ICE now gets over $30B a year with the surge from Republicans’ Big Ugly Bill. That puts a domestic enforcement agency in the same spending range as major national militaries. This is an out-of-control, bloated agency getting a blank check from Congress while basic accountability is ignored.

Can’t wait to haul up Stephen Miller in front of the Oversight Comittee.

Impeach Kristi Noem. Abolish ICE.

Kristi Noem must be impeached. ICE must be abolished. Democrats in the Senate cannot fund DHS. Trump has created a militarized police force accountable only to him. These agents need to leave our cities NOW.

Robert Garcia@robertgarcia.bsky.socialJan 23(source)

As an immigrant who spoke only Spanish as a kid, I can see myself in Liam Ramos and so many other children who are being terrorized by ICE. My anger and fury is real, and I look forward to hauling all those responsible in front of the oversight committee when I’m chair.

Not sure who needs to hear this, but Donald Trump is the worst President this country has ever had.

Donald Trump spent his whole campaign saying he was going to release the Epstein files. Then, he called it a hoax. Now, the DOJ says it "found" a million new documents, but Trump said the investigation was over just last week. This Administration can't be trusted.

The new documents that Congress has forced the Justice Department to release make one thing clear: We are witnessing a criminal White House cover-up.

This is a White House cover up. RELEASE THE FILES.

We are going all in - and on all platforms - to hold Trump and those harming the American people accountable. Thanks to the NYT for covering the critical work of Oversight Dems. ➡️ www.nytimes.com/2025/12/18/u...

🚨 BREAKING: Oversight Dems received 95,000 new photos from Jeffrey Epstein's estate. These disturbing images raise even more questions about Epstein and his relationships with some of the most powerful men in the world. Time to end this White House cover-up. Release the files!

George is a U.S. veteran who served in Iraq. Last July, he was detained by ICE for days without due process or the ability to call his family. He was betrayed by his own country, which he fought so hard for—which he still fights for today. This is not the America we believe in.

Instead of taking immediate action, the President and DOJ continue their White House cover-up of the Epstein files. This is not justice. They should release all the files, TODAY.

Joined @oversightdemocrats.house.gov at our first field hearing on ICE raids in LA. We heard horrific stories from community members and workers. We are going to hold Donald Trump, Kristi Noem, and Stephen Miller accountable.

Oversight Dems have launched the Immigration Enforcement Dashboard to record possible misconduct during immigration operations by the Trump Administration. It archives harmful actions against U.S. citizens and immigrants nationwide so we can hold this Administration accountable.
