I will do everything in my power to protect our voters and fight back against efforts to undermine our democracy.

Rep. Gil Cisneros@cisneros.house.govApr 30(source)

For 60 years the Voting Rights Act has been the law of the land, giving just representation to our communities of color. The Supreme Court’s ruling against Louisiana’s congressional map is an alarming victory for the Republican party’s fight to repeal these fundamental civil rights protections.

Rep. Gil Cisneros@cisneros.house.govApr 29(source)

Service dogs provide lifesaving assistance to thousands of our veterans as they reintegrate into life after military service. I introduced an amendment to the Farm Bill that would ensure critical protections for service dogs but House Republicans struck it down with no explanation.

Ending TPS doesn’t just hurt them, it hurts all of us.

Rep. Gil Cisneros@cisneros.house.govApr 29(source)

Today, the Supreme Court is hearing arguments on the future of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for 1.3 million people in the U.S. Many TPS holders have lived here for decades, building lives, starting families, contributing to our communities, and strengthening our workforce.

Rep. Gil Cisneros@cisneros.house.govApr 29(source)

It’s time to get this long overdue policy change across the finish line and pass my bill, the Duty Status Reform Act.

Rep. Gil Cisneros@cisneros.house.govApr 29(source)

I’m grateful to have Secretary Hegseth’s support for this bipartisan effort and I look forward to working with his office to pass this commonsense reform.

Rep. Gil Cisneros@cisneros.house.govApr 29(source)

I questioned Secretary Hegseth @deptofwar.bsky.social at today’s House Armed Services Committee hearing on his position regarding the consolidation of the military’s overly complicated duty status system.

Rep. Gil Cisneros@cisneros.house.govApr 29(source)

I’m proud to see this court ruling on the side of justice. ICE’s policy of mandatory detention is unlawful and hurts our citizens, spouses, and children. I will not stop fighting to hold ICE accountable for threatening and endangering our communities.

Appeals court rules against ICE’s mandatory detention policy

The decision marks a split at the appeals court level, setting up the possibility for the issue to reach the Supreme Court.

A message to Donald Trump from King Charles III: “America's words carry weight and meaning, as they have since independence,” the King said. “The actions of this great nation matter even more.” www.bbc.com/news/article...

Five takeaways from the King's historic address to US Congress

There were some lines in the speech that may have buoyed Democrats – and raised eyebrows in the White House.

Rep. Gil Cisneros@cisneros.house.govApr 28(source)

Gas prices are the highest they’ve been since Trump launched his illegal war in Iran. The last thing Californians need is more pressure at the pump. How long will he force hardworking Americans to pay the price for his reckless actions?

Gas prices at highest level since beginning of Iran war

The average cost of gas in the U.S. on Tuesday reached its highest level in four years — a result of skyrocketing energy prices triggered by the U.S.-Israeli conflict with Iran. The national averag…

I introduced an amendment to the Farm Bill to ban the Secretary of Agriculture from using your taxpayer dollars to fund her luxury lifestyle.

Rep. Gil Cisneros@cisneros.house.govApr 28(source)

The Trump administration openly accepted aircrafts gifted by the Qatar government and spent taxpayer dollars on Kristi Noem’s private jet. While Republicans complain about “waste, fraud, and abuse,” administration officials are using your taxpayer dollars to sit pretty on private jets.

Rep. Gil Cisneros@cisneros.house.govApr 28(source)

Quit the political pandering and bring forward the bipartisan bill.

Rep. Gil Cisneros@cisneros.house.govApr 28(source)

Speaker Johnson is stalling a bipartisan bill that keeps people safe that the Senate already passed—TWICE. Instead of prioritizing an end to this shutdown and getting workers paid, Republicans are pushing a blank check for ICE’s reign of terror.

GOP leaders duke it out over DHS funding

Both are staking out public positions that could make a private deal harder to reach.

San Dimas High School culinary team wins state competition for second year

The team, which won the National ProStart Invitational in 2025, will compete again in nationals April 24-26.

Rep. Gil Cisneros@cisneros.house.govApr 27(source)

Congratulations to the culinary team at San Dimas High School on winning the California ProStart Cup state competition for the second year in a row! An additional shoutout to the San Dimas High School’s management team for also competing and placing second.

Rep. Gil Cisneros@cisneros.house.govApr 26(source)

Political violence is never the answer. I am grateful for law enforcement’s swift action during the active shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner tonight.

Rep. Gil Cisneros@cisneros.house.govApr 25(source)

The last thing the American people want is another long, drawn-out, expensive war abroad. I joined @cnn.com yesterday to call for an end to the unpopular war on Iran.
