Congressman Juan Vargas
@vargas.house.gov
Proudly representing the people of south San Diego County in U.S. Congress. Former CA State Senator, Assembly Member, and SD City Council Member.
An attack on our communities, due process, and civil liberties - that's Trump's immigration agenda.

It's on all of us to speak out.

I am a proud son of immigrants. I know immigrants make our country stronger. I'm on the Floor with @usprogressives.bsky.social and @hispaniccaucus.bsky.social to speak out against Trump's continued efforts to target and terrorize immigrant communities.

For over a month, ICE did everything in their power to try to stop us from conducting oversight at the courthouse after reports that detainees were being held in poor conditions.

Today, we got in. Oversight matters. We're not going to stop demanding answers and working to protect our communities.

I just voted YES to release the Epstein Files.

This passed the House - now it's time for the Senate to do the same.

The survivors deserve justice, and the American people deserve the truth.

Today, Republicans are trying to pass a bill that allows health care costs to skyrocket. Millions of families will lose their health care.

It’s shameful, and I’m a HELL NO.

It's Day 30 of the government shutdown.

Republican leadership canceled votes in the House in September and haven't called us back into session for a SINGLE DAY since the shutdown began.

It's past time for them need to come back and work with us to protect health care and reopen the government.

At the San Diego federal building again with Reps. Peters, Levin, and Jacobs to conduct oversight after reports that ICE is detaining people here in the basement in concerning conditions.

Last Monday, ICE blocked myself and Rep. Peters from entering.

Today, we’re back again to demand answers.

Today, ICE denied @repscottpeters.bsky.social and me entry to areas where they hold detainees in the San Diego Courthouse. 1/3

Our nation’s story can’t be told without the story of the Indigenous people who first called this land home.

On Indigenous Peoples Day, we honor their histories, contributions, and resilience. We must continue to work towards a future rooted in justice and equality.

This is about protecting affordable health care for millions of families across the country!

This is why we're fighting, and we're not backing down.
October 8, 2025 at 10:55 PM
This is what's at stake.

Time for my Republican colleagues to choose. Are you on the side of the people? Are you on the side of families trying to afford their care?

Or will you continue to bow down to Trump, who's marching us closer to a shutdown?

I'm going to keep fighting to save health care.
September 30, 2025 at 9:30 PM
Families deserve better. I voted no alongside my House Dem colleagues. I'm not going rubberstamp anything that worsens the health care crisis Trump and Republicans are creating.
September 20, 2025 at 2:59 AM
A federal judge found that Trump's ICE agents have been targeting people based on whether they a) look Latino; b) speak Spanish; and c) are at a certain location, like a day laborer pickup site.

That's racial profiling. Worse, the Supreme Court just greenlit these practices in a recent decision.

"The end goal here is clear. President Trump is attempting to take over the Fed... He wants control of the Fed in order to bail out his failing economic agenda."

I'm sounding the alarm on Trump's dangerous and unprecedented attacks on the Federal Reserve's independence. Watch here ⬇️

Today, I introduced new bills with @kamlager-dove.house.gov to stop federal agencies from handing over sensitive health and housing data to ICE.

Our personal data should never be mined and weaponized to fuel Trump's cruel mass deportation agenda.

Protect immigrant families. Hands off our data.
September 11, 2025 at 10:04 PM
We need accountability. I'm leading 65+ of my Democratic colleagues with @repdarrensoto.bsky.social in calling on the Trump Administration for answers on the use of racial profiling in immigration enforcement.

What an honor to recognize Salvador Barajas as our Constituent of the Month. Salvador is an outstanding historical muralist and visionary artist who was one of the first artists to create murals in Chicano Park. He has been a driving force in the creation and preservation of Chicano Park murals.

This attempt to fire Federal Reserve Governor Dr. Lisa Cook is blatantly unconstitutional and damaging to our economy.

Release the files.
July 23, 2025 at 8:10 PM
Republican leadership is literally shutting down the House. That’s how badly they don’t want to release the Epstein files.

📢 Release the files!

We just got new numbers on inflation: Trump's chaotic tariffs are raising costs. We're challenging his abuse of emergency powers to impose tariffs in court.

Greed, predatory lending, and deregulation crashed the economy and destroyed millions of lives in 2008. Democrats passed Dodd-Frank to stop it from happening again. Now, Republicans are working to undo it all. We're sounding the alarm.
