Today, we remember the more than 1,200 lives taken in the October 7 terrorist attacks. We remember the families torn apart, the hostages who endured unimaginable suffering, and all those whose lives were forever changed. We must never forget the October 7 terrorist attack.

Los Angeles is home to 12.8 million people. San Diego is home to another 3.3 million. The President is talking about the destruction of two of California’s largest metropolitan areas as a “small price to pay.” That is not leadership. It is reckless and dangerous.

I secured $25M in federal funding to move the SR-71 Gap Closure Project in Pomona forward. This investment will mean safer roads, shorter commutes, and better movement of people and goods. CA-35 families deserve infrastructure that keeps up with our growing communities.

Taxpayers shouldn’t have to foot the bill twice for a broken, for-profit detention system. Congress must keep conducting oversight, expose the conditions, and hold ICE and GEO accountable. It’s time to end for-profit detention not expand it.

Department of Homeland Security buys two more detention centers in California for $950 million

The GEO Group, a Florida-based private prison corporation, announced Monday that it had sold the detention facilities, including the Adelanto ICE Processing Center, totaling 2,644 Beds.

Rep. Norma Torres@torres.house.govOct 5(source)

Taxpayers are being forced to spend $950 million to buy three aging detention facilities and then keep paying GEO Group to run them through 2034. We’re paying hundreds of millions for the facilities and billions more to operate them, while ICE moves to limit oversight of unsafe conditions.

🎉 Here’s to our September birthday MVPs! We had a winning afternoon at the Montclair Senior Center celebrating everyone with a September birthday. Good food, great company, and plenty of reasons to celebrate our September all-stars. Happy birthday to the whole lineup! 🎂

I started my career as a dispatcher, and I know the skill, pressure, and responsibility that comes with being the voice on the other end. 911 dispatchers are first responders. I’m working to make sure our laws recognize them as such. Thank you, Elex Michaelson, for shining a light.

Rep. Norma Torres@torres.house.govSep 28(source)

They attacked our Capitol. Now they want American taxpayers to pay them for it. I’ve fought to ensure taxpayer dollars protect our democracy, not rewrite what happened on Jan 6. Don’t ask Americans to pay for the fiction that attacking the Capitol was protected political expression.

THERE IT IS: Group of January 6 riot defendants have filed each filed federal civil lawsuits in DC seeking taxpayer-funded compensatory and punitive damages for alleged violations of their righrs They claim they were "targeted..and punished" for "protected expressive" activity

Trump is using your tax dollars to fund propaganda. Calling an ad about a “final battle” a public service announcement doesn’t make it one. This Administration is trying to silence dissent. Americans deserve information from their government, not political messaging paid for with their own money.

White House airs another government-funded ad, this time with Trump warning of ‘final battle’ | CNN Politics

The Trump administration is set to launch another overtly political campaign ad funded by taxpayer dollars, attacking the “fake news media” and “the sick political class that hates our country.”

Rep. Norma Torres@torres.house.govMay 14(source)

This National Police Week, I was honored to welcome the San Bernardino County Police Department and Ontario Police Department. Their work keeps our communities safe every day. I’m grateful for their service, sacrifice, and continued commitment to protecting our communities.

The American justice system is not for sale. Reports that DOJ may drop fraud charges against a billionaire with powerful political ties raise serious concerns about who justice serves. We cannot allow fairness to be traded to the highest bidder.

Breaking News: The Justice Dept. is planning to drop charges against India’s richest man, Gautam Adani, after a lawyer for the billionaire made an unusual investment offer.

Proud to join the bipartisan U.S.-Mexico Caucus to strengthen cooperation between the United States and Mexico. From trade and security to economic opportunity, this partnership impacts millions every day. At a time of growing tensions, we must build bridges, not barriers.

Rep. Norma Torres@torres.house.govMay 14(source)

During National Police Week, we honor the officers who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our communities. We remember Timothy Corlew, Hector Cuevas Jr., and Andrew Nunez and all 363 officers killed in the line of duty this year. Their service and sacrifice will never be forgotten.

TORRES: When is the White House going to submit a disaster package for California? If you're not able to answer that question--- TURNER: Part of the problem is with CA leadership TORRES: There shouldn't be any mention of any supplemental, like the illegal Iran war, without giving CA what it needs

Rep. Norma Torres@torres.house.govMay 13(source)

CA pays the bills, funds the agencies, and subsidizes the country. But when it’s our turn, when 7:10 fire survivors still can’t go home, suddenly the checkbook is closed? We sent $275B more than we got back last year. CA is tired of funding this government only to be abandoned.

It was great to see NASA astronaut Victor Glover at the Capitol today. Always proud to see someone from Pomona reach the highest levels and represent our communities in such an incredible way. His journey with the #Artemis program continues to inspire so many young people back home.

Rep. Norma Torres@torres.house.govMay 12(source)

Trump promised to lower costs on Day One. Instead, his reckless handling of the war with Iran is driving up gas prices, fueling inflation, and making life more expensive. While billionaires cash in on his tax giveaways, Americans are paying more at the pump and at the grocery store.

The war in Iran is driving a sharp increase in inflation, as surging gasoline prices ripple through the American economy. The increase marks the steepest year-over-year rise since September 2023.

It was a privilege to recognize local Vietnam Veteran Richard Beasom for his service and sacrifice with a commemorative lapel pin honoring the 50th anniversary of the Vietnam War. If you know a Vietnam Veteran who should receive this recognition, please contact my District Office at (909) 481-6474
