Lying about a citizenship interview to arrest someone isn’t clever; it’s cruel. Mohsen Mahdawi is a lawful U.S. resident. His unlawful detention is another attack on everyone’s First Amendment and due process rights.

Every Part of This ICE Arrest Is Horrific—Especially the Location

Mohsen Mahdawi, a Palestinian student leader at Columbia University, was arrested in a trap set by federal immigration agents.

President Trump is seeing what he can get away with. If he can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia off to a prison in El Salvador without any consequences, he can (and will) do the same to American citizens. We’re fighting to make sure he abides by the Constitution.

Because of President Trump’s trade war, Americans are expecting unemployment and inflation to rise. All pain, no gain for our economy.

Americans are rarely this pessimistic about the economy.

Who could have seen this coming? (Everyone)

As Trump alienates allies with US tariffs, China is poised to exploit the gaps

Donald Trump is trying to to turn his global trade war into a one-on-one showdown with China. In doing so, he’s alienated some of the key U.S. partners who could boost America’s position in a fight be...

Trump’s tariffs are about to make your Amazon cart even more expensive.

Amazon CEO Andy Jassy says he believes sellers will pass increased tariff costs on to consumers

Amazon CEO Andy Jassy said he thinks third-party sellers "will pass costs on" to consumers as a result of President Donald Trump's sweeping tariffs.

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

Thought the tariff drama was over? Think again. Trump’s latest tariff scheme – his blanket 10% tariffs on all countries plus the 145% tariffs on China – will actually cost YOU more than his other tariff plan from last week.🤦‍♀️

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

San Diego and New York City were tied for the highest inflation rate in the country in March. You know what doesn’t help that? On again, off again tariffs and zero action on reducing the costs of child care and housing.

San Diego tied for highest inflation in the U.S.

New York and San Diego had an inflation rate of 3.8% in March.

Take it from me: we need to tax rich people MORE. Elon Musk and Donald Trump are stealing from YOU to give themselves bigger tax cuts. But we are fighting back!

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

San Diego is already in a child care crisis and Trump’s cuts to Head Start have made it worse – closing five regional Head Start offices and counting.

Federal Head Start office closures leave child care providers uncertain

Providers say they don't know who to call about grant funding, staffing and other federal regulations.

The most important thing to know about DOGE: they’re stealing from the American people to fund tax cuts for the rich. That’s why I introduced the Delete DOGE Act to stop them.

DOGE faces being defunded under "Delete DOGE Act": What to know

Democratic Representative Sara Jacobs introduced the Delete DOGE Act on April 3, seeking to defund the Elon Musk-led initiative.

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

DOGE is struggling to find *any* fraud in Social Security – but they’re still going to delay your benefits.

Why DOGE is struggling to find fraud in Social Security

Claims of massive fraud by Elon Musk and President Trump are at odds with reams of audits and reports on the agency’s spending.

Instead of more war toys, let’s have universal child care.

Hearing from YOU is an important part of my job. That’s why I’m hosting a town hall in El Cajon on April 22nd. I hope you’ll register and join me! www.eventbrite.com/e/town-hall-...

House Republicans want the rich to get even richer. They just advanced a budget that takes away YOUR health care and ability to put food on the table.

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

Today, House Republicans are putting the SAVE Act on the Floor, which will suppress the vote of millions of Americans and do nothing to secure our elections. I will be voting NO.

They’re not just going after criminals. They’re taking away legal ways to enter the U.S. and kicking out people who entered “the right way.” Let’s call it what it is: this is about kicking out all immigrants who aren’t white.

Migrants who entered U.S. via Biden-era CBP One app stripped of legal status, told to leave "immediately"

Migrants who came to the U.S. via a Biden-era online appointment app have been told to leave "immediately" in a message from the Department of Homeland Security.

The on again off again tariffs don’t win us any favors with our partners and allies – or our adversaries. It shows that the U.S. isn’t true to our word – so why bother negotiating with us or investing in America?

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govApr 9(source)

I had so much fun this weekend at the Egg Hunt in San Carlos! Thanks to the San Diego Parks and Rec Department for hosting this great event for our community. Happy Spring! 🐰🐣🌸
