BREAKING: ICE killed a Minnesota woman in broad daylight & there must be accountability. But when I moved to subpoena all records & footage related to this murder, Republicans voted it down. They've never cared about law & order or keeping our communities safe. My heart is with the victim, her loved ones, & the Minnesota community.

BREAKING: I'm reintroducing my bill with Ed Markey to end qualified immunity for federal officers—including ICE agents. This bill is for Renee Good, Keith Porter, & everyone in America to know that when ICE agents break the law & kill our neighbors, they'll be held accountable.

Today we filed contempt charges against Pam Bondi for refusing to testify about the Epstein files coverup. 45 mins later, the GOP announced her appearance date. We'll keep pushing for accountability. Whether you’re a politician, prince or president—a reckoning is on the way.

Transgender people deserve the same chance to thrive and live fulfilling lives as everyone else. Shame on Republicans for trying to strip away healthcare from vulnerable children. And shame on anyone who votes to deny care to families trying to do right by their kids.

Trump Accounts—as currently implemented—could worsen the racial wealth gap & make inequality worse. To be expected from an Admin that's getting rich while making workers & families poorer. That’s why I’m pushing for our Baby Bonds bill—to ensure EVERY child can grow & prospers.

Trump's termination of Haiti TPS robbed Pierre Damas Bel of his humanity, stripped him of his dignity, and inflicted mental trauma that became too much to bear. He should be alive today. Let's honor his memory by doing everything we can to save lives and extend TPS for Haiti.

For America's 250th, I read Frederick Douglass’ speech, “What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?” on the House floor—for the first time in history. His speech endures as a mirror & mandate for us all—to confront our inequities while fighting for an America as good as its promise.

Republicans’ “anti-DEI” bill is a disgrace. On one hand, it says that racism doesn't exist. On the other hand, it says there’s rampant “reverse racism." This is the unserious work of the Republican Party. P.S. they should keep MLK’s name out their mouth.

The House passed our extension of TPS for Haiti with a 224 vote victory of Democrats & Republicans alike. This has been a long-fought battle to defend our Haitian neighbors & our communities, and we're not letting up. The Senate must take action without delay.

BREAKING: After weeks of organizing, we have reached the majority necessary to force a vote to extend Haiti TPS. Thank you to our coalition and everyone fighting for this critical lifeline for the 350,000 Haitian nationals. Our neighbors are so deserving.

Right now, more than 350,000 Haitians in the US face the threat of losing Temporary Protected Status. It is cruel, unlawful, & life-threatening. This week, we're forcing the House to vote on extending TPS for Haiti. This is good policy, good for families, & good for America.

Today, we heard harrowing stories from survivors of Epstein's abuse. Epstein is dead, but the hurt & harm he caused is alive and well. We'll keep pushing for accountability, including a public Congressional hearing with survivors and the release of the full Epstein files.

My Baby Bonds bill could have helped close the racial wealth gap & create intergenerational wealth. But Trump took this idea, put his name on it, & watered it down so the benefits go to wealthy families. We must fix this & we can start by passing my Baby Bonds bill.

.Jamaal Bowman is a champion for students, a lifelong educator, a duly elected member of Congress, & a strong Black man. This censure is just the latest in this chamber's shameful history of telling Black and brown folks they don't belong in Congress.

I won’t mince my words from what I saw at the ICE detention center at Dilley. Today in America, babies and toddlers are imprisoned. Men, women, & children treated like numbers and confined without easy access to basic needs. These are real people navigating profound trauma—and their basic human rights are violated daily. I leave today clear as ever that Congress must immediately close the Dilley prison, free the families, & abolish ICE.

My constituent Darwin has been unjustly detained by ICE at the Plymouth detention center. As his fiancée makes plain, Darwin has no criminal record, he’s beloved by his community, and he’s a breadwinner for his family. He should be free today, planning his wedding with family.

The Black unemployment rate is alarmingly high, and our entire economy suffers as a result. When Black workers lose, everyone loses. That's why I demanded Fed Chair Warsh uphold the Federal Reserve’s mandate of maximum employment for ALL workers, especially Black workers.
