They’re sweeping up American citizens. They’re violating human rights. They’re not targeting criminals. ICE needs to be reined in now.

U.S citizen detained by ICE says she was denied water for 24 hours

Andrea Velez was taken into ICE custody during immigration enforcement operations in Los Angeles. She said she was held for 24 hours without access to water despite providing proof of citizenship. KNB...

Reminder: Trump’s tariffs aren’t a tax on foreign countries – they’re a tax on YOU every time you check out.

Trump said foreign countries would 'eat' tariffs—but U.S. consumers and businesses will actually pay 75% at best

Goldman Sachs estimates U.S. consumers now shoulder two-thirds of President Trump’s new tariff costs, with more companies planning to pass them on in the future.

Last week, I joined Bayside Community Center’s 3rd annual bocce ball tournament! It was so much fun to get outside, try something new, spend time in the community, and celebrate the great work Bayside does for San Diego.

Last week, I joined Parks After Dark in Linda Vista and supported their backpack and school supply giveaway! It was great to see so many families enjoying the evening in the park with music, activities, and food.

Natural disasters like hurricanes, flooding, and wildfires are actually dangerous, NOT IMMIGRANTS. And yet, Trump just reassigned FEMA workers to ICE. That’s not how you keep us safe.

FEMA Employees Reassigned to ICE

Probationary employees who had been on paid leave were told to report to ICE within seven days or lose their jobs. It could signal problems with ICE recruitment.

Is Pete Hegseth trying to be more and more disqualifying to be Secretary of Defense??

It Sure Looks Like Pete Hegseth Doesn’t Think Women Should Vote

If this video is any proof, the defense secretary has a dark vision for America.

This is the latest dress rehearsal for Trump’s full-blown authoritarian takeover.

Trump's takeover of Washington law enforcement begins as National Guard troops arrive

Some of the 800 National Guard members deployed by the Trump administration to assist with law enforcement have begun arriving in Washington, D.C.

It was great to chat with these teens at the 21iQInnovation Summer Bootcamp on Entrepreneurship. They had great questions about leadership and government, and I loved seeing their passion for innovation!

I secured $850k to build the new Grantville Safe Parking Site – which will provide folks sleeping in their cars with a safe place to park overnight and a pathway to permanent housing. We have a lot more work to do, but this is a step in the right direction.

Patrick Henry High Schooler Josh Brookens earned a 2025 Congressional Gold Medal for his achievements in community service, personal development (jazz trumpet), physical fitness (covering 1,800 miles by bike), and exploration. Proud to honor him as a CA-51 Outstanding Youth!

40% of Americans can’t afford a $1,000 emergency – and Trump’s tariffs will cost the average family over double that ($2,400!) every year.

Cars, coffee and clothing are poised to get pricier with new tariffs

The Trump administration’s latest tariffs are expected to drive up prices for U.S. consumers, with costs rising for everyday items such as groceries.

One of my most important responsibilities is conducting congressional oversight. That’s why I conducted an oversight visit of the U.S. Coast Guard at Sector San Diego to ensure their immigration operations follow the law and to have candid conversations with service members.

Accessing reproductive health data – without the user’s consent – happens all the time, by data brokers, police, and other bad actors. That’s why we need a federal standard – like the My Body, My Data Act – to end this.

Meta illegally collected Flo users’ menstrual data, jury rules

Meta has already disagreed with the decision.

It was so great to meet with Serving Seniors’ Civic Engagement Group, which empowers low-income seniors to address challenges in their communities, about their concerns, especially with Donald Trump’s new cuts to health care and food assistance.

Everyone involved in this decision should be ashamed of themselves. These brave Americans have served our country for over 15 years – and have earned retirement benefits instead of being shown the door.

Exclusive: US Air Force denies early retirement for group of transgender service members

The U.S. Air Force is denying early retirement to all transgender service members with between 15 and 18 years of military service, opting instead to force them out with no retirement benefits, according to a memo seen by Reuters.

I proudly secured $2 million in federal funding for the ASYMCA Center to expand child care services for our military families, and it was amazing to visit this week and see the positive impact it’s having on our community!

I joined the San Diego East County Chamber of Commerce to hear from local business and community leaders and talk about the impacts of the Republicans’ new budget on our community, workforce development, and more.

Cartels are motivated by money – not politics – so this designation won’t work, but it will make things worse by fueling more deaths and instability that deeper entrenches cartel power while also creating diplomatic blowback with Mexico.

Trump Directs Military to Target Foreign Drug Cartels

Donald Trump just raised tariffs to the highest levels since the Great Depression, and YOU are paying for them.
