding for Trump’s lawless ICE.

1127

Congressman Juan Vargas @vargas.house.gov · 22/01/2026

ICE murdered Renee Good, a young mother of three. ICE wrongfully targeted and dragged a grandfather out of his house at gunpoint in freezing temperatures. ICE detained a five-year-old in his driveway and used him as bait to lure people out of his house. His family has an active asylum case.

4152

Congressman Juan Vargas @vargas.house.gov · 22/01/2026

ICE asesinó a Renee Good, una madre joven con tres hijos. ICE detuvo a un niño de cinco años en la entrada de su casa y lo utilizó como cebo para atraer a gente fuera de su casa. Su familia tiene un caso de asilo en trámite. ICE ha aterrorizado a comunidades en todo el país.

Congressman Juan Vargas @vargas.house.gov · 21/01/2026

Trump's attempt to illegally fire Fed Governor Dr. Lisa Cook is a power grab. It's all part of his continued quest to seize control of our central bank. As the Supreme Court heard Dr. Cook's case today, I joined my @ushousefsc.bsky.social colleagues to stand up for the Fed's independence.

"Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere." Today, we reflect on the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. In these deeply challenging times, it's more important than ever for us to build on his life's work and continue the fight for justice, equality, and dignity for all.

Congressman Juan Vargas @vargas.house.gov · 14/01/2026

It's absolutely outrageous that the DOJ has threatened Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell with a criminal indictment. These threats from Trump represent a total assault on the Fed's independence - something that is critical to the health of our economy. It must end.

🚨 The House just approved legislation to extend the ACA tax credits. Despite Republican leadership's best efforts to block this, Democrats forced a vote. Now the Senate needs to take action and vote to lower costs for the millions who have seen their premiums skyrocket. Families cannot wait.

2488

Congressman Juan Vargas @vargas.house.gov · 07/01/2026

ICE just shot and killed a woman in broad daylight. There’s absolutely no justification for this. This Administration and ICE are so clearly out of control. They have fired at civilians, terrorized our communities, and now this. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

391

Congressman Juan Vargas @vargas.house.gov · 18/12/2025

We have the votes we need to extend the ACA tax credits. But Speaker Mike Johnson is sending us home early without passing this bill. If we don't extend these tax credits, millions of families will lose health care coverage or see their premiums skyrocket in 2026. We need a vote NOW.

Congressman Juan Vargas @vargas.house.gov · 04/12/2025

An attack on our communities, due process, and civil liberties - that's Trump's immigration agenda. It's on all of us to speak out.

I am a proud son of immigrants. I know immigrants make our country stronger. I'm on the Floor with @usprogressives.bsky.social and @hispaniccaucus.bsky.social to speak out against Trump's continued efforts to target and terrorize immigrant communities. Watch here ⬇️ www.youtube.com/USHouseClerk...

Congressman Juan Vargas @vargas.house.gov · 25/11/2025

For over a month, ICE did everything in their power to try to stop us from conducting oversight at the courthouse after reports that detainees were being held in poor conditions. Today, we got in. Oversight matters. We're not going to stop demanding answers and working to protect our communities.

Congressman Juan Vargas @vargas.house.gov · 18/11/2025

I just voted YES to release the Epstein Files. This passed the House - now it's time for the Senate to do the same. The survivors deserve justice, and the American people deserve the truth.

Congressman Juan Vargas @vargas.house.gov · 12/11/2025

Today, Republicans are trying to pass a bill that allows health care costs to skyrocket. Millions of families will lose their health care. It’s shameful, and I’m a HELL NO.

0130

Congressman Juan Vargas @vargas.house.gov · 30/10/2025

It's Day 30 of the government shutdown. Republican leadership canceled votes in the House in September and haven't called us back into session for a SINGLE DAY since the shutdown began. It's past time for them need to come back and work with us to protect health care and reopen the government.
