Trump’s tariffs are hurting our economy – costing our families thousands of extra dollars per year and costing thousands of jobs per month.

Tariffs may have cost US economy thousands of jobs monthly, Fed analysis reveals

A new Fed study estimates tariffs cost the U.S. economy 19,000 jobs per month in 2025, potentially raising unemployment by 0.1 percentage points.

Travel and tourism support thousands of local workers and families. So I was glad to join a roundtable with business leaders and officials from the U.S. Travel Association and San Diego Tourism Authority about the challenges they’re facing, from infrastructure to visa issues.

Urban Street Angels provides housing and support for youth experiencing homelessness in San Diego. I visited their La Mesa office again to see their incredible work on the ground.

Over the past year, Head Start programs like Neighborhood House Association in San Diego have faced a barrage of threats and attacks on funding from the Trump Administration. I won’t stop fighting to protect access to affordable early education and child care.

Fraud in the care economy is nowhere near the epidemic levels that some conspiracy theorists suggest. That’s why I was glad to visit ARCC Center Foundation, which connects kids with developmental disabilities to respite workers, to hear about their work and auditing requirements.

That still leaves THOUSANDS of DHS agents in Minneapolis and many more in cities across the country. Our communities will be safer when ICE and Border Patrol are out. www.cnn.com/politics/liv...

Live updates: The latest on the Trump administration | CNN Politics

The Department of Homeland Security will withdraw 700 personnel from Minneapolis, according to border czar Tom Homan. Follow for live news updates.

“ICE is not a law unto itself.”

Minnesota judge counts ICE violations at nearly 100 court orders: "ICE is not a law unto itself"

A federal judge is calling out ICE and its alleged noncompliance with court orders connected to actions in Minnesota. The strong statement was made in the context of a court order for a man held witho...

I visited Our Lady of Guadalupe Parish’s Pope Francis Center, which offers legal aid, spiritual guidance, and mental health services for immigrants and families. As a proud immigrant and border community, we will continue to stand against violence from ICE and Border Patrol.

Donald Trump has already grifted billions of dollars while in office from crypto, a Qatari plane, and more. Now he wants to take another $10 billion from American taxpayers.

Trump Sues IRS, Treasury for $10 Billion for Tax-Return Leak

President Donald Trump sued the US Treasury and Internal Revenue Service for at least $10 billion over an unauthorized disclosure of his tax returns to the press during his first term in office, poten...

Everyone should have access to accurate information about abortion and reproductive care so they can make informed decisions. That’s why I was glad to join the discussion after TuYo Theatre’s production of “Everything You Need to Know About Abortion in One Hour or Less.”

In only the first 9 months of the Trump Administration, there was a sevenfold increase in ICE arrests of people with zero criminal convictions. They’re not going after criminals. They’re not going after the “worst of the worst.”

Deportations, ICE street arrests are way up — and so are arrests of immigrants with no criminal convictions

The jump in arrests and transfers to ICE custody resulted in a sevenfold increase in arrests of people with no convictions, the analysis found.

We know the names of Renee Good and Alex Pretti. But 6 others were killed by ICE or died in their custody this year: Luis Gustavo Núñez Cáceres, Geraldo Lunas Campos, Víctor Manuel Díaz, Parady La, Luis Beltrán Yáñez–Cruz, and Heber Sánchez Domínguez. They deserve justice.

Eight people have died in dealings with ICE so far in 2026. These are their stories

The high-profile killings of Minneapolis residents Alex Pretti and Renee Nicole Good are only two among many

Americans are deeply concerned about affording education, housing, health care, and having a family. And now, they have to worry about Trump sending lethal immigration forces into their communities. Trump is making everyday life harder and scarier.

Voters See a Middle-Class Lifestyle as Drifting Out of Reach, Poll Finds

Last year, at least 32 people died in ICE custody. That same year, nearly every Republican voted to give ICE an extra $75 billion. ICE shouldn’t get a penny more – and I’m fighting to claw back that money.

2025 was ICE’s deadliest year in two decades. Here are the 32 people who died in custody

The deaths came as the Trump administration ramped up immigration enforcement, detaining a record number of people

In the 70s, the DOJ sued Donald Trump for housing discrimination when his properties consistently rented to white applicants but turned away people of color who applied. So no, I’m not shocked that Donald Trump still wants to make housing more inaccessible and only for the rich.

5-year-old Génesis is an American citizen; ICE deported her to Honduras anyway. Detaining and deporting kids is horrific and cruel and fails to make us any safer. Bring her home now.

Five-year-old deported to Honduras despite being US citizen is latest child victim of Trump crackdown

Mother whose visa application was pending says she will send girl back to US soon accompanied by another relative

People in Minnesota aren’t going to the hospital or getting the medical care they need out of fear of ICE. How is ICE actually helping public safety??

Fear of ICE is driving patients away from medical care

Health workers say many patients aren't coming in for necessary care out of fear they'll be detained by federal agents.

The Trump Administration has dodged questions from Congress and provided bogus legal rationale for these military strikes – so I hope this lawsuit brings actual transparency, justice, and an order to stop these illegal strikes.

First wrongful death lawsuit filed against Trump administration over drug boat strikes

The families of two Trinidadian men who were killed in an Oct. 14 strike on an alleged drug boat accused the U.S. in a lawsuit Tuesday of wrongful death and extrajudicial killings.

Two officers fired at Alex Pretti. He wasn’t threatening them. He wasn’t brandishing a gun. He was defending a woman who was thrown to the ground and pepper-sprayed by DHS. JUSTICE FOR ALEX.

Exclusive: Two officers fired their guns during Pretti encounter, Homeland Security says in initial report | CNN Politics

Two officers fired their guns during the fatal encounter with Alex Pretti in Minneapolis over the weekend, according to an initial report to Congress from the Department of Homeland Security reviewed ...

We don’t want Greg Bovino anywhere near California.

Border Patrol Commander Greg Bovino returning to position in El Centro: Sources
