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.
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.
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)
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)
.@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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
Given that Speaker Johnson won't promise a vote on lowering healthcare costs, a deal that excludes the ACA tax credits puts the healthcare of over 25,000 people in my district at risk.
I'm ready to find a solution to address the healthcare crisis & open the government—but this deal doesn't do that.
Still, the leveraging of food assistance programs for political points continues to harm Americans who need help the most.
This administration needs to carry out its responsibilities and ensure that families can put food on the table.
It's not about politics, it's about saving lives. (3/3)
Just this morning, families across North Carolina received partial benefits which will help them put food on the table, thanks to the swift action of the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services.
These payments will ensure households can access groceries for the time being. (2/3)
The Supreme Court enabling Trump to pause SNAP payments will hurt millions of Americans.
This administration is once again showing us exactly who they fight for—and it’s not hungry children, seniors, or working families. (1/3)

I joined former Congresswoman Eva Clayton and the Orange County Dept. of Aging at the Seymour Senior Center to discuss SNAP, the shutdown, and support for our seniors.
Protecting SNAP and the health of our seniors isn't just about keeping promises—it’s about strengthening our communities.
Trump is now appealing a court ruling that would require this Administration to pay November SNAP benefits in full.
The GOP's insistence on making SNAP a political pawn in their shutdown scheme is heartless and does nothing to help everyday Americans.

In Durham, a couple making $85,000 a year could see their monthly health care bill skyrocket from $574 to $2,560 next year.
Republicans are making a choice—and it’s costing working North Carolina families thousands.
Trump is now leveraging SNAP in his effort to pass a short-term budget bill that ignores rising healthcare costs.
The American people deserve better.
@housedemocrats.bsky.social are demanding that Trump pay November SNAP benefits in full TODAY.

My district is home to thousands of federal workers, and their voices should be heard in the halls of Congress during this shutdown.
It's time to end the political games. Republicans need to open the House so we can get to work. (3/3)
Alongside my Democrat colleagues, I have been clear in demanding bipartisan negotiations on a long-term budget that will serve the needs of the American people—including lowering health care costs.
Instead, the House has not voted on legislation in over 40 days. (2/3)
As of today, the ongoing government shutdown has set the record for the longest shutdown in American history.
I know this is a difficult time for many. Please don't forget that you can still contact my office for assistance by visiting foushee.house.gov or calling 919-967-7924. (1/3)
