It’s more important than ever before that we support immigrants.
Pass the Dream Act. Protect DACA. Support immigrant communities.
Grateful to meet with business leaders today and discuss the urgency of these issues.

I met with leaders from @uofilsystem.bsky.social and UIC to discuss “Operation Midway Blitz” and the effects of militarized immigration enforcement efforts on student safety.
These raids and arrests carried out on our campuses do nothing but disrupt classes and traumatize students.
Donald Trump promised you lower prices. Instead, by shutting down the government and refusing to extend health care tax credits, he is poised to inflict the “worst year-over-year price hike” on Americans’ health insurance premiums next year. All while building a grand new ballroom for himself.
I introduced a bipartisan resolution to honor Nobel Peace Prize recipient, María Corina Machado.
Ms. Machado has fought for democracy and a better future for the Venezuelan people. Her courage amid Maduro’s cruelty is worthy of the Nobel, as well as Congressional recognition.
Chicago and all of Illinois knows what’s at risk with unchecked power. We’re experiencing it with commando-style ICE raids.
Congress should reform the Insurrection Act to protect against unwarranted military occupation of American cities.
But a Senate Republican just blocked it.
While drug trafficking cases go unprosecuted, money is spent raiding innocent Chicagoans.
Shameful.
Thank you @merkley.senate.gov for speaking out against the Trump Administration's abuse of power.
We cannot sit idly by while a person who wants to be king takes us down the path to authoritarianism.
This is appalling.
We’re hearing from the nominee to lead the Criminal Division now, which oversees public corruption cases.
Will this Trump nominee rebuild this Section?

Yet another violent insurrectionist… pardoned by Donald Trump on his first day in office… threatening society… and reoffending.
Insurrectionists have already shown they have no respect for democracy and the rule of law.
They shouldn’t serve at ICE.

BREAKING: Sen. DURBIN sends official congressional correspondence asking if Kristi Noem has hired any January 6th rioters at ICE.
The Shawnee National Forest is one of Illinois’ richest natural resources, which is why I introduced the Shawnee National Forest Conservation Act to protect more than 13,000 acres of Shawnee.
The Senate Agriculture Committee advanced this bill today.
Secretary Noem is relaxing hiring requirements for ICE to quickly hire thousands of people to help meet Stephen Miller’s arbitrary arrest quota.
Lower standards make misconduct issues worse.
She needs to reverse these decisions.
No American should be forced to choose between their home and health care.
But if Republicans refuse to extend the ACA premium tax credits, more Americans will be facing just that decision.
Chicago is less safe under President Trump’s unprecedented, unnecessary, and unlawful abuse of power.
Mr. President, stop letting Putin humiliate you. He isn’t serious.
It’s obvious now we need to vote on the Russia sanctions bill immediately. We cannot use meetings that are no longer happening as an excuse.
22 million Americans are about to see their health insurance premiums double.
Congress must prevent this.
