The US cannot be dragged into another endless war in the Middle East.   I mourn the innocent lives already lost & the US must use every diplomatic tool available to stop the fighting.   Congress must assert its constitutional authority and prohibit an unauthorized war with Iran.
Brad Lander was violently arrested for standing up for immigrant rights and asking ICE to see a warrant. This is yet another authoritarian attack on anyone who dares to hold the Trump administration accountable. He must be released immediately.
Here's a longer video of Brad Lander's detention just now inside 26 Federal Plaza as he tried to walk a man out of immigration court, by masked federal agents.
Americans do not want war with Iran, and only Congress has the power to declare one. We must not allow the US to be dragged into another endless conflict. Proud to join this resolution.
No war in Iran. It's time for every member to go on record. Are you with the neocons who led us into Iraq or do you stand with the American people? I am proud to co-lead a bipartisan War Powers Resolution with Rep. Massie that is privileged and must receive a vote.
I’m horrified by the political assassination of Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband, and the attack on Sen. John Hoffman and his wife. This is a tragedy for Minnesota and for our country. There is no place for this in our politics. We all must stand together to reject political violence.
@padilla.senate.gov was manhandled and detained for attending a public DHS press conference. The Trump administration is trying to silence protestors, journalists, and even U.S. Senators. This is authoritarian behavior. We need a full investigation. I stand with Senator Padilla.
Sen. Alex Padilla was just removed from Kristi Noem's press conference in Los Angeles (video: Bill Melugin/Fox News)
ICE agents hiding their faces and badges spreads fear and eliminates accountability for abuse. These secret police tactics don’t belong in our democracy. Today, I introduced the No Masks for ICE Act to bring basic transparency and accountability to immigration enforcement.
ICE is ripping New York families apart, and we must step up to protect our immigrant communities. Today, I led my colleagues in urging NY state leaders to pass the New York For All Act to ensure state and local resources aren't fueling Trump's mass deportation campaign.
Yesterday, I went with @repespaillat.bsky.social to the Jacob Javits Federal Building to investigate reported inhumane, unjust treatment of immigrants. ICE blocked my oversight visit, violating my rights as a Member of Congress. I will keep working to expose abuse & hold ICE accountable.
I introduced the Police Not ICE Act to stop ICE and CBP from masquerading as local police and terrorizing immigrant communities. This is about protecting our neighbors from Trump’s unconstitutional deportation machine and ensuring public safety. Our communities deserve protection.
Trump’s new travel ban has nothing to do with safety & everything to do with shutting people out & isolating the US. Just like in 2017, it’s discriminatory & wrong. Back then, Americans rallied together to stand against it. We must come together again to defend what’s right.
What’s unfolding in Gaza is unconscionable. Millions face starvation, and we can’t look away. I’m proud to support this resolution urging the Trump administration to do everything in its power to get aid to civilians. We have to act now to save lives.
NEW: With @raskin.house.gov, @keating.house.gov, @foushee.house.gov, and @balint.house.gov, I’m leading 92 members in urging the administration to ensure the immediate delivery of humanitarian aid into Gaza. Innocent civilian lives can be saved. jayapal.house.gov/2025/06/04/j...
The Boulder attack is a terrifying reminder of the rise in antisemitism across our country. My thoughts are with the victims of this heinous act. We cannot allow violence to divide us further.
