Masked agents continue to break into homes. ICE continues to snatch and detain our most vulnerable in deplorable conditions. U.S. citizens and lawfully present individuals have been detained and deported with little due process. Another U.S. citizen, Alex Pretti, has been shot and killed.
Since the House last passed a Department of Homeland Security funding bill, we have only seen greater strife, confusion and fear resulting from the Trump Administration’s overly aggressive immigration enforcement tactics.
Two weeks ago, I voted against funding DHS without significant reforms to address the public safety crisis created by the Trump Administration and its Congressional Republican enablers. Today, I again voted no on extending funding for DHS. Here’s why 🧵
The Department of Homeland Security is out of control. ICE and Border Patrol are abducting, intimidating and killing people with impunity. The American people have had enough. I joined Sunrise on @thehill.com to discuss the need for DHS reforms and more.
On February 2nd, 1959, Lance Newman, Michael Jones, Ronald Deskind and Gloria Thompson entered Stratford Junior High School in Arlington County to become the first students to desegregate a Virginia public school. #BHM2026

66 years ago, 4 NC A&T students were refused service at a Greensboro Woolworth store. Day after day, they fought for their right to simply eat at a restaurant. After 5 months, the store began to serve Black customers. The Greensboro Four remind us that we must keep pushing for justice. #BHM2026

This year marks a century of national Black History commemorations. In 1926, Dr. Carter G. Woodson established Negro History Week to promote information about Black culture to the world.  As a history maker, I remain committed to telling the often untold stories that shaped our nation. #BHM2026

Trump’s DOJ continues its pattern of persecuting his personal enemies list and anyone who fights back with the arrest of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort, who covered protests at Minnesota’s Cities Church. Freedom of the press must be protected, not prosecuted.
DHS and ICE need reform now to stop them from detaining and deporting people with no due process, terrorizing communities and killing people with no accountability.  I joined CNN’s The Story Is to share my concerns over the crisis that this mass detention-deportation campaign has created.
Liam Ramos and his family entered the United States legally, seeking asylum. ICE used him as bait to arrest his father, who has no criminal record. Now, Liam is sick and depressed in a detention facility over 1,300 miles from home. DHS must release Liam and his father now. #BringLiamHome

ICE, Border Patrol and the Department of Homeland Security are out of control. I joined @robinkelly.house.gov’s resolution to bring articles of impeachment against Kristi Noem for all she has done to wreak havoc on our communities and violate civil liberties. Enough is enough.

Six years ago, Virginia became the final state necessary to ratify the ERA. I was proud to carry this historic legislation. While it has not officially been published, the ERA is the law of the land. As Co-Chair of the ERA Caucus, I’ll continue fighting for equality under the law for women.

On this day in 1945, Allied forces liberated Auschwitz. On this #InternationalHolocaustRemembranceDay, we remember the over 6 million people murdered by the Nazis and recommit to fighting hatred in all forms.
