Illinois Democrats are fighting back. @chuygarcia.house.gov & @ramirez.house.gov on the Judiciary and Homeland Security Committees are demanding answers from Sec. Noem and ICE. We were there Sunday to hear from South Shore families, and they want us to hold ICE accountable.
Under Secretary Noem’s reckless leadership, ICE has turned Chicago neighborhoods into war zones. Flashbangs, helicopters, and fear are not tools of public safety—they’re an abuse of power. Our communities deserve care, not cruelty, and real leadership, not chaos.
President Trump & Republicans shut down the government, and now he's sending the National Guard to Chicago. This is not leadership. President Trump is a WEAK president who uses fear as a weapon to hide his own problems and failures. Federal troops are not an answer to crime.
President Trump and Republicans shut down the government, gutted healthcare, and blocked the Epstein Files from being released. @housedemocrats.bsky.social and I are standing up for the truth and fighting to ensure every American family has affordable healthcare.
Two years after the attack on Israel by Hamas, I continue to mourn the innocent lives lost and pray for the 48 hostages still held. In the years since, over 65,000 Palestinians have died. It’s time to end this war. Both peoples deserve lasting peace.
Today, we marked a step forward for the South Side. My grandson is thrilled about these updated Metra stations, which include accessible entrances, elevators, and better lighting—changes that make a real difference. Everyone deserves safe, modern transit that connects them to opportunity.
Yesterday, I stood with our South Shore and immigrant communities to tell ICE to get the hell out of our city. President Trump is ordering 300 National Guard troops into Chicago to help ICE agents terrorize immigrant families. This is not the America I know. chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...
Republicans chose chaos over solutions. They shut down the government and spread lies about immigrants to distract from the truth. I want what families in my district want—affordable health care for every American and a government that works for the people.
Thank you to @ramirez.house.gov, @chuygarcia.house.gov & @jonathanjackson.house.gov for joining me in standing up for our communities. Together, we’re showing the strength of Black and Brown unity—demanding accountability & rejecting Trump’s fear-driven politics in Chicago.
Protect your privacy! 🛡️ Join my office for my annual Privacy Fair on Oct. 18 at the South Side YMCA.We’ll have free resources to prevent identity theft + document shredding. 📍 6330 S. Stony Island Ave, Chicago ⏰ 9AM–12PM ☎️ Questions: (773) 321-2001 RSVP:
On #WorldTeachersDay, I celebrate every teacher who shows up for our students with care and commitment. You do more than teach—you inspire, guide, and open doors to opportunity. Thank you for shaping brighter futures every day. 🍎✨
It’s day five of the Republican shutdown, and Speaker Johnson is not calling the House back tomorrow. @housedemocrats.bsky.social and I are prepared to reopen the government and lower healthcare costs for families. The question remains—are Republicans?
🚨 Trump is bringing war to Chicago. 🚨 He calls our city violent—yet it’s his ICE raids & National Guard that terrorize families, endanger lives, and waste taxpayer dollars. I refuse to bend the knee to a bully in the White House. Chicago deserves dignity, safety, and respect. ✊🏾
The ICE raids in the South Shore prove that Trump’s immigration agenda is rooted in division & cruelty. In an op-ed with @chuygarcia.house.gov, we made it clear: Black & Brown solidarity is stronger than Trump’s lies. We stand united in dignity, justice, & compassion. buff.ly/NemRLkP
President Trump and Republicans chose to shut down the government and create a healthcare crisis. Democrats and I came prepared to clean it up. I’m fighting to keep the government open and healthcare costs down—because your family comes first, not politics.
The South Shore raid and the shooting of Silverio Villegas González show a disturbing and tragic escalation of ICE’s discriminatory tactics. Black and Brown communities know this story too well. ICE must release the footage and be held accountable for killing Silverio.
Republicans shut down the government and then lied about why. Let’s be clear: undocumented immigrants don’t get ACA tax credits or Medicaid—and Democrats haven’t proposed changing that. I don’t want a shutdown. I want affordable health care for all Americans.
