I'm proud of our federal workers. I've heard from many of them about the unacceptable chaos & mistreatment they've experienced over the past several weeks. I was glad to meet with the American Federation of Government Employees District 3 and express my commitment to protecting our public servants.

The Delaware Wing - Civil Air Patrol represents the future of the growing aviation opportunities in Delaware, including at @delstateuniv.bsky.social. It was great to host these future aviators in the Capitol this week. I look forward to working in the Senate to support the Civil Air Patrol.

CONOZCA SUS DERECHOS: INMIGRACIÓN
Cada persona que vive en Delaware tiene derechos básicos y libertades civiles que gobiernan la autoridad de cuerpos policiales y el sistema de justicia criminal. Estos derechos son independientes de ciudadanía o estado de inmigración- todo
el mundo los tienen, incluso los inmigrantes sin documentación.
Cuando está interactuando con agentes de inmigración federal:
Puede rechazar a hablar sin un abogado. Puede pedir un traductor si un agente no habla su idioma.
Si habla con un agente, ser sincero. No mienta de ciudadanía. Si no entiende una pregunta, di que no entiende.
Si no es ciudadano EEUU, y lleva sus papeles de inmigración, tiene que mostrar los papeles al agente si les pregunta.
Tiene el derecho a rechazar agentes de inmigración entrada a su casa sin orden de arresto o orden de registro firmado por un juez, a menos que hay circunstancias exigentes. Un agente puede buscar su cuerpo si cree que lleva armas.
Un orden de deportación/extracción no permite a los agentes que entre a su domicilio sin tu consentimiento.
Agentes no necesitan un orden para detener su coche cuando tienen sospecha razonable de que crimen federal, incluyendo crimen de inmigración, si ha ocurrido.
Si es detenido cuando está manejando, tiene que mostrar su licencia de manejar o su tarjeta de privilegio si les preguntan.
Si es pasajero, puede preguntar a salir. Haz lo si lo permiten.
Si lo arrestan, no resiste.
Puede preguntar a llamar a un familiar o amigo si tiene niños con usted cuando se arrestan o si tiene que informar a su trabajo. Puede preguntar por cuál agencia representa el agente y su nombre y número de insignia.

The unconstitutional freeze on federal funding will have real & devastating impacts on our communities, our state, & our nation if it does go into effect. Sen. Chris Coons, Rep. Sarah McBride, Gov. Matt Meyer, AG Kathy Jennings, & I are doing all we can to fight it.

I plan to oppose every cabinet level nominee that is considered on the Senate floor going forward. The recklessness on display has already proven to be incredibly harmful and will only continue, unless we do something. I will do everything in my power to stand up for Delaware.
