The American people have been clear: they are not okay with Trump’s cruel kidnappings and disappearances of immigrants across the country. Congress must hear their pleas to push back against this lawlessness and pass my Dignity for Detained Immigrants Act.
73% of people detained by ICE have NO CRIMINAL RECORD. The Trump admin is throwing every immigrant they can find into detention centers, many of which have reports of denied medical care, rotten food, and unsanitary conditions. It is not okay and we cannot allow it to continue.
The right-wing Supreme Court majority is planning to hand Trump even more power — destroying our checks & balances and putting democracy in danger. America doesn’t have kings. We cannot let this authoritarian administration take over the entire government. www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...
Trump’s secret police are detaining people because of the language they speak, the street corner they hang out on, or just how they look. This authoritarian administration’s goal is fear — but we won’t be intimidated out of standing up for what’s right. We’ll fight back.
Congress has just NINE voting days left before Republicans let the ACA tax credits expire. It’s time for Speaker Johnson to put a bill on the floor to stop premiums from doubling or tripling for millions of Americans.
In October, I demanded answers from Trump’s ICE on its wrongful arrests of U.S. citizens. Nearly two months later, they haven’t responded — and they’ve continued illegally detaining and assaulting U.S. citizens. This must end. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...
Trump and Republicans gave ICE $45 billion in their Big Bad Betrayal Bill to ramp up their campaign to kidnap and disappear immigrants — sending many to inhumane detention centers. Yet DHS is refusing to allow members of Congress to conduct oversight visits of these facilities.
The conditions in many immigration detention centers are horrifying. Inedible food. Individuals forced to sleep on the floor next to overflowing toilets. Pregnant women shackled and suffering miscarriages. It is a system designed to break peoples’ spirit, akin to torture.
A balanced budget cannot be reached by just slashing spending without dramatically increasing poverty. That’s what Trump and Republicans are doing — that’s why millions are struggling to afford groceries and rent. All while passing tax breaks for their billionaire buddies.
I was honored to stand alongside Mahmoud Khalil, who was wrongfully detained, to introduce my Dignity for Detained Immigrants Act. He and the thousands of immigrants in detention or who have been detained deserve better from this country.
My Dignity for Detained Immigrants Act establishes real standards for immigrant detention and phases out for-profit facilities. This corrupt administration shouldn’t be allowed to funnel billions of dollars to private prisons companies who donated millions to Trump’s campaign.
23 people have died in immigration detention this year under the Trump administration, and ICE seems to be lying about the circumstances. They told Congress that Chaofeng Ge died by suicide, but he was found with his hands and feet tied. That simply doesn’t add up.
Republicans want to slash programs across the government and make sure there’s no way for future administrations to fund them. That means programs like Medicare and Social Security would be on the chopping block.
