I’ve heard many stories of how ICE is not following the law or honoring due process.
I'm at the Tacoma ICE facility to come see for myself and hold ICE accountable. From my visit, it was abundantly clear that ICE is lying.

BREAKING: The Democrat in next week’s special election in Tennessee has cut a Trump +22 district to a Republican +4 seat.
That’s stunning. If Democrats flip this seat, they will be one step closer to flipping the House, and I just spoke to the Democrat who could do just that.

During his confirmation hearing, RFK Jr. swore under oath that he would not remove or alter CDC language stating that vaccines do NOT cause autism.
He lied.
He lied.
The CDC website under RFK Jr. now argues that we “can’t say vaccines don’t cause autism” because studies haven’t ruled out every possible scenario.
It’s wild to see this misunderstanding of science on a federal health website, but it’s also an opportunity to explain how the scientific process works

Young people are future leaders, so it's important to listen to them. That's why I met with students from the Latino community to hear about their experiences & challenges.
As Latinos, we discussed ways to equip our community with resources so they can be successful both in & out of the classroom.

This is a huge win that you might have missed last week: we successfully pressured airlines to shut down their data broker, which was selling passenger data to the government without a court order. I'm going to keep at it until other industries to follow suit.
After 404 Media's months-long reporting and pressure from lawmakers, the data broker owned by the U.S.’s major airlines will now shut down a program in which it sold access to hundreds of millions of flight records to the government and let agencies track peoples’ movements without a warrant.
