U.S. Senator proudly representing the State of Michigan. 🏍️
Thinking of the families and loved ones of Arielle, Brian, and Alexandria, and the entire Michigan State community that was impacted by the horrific shooting three years ago. We must honor their legacy and all victims of gun violence by continuing to fight to make change. #spartanstrong

This Valentine's Day, I'm sharing the story of my parents, who met in France during WWII and fell in love. Their courage, toughness, and bravery have stuck with me throughout my career and inspires me to meet the challenges of today.

Peters to ICE/CBP officials: "How can you expect any US citizen to follow orders from an unidentified, masked man surrounding them, given we know there are these impersonators out there who according to the FBI are committing a lot of crime?"

under questioning from Peters, ICE officials confirm that Kristi Noem's claim about Pretti being a "domestic terrorist" was not based on information from them

ELLISON: We're hoping we can gain cooperation perhaps in the Pretti matter, but we've been advised that the feds aren't investigating the Good matter and we haven't received any access to the evidence

PETERS: So in these two cases, you're being stonewalled?

ELLISON: That's a yes

On National White Shirt Day, we honor the legacy of the historic Flint Sit-Down Strike. When UAW autoworkers banded together in Flint during the winter of 1936, they took a stand that would shape the modern labor movement in America.

President Trump’s tariffs have led to higher prices and more chaos for American businesses.

As a former officer in the Navy Reserve, I had the honor to serve alongside some of the most dedicated men and women I’ve ever met. It was great to meet some of those currently serving aboard the USS Michigan, one of the many vessels critical to our national security.

This statement from the President is completely backwards. Michigan’s economy is highly integrated with Canada and the Detroit-Windsor corridor is one of the busiest border crossings for trade in our entire country.

This is disgusting, indefensible, and blatantly racist.
BREAKING: President Trump removes a racist video depicting the Obamas as apes. The White House initially defended the post, then blamed it on a staffer.
Trump shares racist video depicting the Obamas as monkeys
The White House defended Trump's post, saying it was "from an internet meme video depicting President Trump as the King of the Jungle."

This Black History Month, we recognize the amazing contributions of Black Americans that have helped shape Michigan and our country for the better. To honor this important legacy, we must never stop working to deliver the full promise of our nation. Liberty and justice for all.

I voted no on the funding bill today because we need serious reforms to require DHS immigration enforcement operations to be conducted safely and responsibly. I urge our Republican colleagues to let us vote to fund the rest of the government and work with us to rein in DHS.
January 29, 2026 at 5:33 PM
The American people have seen DHS officers’ unjustified actions and excessive force with their own eyes. I’m pushing for commonsense reforms to improve safety and hold DHS accountable.

I will be voting no on the DHS funding bill because it lacks necessary reforms to immigration enforcement.

Another person has been shot and killed by ICE officers in Minneapolis. The Trump Administration must turn the temperature down and stop this horrific violence.

ICE’s secret memo authorizing agents to enter people’s homes and arrest them without a judicial warrant is unlawful. This Administration’s disregard for our Constitution threatens all of us.  Our government is not above the laws it enforces.

I warned in a report that DOGE was putting Americans’ most sensitive data at risk. Now, news reports show that DOGE employees accessed your data and signed an agreement that could let them share it with a political group.

They broke the law AND endangered your privacy.
Ranking Member @peters.senate.gov’s recent report on DOGE rang the alarm on the risky usage of Americans’ Social Security data. Now we know—DOGE employees accessed your data and signed an agreement that could let them share it with a political group.

One year into Trump’s term, his chaotic tariffs are only pushing higher prices on you. Americans deserve a better economic plan than this.
