I had the privilege of recognizing Mrs. Sondra LaPointe, a seventh-grade teacher at Westview Hills Middle School, as my Constituent Spotlight honoree. Sondra is instilling a strong educational foundation and excitement for learning in our future leaders, which our world needs now more than ever.

The Department of Homeland Security funding bill to be considered by the House today does not rein in the lawless conduct from ICE. The American people deserve better. I'm voting NO. (2/2)

Rep. Sean Casten@casten.house.govJan 22(source)

Congress, having the power of the purse, has an opportunity to respond to the murder and baseless arrests of American citizens, the cruel and inhumane conditions detainees are subjected to, and the denial of due process to both citizens and non-citizens. (1/2) casten.house.gov/media/press-...

Casten to Vote Against DHS Funding Bill That Fails to Rein in ICE | U.S. Congressman Sean Casten

This morning, I attended arguments at the Supreme Court in the Trump Administration's case to fire Lisa Cook from the Federal Reserve. To be clear, Lisa Cook did nothing wrong, and the independence of the Federal Reserve must be maintained. But this case is about so much more than that.

Rep. Sean Casten@casten.house.govJan 20(source)

It’s been a year since Trump has taken office. Costs are up across health care, energy, and groceries.

Rep. Sean Casten@casten.house.govJan 20(source)

Spread some love this Valentine’s Day! My office is collecting Valentine’s cards for local veterans, and we need your help to make their day special. Drop off your cards by February 5th and join us in honoring those who’ve served our country.

Donald Trump doesn’t hate clean energy; he hates energy you can actually afford. Clean energy is affordable energy. The president wants you to pay more while fossil fuels destroy your health and our planet.

Rep. Sean Casten@casten.house.govJan 15(source)

After learning the Trump Admin planned to cut funding for mental health care & addiction services, I joined colleagues in furiously lobbying HHS to change course. I'm proud to see that our efforts were successful, but it's shameful that this was considered at all. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/14/h...

H.H.S. Reverses Decision to Cut $2 Billion for Mental Health and Addiction Services

A day after funding termination notices went out to more than 2,000 programs nationwide, the administration reversed itself and reinstated the money.

Rep. Sean Casten@casten.house.govJan 15(source)

Alongside Sen. Dick Durbin and Sen. Tammy Duckworth, I’m pleased to announce $4M in federal funding for the College of DuPage to expand short-term, for-credit aviation and Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) workforce certificates.

Rep. Sean Casten@casten.house.govJan 14(source)

The Trump Administration will no longer consider whether or not you will die from pollution when setting emissions standards. Absurd. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/12/c...

E.P.A. to Stop Considering Lives Saved by Limiting Air Pollution

In a reversal, the agency plans to calculate only the cost to industry when setting pollution limits, and not the monetary value of saving human lives, documents show.

Second, for the City of Palos Heights, I secured $1.1 million to upgrade the 80th Avenue Pump Station, providing both Palos Heights and Northwestern Community Hospital with a dependable secondary water source. (3/3)

Rep. Sean Casten@casten.house.govJan 14(source)

First, for Elmhurst University, I secured $950,000 to purchase health sciences research equipment. This funding supports students and faculty conducting important research with the potential to advance the field of health sciences and prepare the next generation of healthcare professionals. (2/3)

Rep. Sean Casten@casten.house.govJan 14(source)

I’m pleased to share two new federal investments that strengthen education, infrastructure, and public health in our community. (1/3)

Rep. Sean Casten@casten.house.govJan 13(source)

Mark your calendars! This Thursday at 6:30pm CT, I’m hosting a telephone town hall. Don’t miss it. Ways to join: Call 833-708-2162 Visit casten.house.gov/live Stream on my Facebook page

My heart breaks for the Jewish community of Jackson, Mississippi. We must do more to stop the increasing acts of antisemitism seen across the country. Hate has no place in America. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/11/u...

Once Again, Oldest Mississippi Synagogue Is Attacked With Fire

A suspect was in custody and charged with arson and accused of setting the Saturday morning fire. It’s not the first time the Beth Israel house of worship has been attacked.

Help with a Federal Agency | U.S. Congressman Sean Casten

Rep. Sean Casten@casten.house.govJan 9(source)

Congress must address Kristi Noem's failed leadership, up to and including impeachment. But that alone is insufficient. The entire chain of command who have enabled a culture of murder must face justice.

Rep. Sean Casten@casten.house.govJan 8(source)

Yesterday, ICE murdered an American citizen. The only way to prevent future horrors is to prosecute and ensure full accountability up the entire chain of command.
