No mother should be ripped away from her family. No child should spend today wondering when their mom is coming home.
This Mother’s Day, I’m holding those families close and recommitting to the fight for a system rooted in dignity, due process, and humanity.

My heart is full knowing Olivia is home today with her mother and siblings, where she always belonged.
But we cannot ignore the countless mothers who are still not home with their children because of the Trump Administration’s cruel, unjust, and often illegal detention and deportation agenda.
Happy Mother’s Day to all the Maine moms out there! 💐🩷
Today is a day to celebrate the mothers, grandmothers, mother figures, and caregivers who hold our families and communities together.
We fought like hell to make this happen.
And we will continue to fight until every child, every family, every person is released and the Dilley Trailer Prison is shutdown for good.
Late last night, Olivia Andre returned home to Maine.
After 6 long months locked away in Dilley in violation of federal law, she is finally reunited with her family, friends, and a community that welcomes her with open arms.
Just got off the phone with Olivia, who’s out of Dilley and on her way home to Maine!
We shouldn’t have to fight THIS hard to protect people’s constitutional rights—or to get people out of these horrific detention centers.
But we WILL keep fighting.
Safe travels, Olivia! We’ll see you soon.
Democrats in VA and CA let the people decide.
Republicans in TN, LA and other states are redrawing maps in back rooms, breaking up Black districts, and even canceling elections where people had already voted.
It's outrageous. It's undemocratic.
Democrats will use every tool we have to fight back.
The Virginia Supreme Court just rejected the will of more than 3 million voters.
Meanwhile, Republicans are using the Supreme Court’s attack on the Voting Rights Act as a green light to ram through new gerrymandered maps across the South.
There could not be a clearer contrast.
With high grocery prices and food insecurity on the rise in communities across the country, this unnecessary bureaucratic reshuffling will make it harder for families to put food on the table.
I'm signing on to a letter to Secretary Rollins urging her to halt this so-called "reorganization."
The USDA relocating the Food, Nutrition, and Consumer Services department from D.C. to more “rural areas” might not seem like a big deal.
Its is.
This is about dismantling food assistance programs that *millions* rely on, including SNAP + WIC—by intentionally creating administrative chaos.
Olivia and her family fled an awful situation in the DRC. They’ve done everything right—working, studying, trying to live their lives free of fear.
Like so many others, they got caught up in a broken immigration system.
I'm thrilled she'll be coming home to Maine and reunited with her loved ones.
It’s so rare to get to share some good news. But I'm overwhelmed with joy to share that Olivia Andre WILL BE released from Dilley!
A judge just signed the order today. ICE must release Olivia without delay so she can be reunited with her family and begin to heal where she belongs: at home in Maine.
Earlier this week, Trump said that rising gas prices were a “small price to pay.”
For what? His historically unpopular war? Record profits for oil companies and defense contractors?
Mainers cannot afford more of this Administration’s disastrous and chaotic diplomacy.
Because of Trump’s illegal war, average gas prices in Maine are about to top $4.50.
Even if prices stay at that level (a big if), Mainers would pay an extra ~$1 BILLION annually for gas—or ~$1,500 per household.
At time when the costs of everything are up, this will hit working families hardest.
Thanks to @joaquincastrotx.bsky.social for bringing us down to Dilley to meet with our constituents held there.
We saw the conditions. We heard the lies. We listened to stories of fear, uncertainty, + heartbreak.
Those stories will stay with us. We will keep fighting to bring our neighbors home.
@joaquincastrotx.bsky.social, @sylviagarcia.house.gov, @menefee.house.gov, @repmarktakano.bsky.social, Rep. Cuellar, Rep. Grijalva and I are holding a press conference on what we saw during our oversight visit to the Dilley ICE facility in Texas—and our efforts to bring families home.
Tune in now 👇
I met with some protestors outside the Dilley ICE facility, where families and children are being held for months on end.
As this proud vet said, this is NOT ok.
It's NOT what we stand for as Americans.
It's NOT how our taxpayer dollars should be spent.
Shut. It. Down.
And release the families!
Here's part of what Olivia wrote in her letter to me:
"I am very scared about the future and about what could happen to my family... But even with all this, I still hold on to one thing: home. And for me, home is Maine."
My colleagues and I will do everything in our power to bring Olivia home.
Just got out of our tour of Dilley.
As always, they tried very hard to cover up the horrible conditions. But you could see how awful it is.
I *did* get to meet with Olivia, a 19-year-old from Maine.
All she wants is to come home, be with her family, and eat ice cream while she watches the sunset.
Trump is like a toddler throwing a temper tantrum. Republicans are the parents who'll give him anything he wants just to shut him up.
It’s no way to run a country—and deeply damaging to our democracy. (3/3)
