From the attempted attack on my family's Hindu temple to assassination threats against members of Congress, the rise in political violence demands action from all of us. Democrats and Republicans must reject threats, intimidation, and rhetoric that puts lives at risk.

My family and I were inside our Hindu temple in Aurora when a neo-Nazi tried to carry out a massacre. His rifle jammed. When anti-Indian racism is laughed off or dismissed as “not that bad,” we give hatred room to grow. We can't wait for another attempted massacre to speak out.

My family and I were inside our Hindu temple in Aurora when a white supremacist tried to open fire with an AR-15-style rifle. His gun jammed. A courageous coworker later alerted police. We cannot rely on luck to prevent the next attack. The FBI must investigate this as a hate crime.

My family and I were worshipping at our Hindu temple in Aurora, unaware that a Neo-Nazi was outside with an AR-15-style rifle and 300 rounds of ammunition. His gun jammed. That malfunction saved lives. We cannot rely on luck to stop the next attack. We must confront the hatred driving this violence.

Despite what some, including at DHS, are claiming, this video isn’t from a year ago in Chicago. It was Friday in Hoffman Estates, in my district, a street I’ve walked myself. It appears to show a child being violently detained by ICE. It’s real, and I’m demanding accountability.

My parents brought me to this country as an infant in search of a better life. That’s what America is all about. Rep. Nancy Mace’s proposed constitutional amendment to bar naturalized citizens from serving in Congress, on the federal bench, and in Senate-confirmed positions is morally wrong. We must stand shoulder-to-shoulder against the bigotry and hate behind it.

If the Postal Service moves forward with President Trump's plan to restrict mail ballot delivery, I'll pursue a congressional subpoena of the Postmaster General and lead efforts to remove him from office. No administration should be able to use the Postal Service to make it harder for Americans to vote.

In my district, 18-year-old Evelyn, a U.S. citizen, was thrown to the ground by ICE agents for filming them, and one pressed a knee on her neck. DHS later denied it was ICE despite clear proof. Silencing citizens betrays the trust these agencies are meant to protect.

60 people in one cell. Detainees forced to sleep standing up. These aren’t just illegal actions happening within the Broadview ICE facility; they’re inhumane and immoral. It’s time ICE and Trump allow Members of Congress to enter and inspect these facilities.

A federal search of Congresswoman Ilhan Omar's home three weeks before Election Day is highly suspicious, especially given Trump's history of disgusting Islamophobic attacks against her. The DOJ must never be used as a weapon against political opponents.

“Go back to India.” “You will not replace us.” Those were the chants of white supremacists outside a Texas city hall just weeks ago. Whether directed at Hindus, Muslims, Jews, or any other community, hate has no place in America. We must stand shoulder-to-shoulder against bigotry, prejudice, and discrimination wherever it appears.

After months of being denied entry, I got into the Broadview ICE facility earlier today to conduct congressional oversight. A court reaffirmed Congress's authority, and I'll keep using every tool available to hold the Trump administration accountable.
