Detaining and deporting Victor is cruel. It punishes a man with disabilities and shows a blatant disregard for basic human decency. I call on immigration authorities to immediately release Victor and grant him asylum.
Victor Acurio Suárez came to the U.S. fleeing gang violence in Ecuador, where he was beaten and left for dead. He came here seeking the American Dream, hopeful for a life free from violence.
There are big wins in this package—including important measures to lower costs for families, fund medical research, give a pay raise to our troops, and deliver crucial investments in Delaware communities. They shouldn’t be held up because of ICE’s horrendous actions.
We can and should strip out the DHS bill and pass the other five appropriations bills under consideration this week.
I’m a no on the DHS appropriations bill. Working hard this week to increase accountability, transparency, and independent oversight of immigration enforcement, while avoiding a shutdown that complicates FEMA funding just as Delawareans and millions of Americans are digging out of a major storm.
Trump, Musk and DOGE didn’t just steal your Social Security data while they were stripping the Social Security Agency for parts—they tried to give that data to far-right groups to cheat on future elections. The Judiciary Committee must hold hearings into this gross perversion of our government.
If Trump tries to withhold federal funds for Delaware in an attempt to force unpopular and far-right policies on our state, he will lose in court again. If he's actually interested in keeping Delaware safe, he could return funds to local police departments that DOJ has been withholding for a year.
ICE insists they’re only detaining “the worst of the worst.”
This is who they’re actually detaining in Minneapolis.
Do five year old children like Liam look like the worst of the worst to you?
Our adversaries like China and Russia are drawing closer together—we need to stand united with our own allies to counter them. Senator Lisa Murkowski and I reaffirmed Congress' support for NATO and our NATO allies in our meeting with Secretary General Mark Rutte.
To be clear – Greenland and Denmark have always been willing to work with us on Arctic security and economic development. Trump could have gotten what we needed without antagonizing our NATO allies.
President Trump’s remarks today saying NATO has never helped us were as offensive as they were absurd. Our NATO allies rushed to our aid after 9/11 and more than one thousand NATO troops died alongside Americans in Iraq and Afghanistan. President Putin and Xi Jinping are celebrating.
Undertrained, unaccountable ICE officers are putting Americans’ lives in danger while law enforcement agencies who know their communities go underfunded thanks to Trump. My PUBLIC SAFETY Act with @cortezmasto.senate.gov takes $75 billion from ICE and gives it to local cops who keep our streets safe.
Trump promised his tariffs would bring manufacturing “roaring back.” Instead, factory jobs have fallen nearly every month since April, as higher input costs and uncertainty hit U.S. producers. This article explains why.
I talked to NPR this morning about why Trump's threats to Greenland are a dumb way to get what we want.
Bottom line: Trump is risking everything for nothing.
Trump’s actions in Minneapolis aren’t about immigration enforcement. They’re about sowing fear and disrupting the lives of everyone in Minneapolis – including citizens.
Trump’s threats to slap tariffs on the EU risk a disastrous trade war with the EU and collapsing NATO. I appreciated the chance to meet with EU President @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu at a decisive moment for US-EU relations. America's safety and standing in the world are at stake.
Dr. King showed us that justice is a never-ending responsibility. I urge you to celebrate #MLKDay today by standing with those who are asking their government to respect human dignity, wherever they live.
In an increasingly unstable world, it’s more important to stand with our allies than ever before. As I told the Danish and Greenlandic Prime Ministers, this weekend’s bipartisan delegation is proof that Congress wants to build on our ties and shared values, not weaken them.
To threaten Denmark - and now six other NATO allies - in a crusade to take Greenland threatens to blow up the NATO alliance that has kept Americans safe and destroy our standing in the world as a trustworthy ally. Only Putin is celebrating this terrible, self-defeating strategy.
