Delivery routes in #NC04 are operating with reduced fleets because USPS vehicles are going unrepaired for months, causing delays & putting the safety of carriers at risk. I’m demanding information from USPS on how they plan to address the urgent safety concerns and the mounting backlog of repairs.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govNov 24(source)

There's no reason for border agents to be in North Carolina. It's dividing our communities and putting children and families at risk. I joined WPTF Radio’s Lisa Price to further discuss this unnecessary use of federal resources, and our community’s response. www.youtube.com/watch?v=hN3L...

It’s now reported that DHS has reversed course and will continue border agent operations in NC. This ugly, systemic targeting of Black and Brown Americans is deeply troubling. I will ALWAYS stand with our immigrant communities—they deserve dignity and respect. www.wral.com/news/ap/dc93...

NC immigration enforcement operation ‘not over’ despite earlier reports, DHS says

DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said on Thursday the immigration enforcement operation in North Carolina is “not over and is not ending anytime soon.”

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govNov 20(source)

If you see anything from Border Patrol or ICE that should not be happening, please contact my office at 919-967-7924. (2/2)

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govNov 20(source)

While I am relieved to hear that Border Patrol is leaving their operations North Carolina, I encourage all residents in the Fourth District to remain vigilant and continue to support and protect the safety of our neighbors and our communities. (1/2)

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govNov 20(source)

Thousands of kids in our community are missing class out of fear that their family might be ripped apart for the 'crime' of being brown in America. This administration's actions are inhumane and must stop immediately. (2/2)

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govNov 20(source)

It’s a week before Thanksgiving, a time when students are learning the power of community with friends and family. Instead, Trump ordered federal agents to sweep the Triangle in a show of force. (1/2) www.newsobserver.com/news/local/e...

Attendance drops in Wake, Durham, Chapel Hill schools during Border Patrol surge

Nearly 1 in 9 Wake County students were absent on Tuesday, far higher than the normal total.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govNov 19(source)

Today, I sat down with Mayor Leonardo Williams to discuss the ongoing Border Patrol and ICE activity in North Carolina. Immigrants strengthen our communities, and we are committed to protecting our neighbors and ensuring that Durham remains a safe and welcoming place for all.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govNov 18(source)

Today, I joined @demwomencaucus.bsky.social in honoring the survivors of Jeffrey Epstein. We must release all the Epstein Files to deliver the full truth to the American people, bring justice to perpetrators, and give peace to survivors.

If you are a resident of NC-04 & have been impacted by these operations, please call my office at 919-967-7924 for assistance. An ICE Privacy Release Form can be found at foushee.house.gov/ice-privacy-release-form.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govNov 18(source)

I am outraged by the continued and expanding deployment of U.S. Border Patrol and ICE agents in North Carolina. This is not law enforcement—it is state-sanctioned intimidation of our communities, and it cannot be tolerated. Read my full statement.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govNov 17(source)

I joined @adams.house.gov in opposing this unlawful deployment and am demanding DHS Secretary Noem and CBP Commissioner Scott to end this siege immediately. (2/2)

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govNov 17(source)

Border Patrol conducting “enforcement” in a city far from any border and without public justification is an unacceptable abuse of power. These arrests in Charlotte, driven by racial profiling, destabilize communities and violate basic civil rights. (1/2)

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govNov 13(source)

.@housedemocrats.bsky.social are still fighting to ensure everyone can have access to quality, affordable healthcare. Yesterday, I signed a discharge petition to force a vote on extending the ACA tax credits to keep healthcare affordable for millions of Americans. thehill.com/homenews/hou...

A Continuing Resolution that allows people to lose their healthcare isn't a 'clean bill'. I voted against the GOP's budget bill that doesn't address rising healthcare costs and puts the healthcare of hundreds of thousands of North Carolinians at risk. Read my full statement.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govNov 12(source)

Today, I joined @housedemocrats.bsky.social in welcoming Republicans back from their 7-week paid vacation. We've been in D.C. fighting to pass legislation that lowers the cost of living and the cost of healthcare, and we don't plan on stopping anytime soon.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govNov 12(source)

Thank you to all the #NC04 veterans who joined my Congressional Veterans Briefing this week! Our veterans have sacrificed so much to safeguard our democracy, and I'll never stop fighting to ensure they receive the benefits and government support they have earned and deserve.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govNov 11(source)

As the spouse of a veteran, I know firsthand the profound sacrifices our servicemembers make to protect our nation's freedom. On #VeteransDay, we honor and celebrate their invaluable service to our country. Thank you today, and every day, for your courage, dedication, and sacrifice.
