Trump is now underwater on his signature issue - immigration. While it may be a surprise to some, it turns out that fighting for due process, Kilmar’s release, and for a just immigration system is actually winning over the public. It always pays off to do the right thing.
Poll that shows Trump underwater on all issues.

When the President defies the Supreme Court – that's a constitutional crisis. Due process is afforded to every single person living in our country – that's part of the Constitution and it’s worth defending.

We went to El Salvador with a congressional delegation demanding the release of Kilmar Abrego Garcia who is being illegally imprisoned in violation of a unanimous Supreme Court ruling. This is a constitutional crisis and Donald Trump must release Kilmer now.

Donald Trump is defying a Supreme Court order and illegally deporting legal residents like Kilmar Abrego Garcia. This is a constitutional crisis and we need to treat it as an attack on our Democracy. It’s time for a Democratic delegation to head to El Salvador.

We are in a constitutional crisis. The President is illegally sending people to foreign prisons. He’s defying a unanimous Supreme Court decision. Congress cannot be business as usual. We need to go to El Salvador and demand the release of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

Homeland Security agents showed up at two elementary schools in my district asking for 6 different students. They lied and said they had permission from guardians to see them. Thankfully, both principals denied them access. These actions are disgusting and shameful.

I am outraged and deeply concerned that Homeland Security agents visited two Los Angeles elementary schools in communities I represent. We are demanding answers from Secretary Noem and the Trump Administration.
@Lukas Walczak can we get this graphic asap? It’s early I know…. We should all be deeply angered and concerned by the attempt of Homeland Security agents to access two elementary schools in Southeast Los Angeles. Both schools are in my congressional district and part of the Los Angeles Unified School District. I commend the principals and staff at both schools who refused to allow the agents to enter without a warrant, and I’m grateful to Superintendent for working to protect all students across Los Angeles. It’s outrageous that Homeland Security would target children, and as a member of the Homeland Security Committee in Congress, I’m demanding answers immediately from Secretary Noem and the Trump Administration. We will not allow our students and their families to be intimidated or harmed.
