ICE and DHS are racially profiling people, brutalizing protestors, ripping families apart, dumping people in concentration camps, and claiming the authority to override the constitution. No half measures against authoritarianism.

Systemic failures at the Department of Veterans Affairs continue to harm our veterans and rob them of their benefits.
We need real oversight and accountability on how the Administration's restructuring of the VA has affected the services veterans earned.

The Trump Admin is hellbent on terrorizing our communities and attacking our rights.
That's why we must keep resisting in Congress, the courts, and the streets. We can end ICE detention and disrupt their raids with my Melt ICE Act.

After DHS shot Marimar, they lied about it and then tried to criminalize her. Now, it is time they release the footage because Marimar deserves justice.

There is no ceasefire in Gaza. US-supplied bombs are still being used to murder Palestinians.
Congress must assert its authority and put an end to the genocide. We must pass my Block The Bombs Act, which would stop the use of MK-series bombs, and end our complicity in these horrors.

The bigotry and racism coming from the White House is deplorable.

More great news for the people!
We knew that ICE and DHS can't use our hard-working, taxpaying neighbors' information provided to the IRS to pursue their fascist, anti-immigrant campaign. Now the courts have made it clear that they agree with us.
JUST IN: A federal judge has barred ICE and DHS from using taxpayer information provided by the IRS.
Judge Talwani says that DHS' view that noncitizens lack 4th amendment rights — combined with ICE use of administrative warrants — is a recipe for abuse.

ICE's presence in our communities is meant to terrorize. The threat of people with guns at polling places has ALWAYS been about intimidating Black and Brown voters, and all those who seek change at the ballot box, to keep them from exercising their rights.

Joined by advocates and my colleagues who are clear that our tax dollars must not be used to terrorize our communities and violate our rights, we said ENOUGH.
An agency designed to violate our rights under the pretense of securing our safety cannot be reformed.
