We were at the federal detention center in downtown LA. They deployed some type of chemical irritant that made people cough and we had to mask. The people here were mainly attorneys, family of those being detained, and two members of Congress. Rep. Norma Torres

🚨I’m here with Congresswoman Luz Rivas, @RepNormaTorres & Rep. Lou Correa at the Roybal Federal Building exercising our Congressional authority to investigate ICE’s inhumane detention of immigrant families—including moms & kids held after routine check-ins. No beds. No food. No water. We are demanding answers.

You won’t believe the latest excuse from ICE. They told us: “This is a field office, not a detention facility.” But the sign says Detention Center. They said, “No one’s being detained, they’re just being processed.” So I asked: “Are they free to leave?” They couldn’t answer. If you’re not free to leave, you’re being detained. Let’s stop pretending otherwise.

WHAT'S NEXT? I’m going back tomorrow (Monday) to keep demanding answers under my legal authority. On Friday, I was blocked from entering the Roybal Building to do oversight—even though federal law gives me that right. I’m trying to check in on the condition of women & kids detained. Checking in on labor leader David Huerta. And see why attorneys are being shut out. I’m not going to stop!

Trump’s administration is saying @senalexpadilla didn’t identify himself—that’s a blatant lie! You can see from the video. Let’s be real: His office is in that building, everyone knows who he is, this was about DHS going after him, not protection of @sec_noem.

SCOTUS just opened the door to a world where a baby born in California is a citizen—but one in Texas isn’t. It’s a dangerous decision and a direct attack on the 14th Amendment. Trump’s order is paused for 30 days, so kids born to immigrants this month are citizens. After that, families should file class actions. We’re not going back.

Trump promised to lower costs on Day 1, but grocery prices keep rising. Families are now spending 11%+ of their income on groceries—the most in decades. All while Trump & the GOP push to steal from working families to pay for new tax breaks for billionaires. Enough!

🚨THROWN TO THE GROUND AND ARRESTED: CA Senator Alex Padilla was forcibly removed from a DHS press conference—an elected U.S. Senator who represents the PEOPLE OF CALIFORNIA. This isn’t just shocking, it’s a threat to the rule of law and democratic accountability. Sen. Padilla is conducting oversight over the lawlessness of the Trump and the violations of the #RuleOfLaw. If this can happen to immigrant communities, it can happen to anyone.

Trump’s crimes will not be buried, and his deportation machine doesn’t get a free pass, not now, not ever. We’re going to keep exposing the abuses, holding Trump and every immigration enforcement agency accountable, and making sure they answer for breaking the law.

America are you listening? This is election interference in plain sight. People need to WAKE UP.
