I met with San Diego County superintendents and administrators to talk about how federal immigration enforcement near schools is hurting students’ mental health and academic performance and putting enormous pressure on families, teachers, and staff. ICE is making us less safe.

I hosted a conversation with military families in Murphy Canyon to provide an update on the ongoing government shutdown and hear about their concerns. I’m doing everything I can to support our military community and reopen the government.

Just so we’re clear: blatant political propaganda is illegal under the Hatch Act. Glad to see San Diego International Airport doing the right thing and rejecting this.

ICE isn’t going after criminals. They’re going after people who help us put food on the table – and it’s raising our food prices.

Trump administration says immigration enforcement threatens higher food prices

U.S. farmers face labor shortages and potential food price hikes due to Trump’s immigration policy, the administration acknowledged in a Federal Registry document.

I’m hosting an upcoming ceremony to honor Vietnam Veterans and their families for their service and sacrifice. If you or someone you know is a Vietnam Veteran in CA-51, please join me to receive recognition: sarajacobs.house.gov/vietnam-vete...

Promises made, promises broken (again and again). Trump has done nothing but drive up the costs of everyday goods with his tariffs and the complete chaos of his administration – and Americans are literally paying the price.

U.S. consumers bearing more than half the cost of tariffs so far, Goldman Sachs says

The findings suggest U.S. consumers will continue to struggle with high prices — something Trump had promised to address in the run-up to his re-election.

I just met with local health care providers who confirmed: if Republicans let ACA premium tax credits expire, thousands of San Diegans will see HUGE increases in their health insurance costs and be forced to decide between medical treatment and rent. We can’t let that happen.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govOct 16(source)

I was glad to meet with local nonprofit partners – including ASYMCA, SDMAC, STEP, Zero8Hundred, and Feeding San Diego – to discuss the impacts of the government shutdown on our service members and their families and how these organizations are stepping up to provide support.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govOct 16(source)

It’s Day 16. Here’s the situation: Democrats are fighting to lower health care costs for millions of Americans; House Republicans are fighting for the sake of fighting (and to block the Epstein Files…) They still won’t negotiate. They won’t return to DC to vote. They’re MIA.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govOct 16(source)

ICE isn’t going after criminals. They went after and deported the father of a U.S. Marine.

Marine dad deported after being detained by ICE at Camp Pendleton, son says

The couple's children told NBC 7 their parents were taken into custody by ICE while trying to visit their pregnant daughter on Camp Pendleton.

THIS is how you fight fascism: refuse to give in, refuse to play a role in state censorship, and refuse to give your leaders a free pass when your job is holding them accountable. I’m proud to see nearly every media outlet reject this loyalty test.

US news outlets reject Pentagon press access policy

At least 20 news organizations declined to sign a new Pentagon access policy for journalists, warning of the potential for less comprehensive coverage of the world’s most powerful military ahead of a Tuesday deadline to accept new restrictions.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govOct 16(source)

Shutdown Day 15: Speaker Mike Johnson is STILL refusing to bring back House Republicans to Congress and negotiate to protect health care for Americans and reopen the government.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govOct 15(source)

This isn’t business-as-usual military action – it’s murder. There was no public evidence, no due process, and no legal justification. Thoughtless action like this is how we wind up in endless wars and how our service members become targets. This is beyond shameful.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govOct 14(source)

If Republicans let this happen, millions of Americans will be priced out of health care and be unable to afford chemo, insulin, heart medication, and more. tcf.org/content/comm...

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govOct 13(source)

Today has been a long time coming – I’m so relieved that the Israeli hostages are finally home and that humanitarian aid is finally getting to people in Gaza. I’m hopeful that the ceasefire will continue to hold and that we can begin working toward lasting peace in the region.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govOct 13(source)

Since he took office, President Trump has undermined Native Americans’ rights, sovereignty, sacred lands, funds, and more. As we recognize Indigenous Peoples’ Day, it’s important to understand just how far we have to go to live up to our trust and treaty responsibilities to them.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govOct 12(source)

71% of immigrants detained by ICE have zero criminal convictions. But that’s not stopping private prisons from cashing in on the Trump Administration’s xenophobia – despite their history of horrific treatment of immigrants.

2025 Fiscal Year Among the Deadliest in ICE History for Detained Migrants

Nearly all of ICE’s detention centers are run by privately owned companies and have been criticized for overcrowding and unsanitary living conditions.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govOct 11(source)

This half-baked idea exploits children, tricking them with a few bucks into potentially dangerous situations when they don't fully understand the legal system.

Trump administration offering some unaccompanied migrant children $2,500 to self-deport, according to memo

Immigration and Customs Enforcement said the offer is a “strictly voluntary option to return home to their families.”

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govOct 10(source)

Service members, TSA workers, and air traffic controllers are working without pay because Republicans shut down the government. My Republican colleagues in Congress need to come back to DC and vote to protect health care and reopen the government.

Jewish Family Service gives free groceries to federal workers during government shutdown

San Diego nonprofits are preparing for the long haul as the government shutdown enters its sixth day.

So Pete Hegseth is getting gender affirming care while kicking highly qualified, highly trained trans service members out of our military? Got it.
