I’ll always work to protect the rights of #CA52 residents. No matter your immigration status, know your rights if you ever have an encounter with an immigration enforcement agency like ICE.

- Replying to @RepJuanVargasTrump's ICE has beaten, brutalized, and even murdered innocent people. Instead of demanding accountability, Republicans sent another blank check. I've been clear from the start. Not one penny more for Trump’s ICE and the Administration’s violent anti-immigrant crackdown.
- SHAMEFUL: Republicans just voted to send $70 BILLION to ICE. That's on top of the $170 billion they authorized for the agency last summer. They chose to hand another $70 billion to an agency that continues to terrorize our communities with absolutely no guardrails. I voted NO.BREAKING: The House passes a $70 billion bill to fund immigration enforcement for three years, sending the measure to President Trump. apnews.com/article/immigr…

- From @Forbes - Juan Vargas: 'I Don't Hear A Peep' From GOP Over ICE Carrying Out Raids Without Judicial Warrants ICE is out of control. Meanwhile, Republicans are trying to send them billions more in funding with no oversight. Absolutely NO funds for this rogue agency.

- Donald Trump is setting up a nearly $2 BILLION taxpayer-funded slush fund for his loyalists and supporters - including January 6th rioters who attacked police officers. The corruption is out of control. It's an outrage, and we're fighting to stop it.The Trump admin is using a $1.7B slush fund to “simply confer money on their private political militia that went to battle for them on Jan. 6 2021.” @RepRaskin
00:00 - Eid Mubarak. Especially after the horrific events last week at the Islamic Center of San Diego, I'm wishing everyone observing Eid al-Adha blessings and strength.
