ICE may have reduced its presence in Illinois, but the harm done to our Black and Brown communities remains. People deserve answers. When will ICE comply with the judge’s ruling and release those who should already be home with their families?
Republicans took six weeks off, fully paid by taxpayers, while Americans struggled. Now that Republicans are back in DC, it's time to get to work. Lower everyday costs, save affordable healthcare, and release the Epstein files.
ICE is detaining pregnant immigrants in abhorrent conditions, denying critical prenatal care. I’m demanding that ICE follow its own policies & release pregnant, postpartum, and nursing women. I’m holding ICE accountable for their cruel actions with the @DemWomenCaucus.bsky.social buff.ly/lA7GWGh
One of my constituents, who’s lived in the US since he was 4 years old, was kidnapped by ICE and is now missing. He was at a gas station in South Holland when ICE agents detained him, disconnecting his phone call to his fiance. ICE needs to be held accountable for their Gestapo tactics.
President Trump promised to lower costs on day one, but his Big Ugly Law gave a $4.5 trillion tax break to billionaires. Families in our district will face an average $400 increase in their yearly energy bills. President Trump wants working families to lose while billionaires win.
Republicans created a healthcare crisis, shut down the government, then returned from a 54-day vacation to do nothing about the expiring ACA tax credits. Families cannot trust Republicans with their healthcare. Without ACA tax credits, 15,000 of my constituents face skyrocketing healthcare costs.
A federal judge has ordered ICE to release Diana, a beloved daycare teacher in Chicago. The law is on the side of the people. ICE’s detentions and arrests are illegal. A bond hearing will now be held for Diana. This is the first step in righting this terrible wrong.
Diana Patricia Santillana Galeano was arrested from a North Center preschool in the early morning hours of Nov. 5, prompting widespread backlash.
Even with the government reopening, the healthcare crisis Republicans created has not gone away. Yet again, families are left holding the bag while Republicans avoid taking action. It is clear they cannot govern. I will keep fighting for affordable healthcare.
@HouseDemocrats.bsky.social are standing shoulder to shoulder to protect your healthcare. Republicans’ partisan funding bill jacks up healthcare costs for millions. I was a hell no—and I’ll keep fighting until every family has access to affordable healthcare.
First, President Trump slashed SNAP by nearly $200 billion. Now, Trump is holding what’s left hostage—blocking $5B to feed hungry families. America can afford to feed its people. What we can’t afford is Trump’s cruelty.
Under Director Bovino and Secretary Noem’s reckless leadership, Border Patrol agents shouted “Little Village!” while posing at the Bean—mocking the same community they tear-gassed days earlier. Their photo op tactics are disgusting.
Time and time again, Republicans have shown they serve Donald Trump instead of the American people. I joined the @HouseDemocrats in a discharge petition to force Speaker Johnson to hold a vote to extend the ACA tax credits by 3 years. The American people deserve to have their voices heard.
This is DISTURBING. During an ICE raid in Chicago, an agent pointed a gun at unarmed neighbors. Threatening people with guns is not how you build trust or ensure safety. We need to hold ICE and Secretary Noem accountable for clear abuses of power. Photo cred: Armando Sanchez
Earlier this week, I joined the Harvard Club Chicago for a fireside chat. We talked about the Republican healthcare crisis, the shutdown, ICE’s harmful tactics in Chicago, and more. I appreciated the chance to share how I’m fighting for our families in DC.
The “clean CR” proves Republicans’ focus isn’t on you—it’s on billionaires and January 6th insurrectionists. Families deserve leaders who will fight to lower healthcare costs, not politicians who want to line their own pockets. If it was clean, why do we have another vote?
Judge Cummings’ ruling is clear: Trump’s mass ICE raids in Illinois broke the law. 615 people will be released—but thousands more are still living in fear. I stand with those demanding justice, accountability, and humanity in our immigration system.
I am a HELL no on the Republican partisan funding bill. Republicans gutted our healthcare, handed billionaires a $4.5 trillion tax break, and did nothing to lower costs. @HouseDemocrats.bsky.social are in this fight until every family has access to affordable healthcare.
The GOP’s “funding deal” abandons working families and allows Senators to receive payouts for sympathizing with Jan. 6 insurrectionists. Republicans only fight for themselves. @HouseDemocrats.bsky.social are fighting for you to make life more affordable and lower healthcare costs.
These new emails make one thing clear: survivors & the American people deserve answers. Release the Epstein Files and deliver the accountability that’s long overdue. Justice delayed is justice denied.
🚨BREAKING: Oversight Dems have received new emails from Jeffrey Epstein’s estate that raise serious questions about Donald Trump and his knowledge of Epstein’s horrific crimes. Read them for yourself. It’s time to end this cover-up and RELEASE THE FILES.
