Republicans’ health care cuts are leaving thousands of Michiganders uninsured and making it harder for critical organizations like the Washtenaw County Health Project to support those uninsured families. This will only drive up costs even more for everyone.
This Black History Month, we recognize the amazing contributions of Black Americans that have helped shape Michigan and our country for the better. To honor this important legacy, we must never stop working to deliver the full promise of our nation. Liberty and justice for all.
I voted no on the funding bill today because we need serious reforms to require DHS immigration enforcement operations to be conducted safely and responsibly. I urge our Republican colleagues to let us vote to fund the rest of the government and work with us to rein in DHS.
DHS’ current immigration enforcement operations are not protecting our homeland security or making American communities safer. They are causing chaos and fear. They are violating Americans’ constitutional rights. We need stronger guardrails and accountability.
ICE’s Minneapolis operations are not protecting the residents of the city, but are instead causing chaos and fear. Immediately, there needs to be a full and impartial investigation by local police into this incident, as well as the tragic death of Renee Good.
ICE’s secret memo authorizing agents to enter people’s homes and arrest them without a judicial warrant is unlawful. This Administration’s disregard for our Constitution threatens all of us.  Our government is not above the laws it enforces.
BREAKING: Immigration officers are asserting sweeping power to enter homes without a judge’s warrant, a memo obtained by AP says.
I warned in a report that DOGE was putting Americans’ most sensitive data at risk. Now, news reports show that DOGE employees accessed your data and signed an agreement that could let them share it with a political group. They broke the law AND endangered your privacy.
Ranking Member @peters.senate.gov’s recent report on DOGE rang the alarm on the risky usage of Americans’ Social Security data. Now we know—DOGE employees accessed your data and signed an agreement that could let them share it with a political group.
