First Amendment rights don’t stop at the gates of the Broadview ICE Facility.
Local religious leaders, like Sister JoAnn Persch, are trying to peacefully provide religious services to detainees, but are being denied for political reasons.
This is shameful.

NEWS: I led 36 House Democrats in demanding President Trump end his tariff-fueled economic assault on soybean farmers.
Illinois is the largest soybean-producing state in the country. The president's tariffs are hurting farmers and causing the cost of living to soar.

The Trump Administration has emboldened ICE to use violent, unconstitutional tactics as an attempt to increase control and spread fear.
Illinoisans will not be intimidated.

Tax credits set to expire at the end of the year may cause health care premiums to skyrocket.
Speaker Johnson could fix this and reopen the government, but he refuses to even ask House Republicans to show up for work.
TO ALL FEDERAL WORKERS: If you were illegally fired and have information of wrongdoing or abuse of power by the Trump Administration, the Oversight Committee Democratic whistleblower tip line is open.

On July 3rd, Speaker Johnson called the House into session unexpectedly to pass Trump's Budget Betrayal, which gutted Medicaid.
It's been 104 days since then. The House has only been in session for 19 of those days. Speaker Johnson refuses to call the House into session and reopen the government.
This Hispanic Heritage Month, we honor the significant contributions of our Hispanic and Latino neighbors. Earlier this month, I visited Toro Construction in Orland Park and JP Architects in Oak Lawn to tour their facilities and hear about their business challenges.
As the Trump shutdown continues, air traffic controllers received partial paychecks today. They risk missing their next one.
Speaker Johnson could end this shutdown and ensure these workers get paid, but instead has kept the House in recess since September 19th.

The Trump-led shutdown does not require the administration to fire anyone. But illegally firing federal employees for political reasons and without concern for the impact on the American people is how President Trump has treated dedicated civil servants since day 1.

My statement on the peace deal in Gaza:
Speaker Johnson knows what it takes to reopen the government, but he refuses to do it. He will not negotiate. He will not let the House return to session.
Speaker Johnson chose to shut down the government because he believes you should pay more to see a doctor.
My office remains open and ready to assist constituents.
