Teargassing children is state-sponsored violence. Full stop. We will not be bullied into compliance or betraying our values. Oregon is strong. Oregon is peaceful.
If you’re still working for ICE, resign. There’s no honor in contributing to this barbarity.

Black history is American history. This month is about celebrating and learning about the achievements, culture, and resilience of our Black communities. As books are banned and voices are silenced that elevate Black stories, we must reinvest in those who make our communities brighter.

The Crespo-Gonzalez family is home.
Our community refused to stay silent in the face of such an immoral, unethical detention. Now, we must continue speaking up for the countless other families and children imprisoned by Trump.

Yesterday, I was denied entry into the facility jailing my constituents, but I am not deterred. I will return today and keep fighting to bring these Oregonians home.

Liam was one of hundreds of kids in this facility. Now, my constituent Diana is locked up there, surely frightened and traumatized. Putting kids in cages is so morally bankrupt it’s beyond words.
Release them all.

I was just denied entry to the Dilley detention facility while my constituent, seven-year-old Diana, remains inside.
What kind of sick, horrific conditions are children being forced to endure in there?
I will be back tomorrow. Accountability can’t wait.

I'm about to arrive at the Dilley detention center in Texas. Diana Crespo is a second grader. She should be in school right now, not a prison in Texas. I will let you know what I see.

Detaining children doesn’t make this country safer. It makes this country cruel.
Over 1,000 family members are being held at the detention facility in Dilley, Texas where measles is spreading and children are traumatized.

Diana is seven years old. She belongs in a second-grade classroom—not in a prison with inhumane conditions. I’m headed to Dilley, Texas, right now to see if she’s okay.

No child, but especially not a sick second grader on the way to urgent care, should be detained by ICE and then trapped in a facility with measles. I cannot stand by while my constituents' rights are stripped.
I’m headed to Dilley to conduct oversight and do everything I can to bring them home.

Diana, a 7-year-old child, was being taken by her parents to see a doctor when they were abducted by DHS. They are being kept in this facility.
If detainees are indeed getting the care they need, DHS shouldn’t mind if a physician/Member of Congress checks. I am flying to Texas to demand answers.
