Stories that DHS doesn’t want you to hear. Example #1: When U.S. citizen Leonardo Garcia Venegas filmed Trump's agents forcing his brother to the ground, he was roughly detained and handcuffed for over an hour. They aren't going after "the worst of the worst"—they're assaulting citizens.
An excerpt of Garcia Venega’s story.
Whether you live in a red state or blue state, Donald Trump is undermining all Americans’ constitutional rights— And pushing our nation closer and closer to an autocracy. @merkley.senate.gov is holding the floor to sound the alarm. Everyone needs to pay attention.
TUNE IN: I’m STILL on the Senate floor exposing Trump’s attempts to trample on the Constitution. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymDt...
Marimar Martinez in Chicago was *not* armed when Trump’s agents shot her.   When DHS tries to rewrite reality, body cameras expose the truth.   The footage is clear. We will not let Trump cover up his cruelty.
A federal judge again Friday ordered agents in Chicago for immigration operations to wear and turn on their body cameras, telling them "that was not a suggestion."
Trump’s idea of being “tough on crime?” Forcing thousands of DOJ, FBI, DEA, ATF and more of our federal officers to abandon real criminal investigations to back ICE’s reckless operations.   Americans are less safe because of it—and I’m demanding answers.
DHS says they “don’t arrest U.S. citizens for immigration enforcement.” But at least 170 Americans they’ve detained know that’s not true. Don’t ignore their stories. If Trump can detain citizens—including combat Veterans—for days without cause, no one is safe from his whims.
Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents. They’ve had their necks kneeled on. They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear. At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them. By @nicolefoy.bsky.social
The Americans who will be hurt the most if Republicans let ACA tax credits expire? Those in red states. Democrats are fighting harder for Republicans' own constituents than their elected representatives are.
A graphic detailing ACA Marketplace coverage.
I went to war to defend our nation. Now a wannabe dictator is trying to tear it apart—defying court orders, censoring the press, intimidating peaceful protestors and misusing our troops. Speak up. Speak out. Stay peaceful. Be safe. No kings.
The excessive force being used by Trump's agents in Chicago is unacceptable. From tear gassing peaceful protestors to violently arresting U.S. citizens— Enough is enough. I'm calling for an investigation into all uses of force by agents involved in "Operation Midway Blitz".
CBS News Chicago: Sen. Tammy Duckworth calls for inspector general probe into federal agents' tactics in Chicago immigration enforcement
Donald Trump will not stop trying to attack our state. Our leaders, our communities and multiple judges have made it clear: we don’t need troops in Chicago. Political opposition is not rebellion.
The Trump administration on Friday asked the Supreme Court to allow the deployment of National Guard troops in the Chicago area, escalating President Donald Trump’s conflict with Democratic governors over using the military on U.S. soil.
The Trump Admin's propaganda has been debunked by multiple federal judges, including one Trump appointed— And now even by their own reports. They're peddling lies to justify zip-tying kids and detaining citizens— And hoping you don't notice when the facts don't back them up.
Remember when Stephen Miller claimed the Chicago apartment raid was on a building “filled with Tren de Aragua terrorists”? Well, DHS has now dropped the number of alleged TdA members arrested in the building from 2 to 1.
I’m deeply concerned that the military is losing yet another highly decorated commander—especially as Trump expands unlawful military action in the Southern Hemisphere. Everyone should be worried by Trump’s pattern of prioritizing loyalty over competence.
Breaking News: The U.S. military commander overseeing the escalating attacks against boats in the Caribbean Sea is stepping down, two officials said on Thursday.
Cut waste, they say—as they gut health care for families in the name of saving money, then turn around, fund tax cuts for billionaires and pour millions of taxpayer dollars into ad campaigns.   Make it make sense.
The most expensive political ad campaign of the year is being run by the Department of Homeland Security, spending at least $51 million on ads thanking President Trump for securing the border.
If Hegseth were confident in his ability to lead our troops—who literally swore an oath to defend the right to a free press—he wouldn't need to do it in secret. He must undo these restrictions. Americans deserve to know how DoD is spending its nearly $1 trillion budget.
Five major broadcast news networks announce they will not sign the Pentagon’s new press policy, joining several other media organizations that have objected to a set of rules that many journalists consider restrictive.
This hopeful moment must mark a turning point in the years-long efforts to deescalate tensions in the region. The war in Gaza must end, the threat posed by Hamas must be eliminated, the continued suffering of innocent Palestinians in Gaza must be alleviated & a two-state solution must be negotiated.
Such an incredible relief. I am thrilled for the families who will be able to hug their loved ones for the first time in more than 2 years, but my heart also goes out to so many others who, in the terrible wake of 10/7, will never see theirs again--including the family of Hersh Goldberg-Polin.
Hamas has released all 20 remaining living hostages. The Israeli military says it has taken custody of them and will transport them onward to Israel. Follow AP's live updates.
Without ACA tax credits, a 64-year-old couple making $90K would face an extra $26,000 a year in premiums. Democrats are working to protect families—Republicans are ready to let these credits expire.
I was on the ground today in Broadview with Senator Durbin to conduct Congressional oversight on ICE’s processing facility.

As elected officials, we have a duty to ensure transparency within federal facilities. What is ICE hiding? Kristi Noem, what are you hiding?
These firings are illegal— And yet another example of Trump finding new ways to inflict harm on the American people and the programs they rely on. He's playing with Americans' livelihoods to try and help Republicans pass a budget that would kick you off your health care.
BREAKING: White House budget office says "substantial" firings of federal workers have started as the Trump administration exerts shutdown leverage.
