This is a video of ICE agents pulling a man out of a car and handcuffing him after shooting him in broad daylight in Maine — just days after killing Lorenzo Salgado Araujo in Texas. The blatant disregard for human life is absolutely disgusting. According to reports, there is once again no body cam footage. There must be an independent investigation immediately and real accountability measures placed on this rogue agency.

Here’s the situation: There was a bipartisan deal to stop a government shutdown. But now, shadow President Elon Musk is calling the shots and Mike Johnson, Trump, and Republicans are falling in line. It’s clear who’s in charge.

Nurul Amin Shah Alam, a nearly blind refugee, was found dead after Border Patrol abandoned him miles away from his home and without notifying his family or attorney. This is absolutely horrifying — and completely preventable. There must be a full investigation immediately.

Trans kids aren’t raising your rent, making your groceries more expensive, or taking away your health care. Republicans are doing that, all while giving billionaires a tax cut.

Rümeysa Öztürk did not do anything violent. She does not pose any sort of national security threat to America’s interests. She wrote an op-ed — that’s literally it.

I went to immigration court in Seattle to observe the kids' docket. These kids are expected to represent themselves in court. To expect a child, clutching a stuffed animal, to argue against a seasoned attorney is ridiculous. We can and should be providing children with legal counsel.

The Secretary of Forever Wars, Pete Hegseth, just announced they are going to provide hormone therapy to male service members who don’t have enough testosterone. Let’s be clear: This is gender affirming care and it completely debunks all of Republicans’ attacks on trans people.

I am a proud first-generation immigrant. And when I am chair of the Immigration Subcommittee, we will pass permanent protections and pathways to citizenship for immigrant families.

Republicans have gone through the dictionary — far left, radical, socialist, and now “communist.” These attacks don’t work. It’s not the label that matters, it’s the policies. And progressive ideas are very popular across this country.

The United States is the richest country in the world. Meanwhile, millions of Americans are uninsured, underinsured, or drowning in medical debt. It's time we pass Medicare for All: everyone deserves to access the care they need without going bankrupt.

A study found that there was a dramatic spike in cancer diagnoses when Americans hit age 65. Why? Because they finally qualified for Medicare and could afford to see a doctor. People should be able to go to the doctor when they need to, not when they age into coverage. It’s time for Medicare for All.

There have been too many disrespectful comments coming from Democrats about progressive wins. It is clear the American people want fighters, not people who prioritize the wealthiest who buy elections.

Medicare for All would mean a new future that, at its core, respects human dignity. It would mean that people have control over their lives. And it would mean that you don’t have to wait until an emergency to get care. Let's get it done.

How are you supposed to know that unmarked vehicles with people in masks and no identification are ICE and CBP? The tactics that are being used are that of a militia, not a government agency. They must be stopped.

It took me 17 years and an alphabet soup of visas to become a U.S. citizen. And in Congress, I’ll continue working to protect and expand legal pathways to citizenship, including for TPS holders.

During today’s oversight visit with Rep. Ilhan Omar at the Whipple detention facility in Minnesota, I had a tense exchange with ICE over their refusal to acknowledge their mistakes and the cruelty they have caused. I will not stop conducting oversight and demanding accountability.

Orlin was violently assaulted and killed after ICE deported his mother and sent him to live with a violent uncle, despite his mother’s pleas that he be deported with her. We must ensure that immigrant families are protected and kept together. This can never happen again.

Being undocumented is NOT a crime. And despite the endless stream of xenophobic and racist rhetoric from Trump and Republicans, the vast majority of immigrants — both documented and undocumented — contribute to America in more ways than we could imagine.

Trump has continued to double down on the Iran war. MORE airstrikes, MORE taxpayer dollars, and NO attention to American troops, innocent civilians, or to your pockets. This morning, the House must pass my War Powers Resolution and we must end this war immediately.

23 people have died in immigration detention this year under the Trump administration, and ICE seems to be lying about the circumstances. They told Congress that Chaofeng Ge died by suicide, but he was found with his hands and feet tied. That simply doesn’t add up.
