Trump and Miller are about to deport people, including an elderly Syrian man and two Iranian women seeking refuge in the U.S., to the Central African Republic. None of them are from this country, which is so dangerous that our own government has placed it on the “Do not

🚨Trump is going to deport Iranian women who PROVED to an immigration court that they would be persecuted in Iran to the Central African Republic, a country so dangerous to others the U.S. recommends no American travel there. Trump is destroying this country's legacy of freedom!

The Trump administration’s immigration actions against a referee, some team members and even a dozen soccer fans is turning this FIFA World Cup into an event of exclusion instead of the inclusive event it should be. #NoICEintheCup

Several FIFA World Cup officials have been denied U.S. entry, while others have been subjected to heavy security screening and visa denials. An Iraqi team photographer was denied entry last week at O'Hare International Airport. chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/20…

Why are Republicans attacking the Southern Poverty Law Center? Because it's a key part of their broader assault on democracy. No organization has done more to expose and dismantle the KKK and other white nationalist groups – and that makes it a threat to the Republican Party and

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.

Today, I voted no on the Republicans’ $70 billion slush fund for ICE and CBP. This bill does nothing to lower the cost of living or make our country better in any way. My full statement below:

House Republicans are obsessed with attacking the LGBTQI+ community, now hijacking the Agriculture bill. Instead of focusing on farmers, rural communities and food insecurity they are fixated on banning Pride flags in federal buildings. Shameless and disgusting.

🚨BAD BILL PASSED 🚨 The House just passed Republicans' hijacked Agriculture appropriations bill for FY27, including its two anti-LGBTQI+ riders. We'll keep fighting to prevent this bill from reaching the President's desk.

Last night, Senate Republicans voted to give ICE and CBP another blank check for brutality and cruelty. Taxpayer dollars should go toward helping families get ahead, not terrorizing our communities. I will be voting no.

They don’t attack our voting rights because we’re weak. They attack them because we’re powerful. They know what happens when Black, Latino, and working-class communities stand together. That’s why they’re fighting so hard to take our vote away.
