ICE’s detention of pregnant women risks serious injury or even death. This cannot continue. I led 60 lawmakers in sending a letter to DHS/ICE, demanding that they follow federal regulations protecting pregnant women from detainment and inhumane mistreatment.

Proud to receive the Advancing Good Governance Award from Center Forward presented by Ambassador Anniken Huitfeldt. Common sense, bipartisan solutions lower costs and help families. I will keep putting progress over politics.

Working folks do not need more chaos. We need steady paychecks and fair prices. I will keep standing up to President Trump and his allies to lower costs, protect jobs, and make the economy work for all of us.
Congresswoman Robin Kelly@robinkelly.house.govNov 23(source)
Illinois families are paying $766 more because of President Trump and Republicans. Costs of groceries, gas, and rent keep climbing while working people fall behind. I am fighting his reckless, cost-raising agenda.

Trump chose billionaires over families. His Big Ugly Law makes historic SNAP cuts while millions struggle to put food on the table. I joined @HouseDemocrats.bsky.social to repeal these cuts and protect kids. No one should go hungry while the rich get richer. www.wowt.com/2025/11/20/d...
Democratic lawmakers introduce bill to reverse SNAP cuts
A team of House and Senate Democrats are working to reverse recent cuts to food assistance programs.

I joined @axios.com Live for a fireside chat on our broken health system—and how to fix it. We talked about the ACA, Medicaid, ghost networks, and maternal and rural health. I shared stories from families I represent who just want fair access to care they can trust.
Congresswoman Robin Kelly@robinkelly.house.govNov 22(source)
My heart aches for the families impacted by this decision. Just days before Thanksgiving, parents and loved ones remain detained instead of at home. This causes real pain and lasting harm; once again the President proves he isn't concerned about We The People.
Federal appeals court temporarily halts release of hundreds of Operation Midway Blitz detainees
A federal appeals court has temporarily halted the release on bond of hundreds of immigrants whose arrests during Operation Midway Blitz are being challenged under a consent decree.

As we mark Transgender Day of Remembrance, court cases continue to target the trans community.   I signed an amicus brief urging the Supreme Court against a ban on trans kids from playing sports consistent with their gender. Let kids play.

Today, CEC Co-Chair @balint.house.gov, @demwomencaucus.bsky.social Chair @fernandez.house.gov, & Senator @hirono.senate.gov led 130 Members of Congress in filing an amicus brief to the Supreme Court, highlighting how categorical trans sports bans harm ALL girls & urging SCOTUS to #LetKidsPlay!

Today, Congressional Equality Caucus Co-Chair Rep. Becca Balint (VT-AL), Democratic Women’s Caucus Chair Rep. Teresa Leger Fernández (NM-03), and Senator Mazie Hirono (HI) led 130 Members of Congress in filing an amicus brief at the Supreme Court in the cases of West Virginia v. B.P.J. and Little v. Hecox where the court will be considering whether categorical bans on transgender students participating in school sports consistent with their gender identity violate Title IX and the Equal Protection Clause. The brief, which argues that categorical bans on transgender students participating in school sports violate Title IX and the Equal Protection Clause, was joined by 9 Senators and 121 Representatives—more than twice as many signers than a brief led by Congressional Republicans in the case. Read our statement (arrow pointing right).

Medical nutrition therapy saves lives and keeps healthcare costs down. With Congresswoman Jen Kiggans, I introduced a bipartisan bill to help Medicare cover medical nutrition therapy for more conditions so families can receive the support they need to stay healthy.

Political violence has no place in America. President Trump's threats against Members of Congress, who have and continue to serve our country with courage and conviction, are despicable. His dangerous rhetoric must stop immediately and be fully condemned.
Congresswoman Robin Kelly@robinkelly.house.govNov 20(source)
On Transgender Day of Remembrance, we honor the transgender community members taken too soon by violence. In their memories, I will always protect trans lives and commit to ending anti-trans violence. Everyone should be able to live freely as who they are. #TDOR

I have fought for years to make maternal health a national priority. We must support moms before, during, and after labor and close the equity gap for Black moms. Every baby deserves a strong start, and every family deserves a healthy future.

Today, the U.S. earned a D+ grade for preterm birth for the fourth year in a row. As a preemie mom, I’m leading the charge in Congress with @robinkelly.house.gov and Rep. Kiggans to designate November as #PrematurityAwarenessMonth and address challenges faced by families of premature infants.
Graphic. Background is photo of NICU unit. Text reads, “MCCLELLAN, KIGGANS, KELLY INTRODUCE RESOLUTION TO RECOGNIZE NOVEMBER AS PREMATURITY AWARENESS MONTH: RAISING AWARENESS TO ADDRESS THE INFANT AND MATERNAL HEALTH CRISIS.” Logo of Rep. McClellan is present.

SNAP already has strict rules. But Trump's Big Ugly Law adds new barriers that will kick 42 million people off the program—all to hand out a $4.5 trillion tax break to billionaires. That means more empty cupboards and hungry kids. I will always prioritize hardworking families over billionaires.
