Defending freedoms. Advancing equality. Ensuring justice for all. News from the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee Democrats, led by Ranking Member @SenatorDurbin.
- BREAKING: Trump formally nominates former personal attorney Todd Blanche to be Attorney General, in move that further weaponizes the Justice Department.
- New reports showcase horrors of Trump-Mullin immigration detention facilities. This Louisiana facility fails to comply with standards, including excessive force and unsanitary conditions. A staff member applied a choke hold. Another stabbed a detainee with a pen. One just died.
- BREAKING: A 43-year-old has died in ICE custody, marking the 19th death in immigration detention this year and at a pace on track to exceed last year’s deaths in detention.
- Sen. HIRONO: Donald Trump spent all of 2024 insisting he’d go after the ‘worst of the worst.’ And yet, like everything else, that was a lie. His regime has indiscriminately gone after all immigrants, swept up into Stephen Miller’s desire to get rid of immigrants in our country.
00:00 - Sen. DURBIN: My mom came to the United States at age two. I’m proud that I’m the son of an immigrant. The thought of taking something so precious away from her because of ‘political views’ doesn’t sound like the America she was trying to be a part of.
00:00 - Sen. WELCH: The Trump Administration has a very radical goal: mass deportation. Dreamers, DACA recipients, and folks here legally. I oppose that. They’re willing to go to abusive lengths. The cruelty creates fear and anxiety in targeting legal immigrants.
00:00 - BREAKING: Senate Republicans try and fail to include their unpopular voter suppression bill with mass deportation funding.
- Republicans are already trying to give ~$70 BILLION to Donald Trump for mass deportations. Now, they’re desperately pushing to add in their voter suppression bill too. Double the bad.
- Democrats just secured a huge win in Republicans’ partisan funding bill. NO ballroom funding. NO weaponized Trump-Blanche Justice Department funding.
- BREAKING: Funding for Trump’s ballroom and weaponized Trump-Blanche Justice Department officially REMOVED from reconciliation bill, in win for Democrats.
- Katie Lane is the first Trump 2.0 judicial nominee to receive a NOT QUALIFIED rating from the American Bar Association. She’s never even tried a case. There are 3,000+ licensed attorneys in Montana. Pick a different one.

- Sen. DURBIN: There are 3,000+ licensed attorneys in Montana. You’d think the White House would find one with experience. Instead, Trump picked Katie Lane. She isn’t remotely qualified. That isn’t my opinion—that’s her official rating from the American Bar Association.
