With DHS funding set to expire at the end of the week, House Democrats have proposed real, commonsense reforms to ICE – including ensuring agents wear body cameras, requiring warrants for ICE to enter private property, prohibiting agents from entering schools, churches, and more.

President Trump promised that he would only go after “the worst of the worst” with his immigration policies, yet 95% of those detained by ICE have no criminal record.
Their journey sends a powerful message of faith, compassion, and persistence, especially during these difficult times. Thank you for sharing your peace and light with all of us.
How incredible to see the Walk for Peace come to a close here in Annapolis! These 19 Buddhist monks made the 2,300-mile, 108-day pilgrimage from the Hương Đạo Vipassana Bhavana Center in Fort Worth, Texas, all the way to Maryland.
This week, I met with Maryland high school student advocates from Make Our Schools Safe to discuss commonsense gun safety legislation to protect our students.
In honor of their 14-year-old daughter, Alyssa Alhadeff, one of the students who tragically lost their life at Parkland, Lori and Ilan Alhadeff founded Make Our Schools Safe to ensure no other family had to endure this kind of tragedy.
Nearly 8 years ago, on February 14th, 2018, we witnessed one of the deadliest school shootings in our nation’s history when a gunman opened fire at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, killing 17 people and injuring 17 others.
Thank you to Tim O’Ferrall, General Manager of the Fort Meade Alliance for organizing!
As the only Marylander on a defense committee, I joined President of the Fort Meade Alliance, Roxanne Wood, and Corporate Vice President and President of Northrop Grumman Mission Systems, Roshan Roeder to provide an update from Washington, discuss ongoing challenges at our installations, and more.
Almost 20 years ago in the Odenton Library, a few committed individuals came together to build the Fort Meade Alliance – and that alliance continues to support the economic growth and national security interests of Fort Meade and the region to this day.
Generations of Americans fought to give all our neighbors the fundamental right to vote. We will not go back.
More than 140 million Americans don't have passports, and nearly 70 million women who took their spouse’s name have invalid birth certificates. I voted NO on the SAVE Act last year, and I voted NO on the SAVE America Act this week.
Do you remember the SAVE Act? It’s back on the House floor, and worse than before. The new SAVE America Act would require voters to provide a birth certificate or passport as proof of citizenship AND it would force states to turn over private voter data to the Department of Homeland Security.
BREAKING: Six Republicans just joined House Democrats to end the President’s chaotic & reckless tariffs on Canada. There isn’t a lot of good news to share from the House floor, but this is a really important win for small business owners, our local economy, & our neighbors facing skyrocketing costs.
As this Administration continues to attack our civil service – just last week finalizing a rule that would allow the firing of nearly 50,000 federal workers – we will continue to fight for our hard-working federal employees.
I’m so grateful I could speak at the AFGE Congressional and DC Council Breakfast yesterday to thank them for their partnership and steadfast work upholding collective bargaining rights and leaning in during these difficult times.
In Congress, we’ve worked together on bipartisan legislation to push back on the sledgehammer of DOGE, protect federal workers during government shutdowns, discharge & pass a Resolution turning back the President’s unprecedented Executive Order eliminating 60 years of collective bargaining, & more.
Representing over 45,000 federal workers, AFGE has been one of my closest partners on the Hill.
As the chaos in Washington sows division, I’m so proud that Howard County and Howard County Executive Calvin Ball are continuing to come together to proudly celebrate the cultures that make our communities so special. May the Year of the Fire Horse bring you growth and new opportunity!
Happy Year of the Fire Horse! Howard County outdid themselves with this year’s Lunar New Year celebration – featuring lion dances from the Taiwanese American Association and other incredible cultural displays by the vibrant Howard County AAPI community!🧧
