POWERFUL testimony from Ronaldo Salgado and Lorenzo Salgado Jr., whose father was killed by ICE in Houston. “We are not the only family living this nightmare. Look at the people sitting to our left and to our right: they too have had a loved one killed by ICE. A father, a mother, a daughter, a son.” “ICE is killing people, whether on our streets or in detention centers, and millions of immigrants and their loved ones are living in fear that they might be next. Hold ICE accountable for what is done to our family and so many others, and do everything you can to make sure that this doesn't happen again.” “This must not be a partisan issue. This is an issue of right and wrong. All elected members of Congress have a duty to ensure the safety and well-being of their constituents. Every member has immigrants living in their states, in their districts, in their neighborhoods. What is being done to make sure that they can live without fear?” “We made a promise to our grandmother that we would spend every waking moment of our lives fighting for justice for our dead. We made that promise to her at our father's wake, his open casket.” “And we know the march towards justice is slow, but human history tells us it is steady and unyielding. Our dad deserves justice along with all the families around us, and we'll spend every moment making sure that he gets it.” “I visit my dad's memorial every day, not because it's where he died, but where a movement was born. It is my way of witnessing how many hearts my dad's story resonates with, and it is my motivation to continue fighting not just for my dad, but for everyone else's dad and families like mine." "I hope I'm doing the right thing every day, and I know my dad here is guiding me in the right direction." “Justicia para Lorenzo Salgado Araujo.”

“We have paid for the food and we have shipped it, and it is sitting trapped in this warehouse because DOGE is blocking the payments needed to get the food out to the people who need it." —Congressman Greg Casar on US-grown food rotting in warehouses as children starve waiting for help

WATCH: Congressman Robert Garcia breaks down the Trump administration's UNPRECEDENTED corruption. "We have a president that is $2 billion richer just from this last year. We have a son whose wedding is being paid for by rich Russian oligarchs with connections to Putin." "We have Jared Kushner, who got $2 billion for his investment firm from the Saudis, while also doing diplomacy in the Middle East. We have the Kushners who are trying to buy private islands and selling all sorts of merchandise that's being promoted, oftentimes through government resources." "We also have this insane amount of stock trading that the president himself is doing to enrich himself and his family. And, of course, the son sitting on boards of private companies that are then getting contracts from the federal government." "The amount of corruption is unprecedented. And not only are they lining their pockets, they are stealing the wealth of hardworking Americans. They're stealing the hard earned labor and wealth of working class people and then funneling that money to themselves and to the rich donors and large corporations and CEOs across this country."
