You’re lying again, Donald. Not only do we have ballot drop boxes, we’re one of the few states that has a ballot tracking website where every voter can literally see where their ballot is in real time:

No, Donald, you’re not entitled to 5 more Republican seats in Texas. Just like you weren’t entitled to 11,780 more votes in Georgia in 2020.

What Trump is doing when it comes to the treatment of immigrants is un-American and unconstitutional. Standing up to his cruelty isn't just up to Latinos—it's going to take all of us speaking out.

Outrageous. NBC presses ICE on what Californians have been saying and seeing for months: they’re profiling Latino Americans based on their appearance. The Acting ICE Director’s response? “That is a training issue that we’re working on.” It’s not only a training issue—it’s also blatant discrimination. It’s unacceptable and I am demanding answers and accountability.

Grocery bills are going up. Energy bills are going up. Housing costs are going up. And, if MAGA Republicans get their way, health care costs will skyrocket. Democrats are fighting to help working families afford health care while Trump is shutting down the government to fund billionaire tax breaks. That’s the difference.

They said they were only going after the “worst of the worst.” The data didn’t back that up. Footage captured across the country didn’t back that up. Now, the ICE Director isn’t backing it up either—admitting they aren’t just detaining those with criminal records. Even worse, there are U.S. citizens and immigrants with status being detained. Families and neighborhoods are being torn apart just to meet arbitrary quotas. It’s wrong. We must stop the cruelty now.

If that’s what they do to a United States Senator with a question, imagine what they do to farm workers, day laborers, cooks, and the other nonviolent immigrants they are targeting in California and across the country. Or any American that dares to speak up. I will not stop fighting to demand accountability on behalf of the people of California.

You know my name, JD Vance. If you want to talk about political theater, let’s start with the thousands of troops that your administration is using as props in Los Angeles.

California is the most diverse state in the country, with the most immigrants in the country. We also have the largest economy in the country, the 4th largest of any country in the world. This is not despite our hard working immigrants -- as laborers, as consumers and as innovators -- but because of them. They deserve better than to live in fear of being disappeared, detained or deported without due process by the Trump administration.

Be serious. A judge literally ordered the Trump administration to stop racially profiling in a ruling last week. These raids are happening in predominantly Latino communities.

It doesn't matter if you're a Republican, Democrat or Independent -- we ALL have a responsibility to speak up and push back against Trump's advance toward authoritarianism, before it's too late.

Trump has gone too far. When a father of three U.S. Marines is beaten and detained. When U.S. citizens are arrested for no other offense than the color of their skin. When a farmworker falls to his death during an ICE raid. It’s gone too far. There’s a better path forward. That’s why I authored legislation saying that if you’ve been here for years, have no criminal record, contributed to your community, then, yes, you deserve a path to legalization.

False. ICE’s own data contradicts the Secretary’s claims. Over 70% of people in ICE detention have no criminal convictions.

Donald Trump’s nominee Emil Bove lied under oath, fired January 6 prosecutors for doing their jobs, and helped Trump drop corruption charges in exchange for political favors. Now Trump wants to reward him with a lifetime judgeship. I won't stand for it.

The Trump administration is out of control — first they tried to silence me, now they're stealing congressional seats to rig elections. Californians have the chance to fight back. Vote YES on Prop 50 on November 4th.

If Trump focused on deporting violent criminals, there would be no disagreement or debate. But more than 90% of those detained by ICE in recent months have no serious criminal convictions.

As the proud son of immigrants from Mexico, I grew up believing in the promise of America. In the right to speak out when our fundamental rights are threatened. I will always keep doing my job and fighting for the people of California.

Trump’s cruel ICE raids aren’t just hurting families, they’re hurting local economies. In LA’s Boyle Heights, businesses reported losing 50% or more of their customers or revenue over the last several weeks. Protest with your wallets. Support small, local, and immigrant-owned businesses in communities targeted by ICE raids.

Nearly half the people in California’s Central District are Latino—meaning half the population is now at risk of being racially profiled by ICE. This covers most of Southern California. It’s unacceptable. It’s unconstitutional. And we’ll continue to push back because this fight is far from over.

If Texas Republicans go there, California will fight fire with fire. Because here’s the reality: MAGA policies are so unpopular they have to resort to rigging the rules and congressional maps to stay in power. Don’t think so. We’ll stop this last gasp of a power grab.
