Every child born in the United States is an American citizen and we will keep fighting until this constitutional right is fully and clearly protected.

I’m deeply disappointed by the Supreme Court’s decision making it tougher for courts to block Trump’s unconstitutional attempt to end birthright citizenship.

Proud to introduce the bipartisan Marshall “Major” Taylor Congressional Gold Medal Act alongside Congressman Jim Baird and 43 of our House colleagues. Major Taylor was a trailblazer whose perseverance and excellence broke barriers and inspired generations. #MajorTaylor

The Illinois Congressional Delegation stands united in the fight for a fair and just immigration process. We will not rest and will work tirelessly to champion comprehensive reforms that prioritize human rights and due process, and we will continue demanding transparency.

I’m deeply grateful no lives were lost in the attack on our base in Qatar. Every parent, spouse, and child of our troops deserves that sigh of relief. As a member of @HouseForeign, I’m committed to keeping our service members safe and pushing for diplomacy and de-escalation.

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govJun 23(source)

We cannot continue to accept this as normal. Our communities deserve real solutions and common-sense gun safety laws.

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govJun 23(source)

The shooting outside CrossPointe Community Church is devastating. No one should have to worry about their safety while in a place of worship. I’m thankful for the brave response from church staff and the Wayne Police Department.

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson Condemns Escalation in Middle East, Calls for Congressional Oversight

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govJun 22(source)

President Trump’s reckless decision to bomb Iran undermines peace & violates the Constitution. The Founders gave *Congress* the power to declare war—not the president. We must reclaim this authority to prevent endless, unauthorized wars. #NoWarWithIran

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govJun 22(source)

Has the President just committed U.S. forces against Iran without Congressional authorization? If so, it marks not just a constitutional breach—but a perilous precedent. War powers are not a matter of executive impulse. Congress must assert its role.

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govJun 21(source)

Today, we remember a man who broke barriers and inspired generations of athletes.

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govJun 21(source)

On June 21, 1932, the world lost Marshall ‘Major’ Taylor, the first Black world champion in cycling and one of the greatest athletes of his time. He rose to global fame in the face of relentless racism, winning races with strength and dignity.

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govJun 20(source)

I’m grateful Congressman Max Miller and his family are safe. The rise in political violence is deeply alarming. No elected official should fear for their life or the safety of their loved ones. Congress must act urgently to ensure every Member can serve without threats, intimidation, or harm.
