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.

Border Patrol agents needlessly escalated the situation. The videos taken of the shooting make it hard to argue that Alex Pretti “violently resisted” when we can see for ourselves that he was tackled to the ground, held there and shot. We need an independent investigation now.

The Washington Post published a clear video of federal agents removing Alex Pretti's handgun moments before he was fatally shot. There's nothing in the video to suggest Pretti even reached for his weapon. wapo.st/49Zqv1L

Today brings another horrific death in Minneapolis, this time at the hands of Border Patrol. Alex Pretti’s death must be investigated, and those responsible must be held accountable. The Trump Administration must end the crisis that its aggressive DHS, ICE and Border Patrol agents have created.

This week, Virginia welcomed a new Governor, Lieutenant Governor and Attorney General, the nation celebrated the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and the House passed the final appropriations bills needed to fund the government. Keep watching for what you may have missed.

Like many across the Jim Crow South, my father paid a poll tax to register to vote. He kept this receipt in his Bible as a reminder of the price he had to pay to exercise the sacred right to vote. The 24th Amendment, ratified 62 years ago today, ended the use of poll taxes in federal elections.

Every day, I hear from constituents about ICE escalating tactics in our neighborhoods. The message is clear: we don’t want ICE terrorizing our communities and trampling our constitutional rights. The people of Virginia did not ask for this.
Rep. Jennifer McClellan@mcclellan.house.govJan 23(source)
The Trump Administration wants to convert a Hanover warehouse into an ICE detention facility. After a pattern of violence and forcibly holding people in deplorable conditions with little to no due process, this Administration cannot be trusted to continue its detention and deportation operations.

❄️Attention VA-04! ❄️ Starting Saturday night, heavy snowfall is expected to hit Virginia, potentially over 12 inches in some parts. Here are some important tips to make sure you’re ready for the winter weather.
Graphic. Background is blue with snowflakes. Text reads, “WINTER STORM TIPS. During a winter storm, stay off the roads as much as possible and only drive when absolutely necessary. Make sure your home is properly insulated. Check the weather stripping around your windows and doors. Learn how to shut off water valves in case a pipe bursts. Have additional heat sources on hand in case of a power outage. Keep dry! Change out of wet clothing frequently to prevent a loss of body heat. To help with visibility, clean off your car entirely — including your trunk, roof, windows, and headlights. If you must travel, know the road conditions before you leave home. Visit 511Virginia.org or call 511 for road condition updates.” Logo of Rep. McClellan is present.

I stand alongside all those who have continued to sound the alarm on ICE’s lawlessness and will continue to advocate for measures that will restrict and end this Administration’s heightened campaign of terror.
Rep. Jennifer McClellan@mcclellan.house.govJan 22(source)
The bare minimum requires that we protect our communities from operations that make people afraid to leave their houses and erode trust in our law enforcement. ICE agents cannot be allowed to ignore the Constitution and do as they please, dragging people into the streets and even killing them.
Rep. Jennifer McClellan@mcclellan.house.govJan 22(source)
The DHS funding bill does allocate additional funding for bodycams, limit the Department’s transfer authority and provide robust support for FEMA. While these provisions are encouraging, they fall short of addressing the impunity afforded to ICE — and the moral rot it has allowed to fester.
Rep. Jennifer McClellan@mcclellan.house.govJan 22(source)
In Virginia’s Fourth, I hear from communities in Chesterfield, Henrico, Petersburg, Richmond and beyond about ICE escalating its tactics to the detriment of public safety and civil liberties. None of this has served to make us safer, and this disturbing pattern of behavior demands drastic action.
Rep. Jennifer McClellan@mcclellan.house.govJan 22(source)
This past year has seen horrific breaches of fundamental constitutional rights at the hands of ICE. Overly aggressive agents have entered homes without a warrant; detained people without due process, some in horrendous conditions; terrorized immigrant communities and shed American blood.
Rep. Jennifer McClellan@mcclellan.house.govJan 22(source)
Today’s bill to fund the Department of Homeland Security does not go nearly far enough to rein in an out-of-control ICE and hold it accountable for the chaos and fear it has unleashed. I voted no. 🧵
Rep. Jennifer McClellan@mcclellan.house.govJan 22(source)
Roe protected abortion rights for 50 years. Dobbs ended it. As Chair of the Abortion Rights and Access Task Force, I joined @ReproCaucus Co-Chair @RepDegette on this anniversary of Roe to hold a roundtable with @PlannedParenthood CEO @alexismcgill to discuss the work that remains to be done.
