Most people held in ICE detention centers have no criminal record. Detainees are deprived of life and liberty and placed in unsafe and inhumane conditions. DHS's plan to use warehouses to hold humans is unconscionable. These facilities have no place in PA or anywhere else.
Democrats will introduce a bill that would bar DHS opening new immigration detention centers without state and local officials’ consent. “Our new bill responds directly to the concerns we’ve heard from local officials," Sen. Jeanne Shaheen said.
If you are an American citizen currently in Mexico, please follow guidance issued by the U.S. Embassy and local authorities. U.S. citizens who need assistance may contact the U.S. government using the numbers below:
This decision is a win for the American people. The President placed an illegal tax on Americans for months, raising prices across our country. If the President stands by his disastrous tariff policy, it's because he doesn't care about lowering costs for American families.
President Trump says he will impose a 10% global tariff on top of those remaining in place after the Supreme Court ruling striking down emergency tariffs. https://cnn.it/4rss3IS
The collapse of the Crozer health care system and the DC Republicans' refusal to extend the ACA tax credits mean that local health clinics like ChesPenn face a rise in uninsured patients & growing challenges to maintaining comprehensive services, particularly for patients requiring maternity care.
The engaged audience of seniors & high school students raised great issues about the cost of living, the need for Congress to act as a check on the White House, the DHS shutdown, & strategies for civic engagement.
The Trump administration won't stop trying to whitewash history to fit their narrative. The panels at the President's House tell the truth about the horrors of slavery during George Washington's time in Philadelphia. Americans deserve to know our whole shared history, not just pieces of it.
The Trump administration appealed a judge's order to restore slavery exhibits at the President's House in Philadelphia. https://www.cbsnews.com/philadelphia/news/slavery-exhibits-presidents-house-site-philadelphia-orders/ 
It was an honor to celebrate our Class of 2030 nominees to U.S. Service Academies and their families with a recognition ceremony at my district office with members of the PA-05 service academy selection board! Congrats to this year's nominees!
Reverend Jesse Jackson's commitment to civil rights and his leadership in advancing justice and equality for all Americans reshaped our country by moving it toward the formation of a "more perfect union." His presence will be missed, but his work and vision will live on.
Breaking News: The Rev. Jesse Jackson, whose fiery speeches and populist vision made him a charismatic champion of civil rights, died at 84.
It's already the law that only Americans can vote in US elections Real IDs in Pennsylvania do not qualify as proof of citizenship, so that means you would have to pay $165 to get a passport to register to vote. The SAVE America Act will disenfranchise millions of Americans.
If you think that ICE's actions don’t affect American citizens - think again. Hundreds of citizens' detentions and abuses were documented BEFORE the Chicago and Minnesota ICE surges, where we saw even more Americans abused and killed at the hands of federal agents.
When the Supreme Court allowed immigration agents to consider race during sweeps, Justice Brett Kavanaugh said that citizens shouldn’t be concerned because agents will “promptly let the individual go.” For these Americans, that wasn’t true. (Published Oct. 2025)
