I am heartbroken and deeply troubled by the accounts of abuse shared by survivors who have made the difficult decision to come forward.

Our veterans deserve the critical resources and comprehensive support that help them rebuild their lives in a timely way — not policies that take control away when they need help the most.
At a time when too many veterans are struggling to access stable housing, mental health care, and basic supportive services, the Trump administration continues to fall short of meeting the needs of those who have served our country.
Instead of addressing the root causes of housing instability or expanding access to care, this policy risks pushing vulnerable veterans into court-ordered guardianships and institutional settings that strip them of autonomy when less extreme, more effective solutions exist.
The VA’s recent memorandum of understanding with the Department of Justice is deeply troubling for veterans already living on the margins, including those experiencing homelessness.
Facilities like Dilley should not operate in the shadows. House Democrats will continue demanding transparency, accountability, and an end to policies that tear families apart because no one should have to endure this kind of trauma at the hands of their own government.
During my visit, I spoke with children and parents who described being abducted by ICE from their communities, often without warning or explanation. Their stories reflect a detention system defined by fear, uncertainty, and unacceptable conditions.
While I am relieved they are finally home, their case underscores the broader cruelty and injustice of Trump's ICE and its egregious abuse in the name of immigration enforcement that is targeting law-abiding families instead of focusing on genuine public safety threats.
Their family entered the United States legally as asylum seekers, yet ICE detained them during a routine check-in appointment and demanded that they self-deport. Through our oversight visit, my colleagues and I were able to advocate directly for the family’s release and reunification.
Ahead of the visit, I learned that the Gámez-Cuéllar family was being held there. Teenage brothers Caleb and Antonio are talented mariachi musicians who were honored in Washington for their artistry and visited the White House last year.
On Monday, I conducted an oversight visit to the Dilley ICE Detention Center in Texas, one of the largest immigration detention facilities in the country and a site that has long raised serious concerns about the conditions and treatment of detainees.
Hatred has no place in the United States of America. And bigotry has no place in public office.
Their refusal to speak out says everything about their priorities and so-called "values."
Just as outrageous is the silence from his Republican colleagues in Congress. Rather than condemn this disgraceful behavior, they continue to look the other way as members of their party sow division, inflame hatred, and traffic in racist rhetoric.
Andy Ogles has shown time and again that he has no respect for the American people, let alone the office he holds. His ignorance is embarrassing, but his willingness to promote hateful rhetoric that puts a target on our Muslim neighbors, colleagues, and friends is especially alarming.

Noem may be gone, but the fight to restore accountability at DHS is far from over.
Families were torn apart, people were detained in dangerous conditions, and lives were lost — all in the name of policies that betray our nation’s values.
Under her leadership, DHS squandered taxpayer dollars for luxury travel and brutal immigration enforcement while disaster aid stalled and real homeland security priorities were ignored.
Kristi Noem’s removal from office was long overdue. Her tenure at DHS was defined by chaos, a blatant disregard for the Constitution, and egregious efforts to mislead the American people.
