Situations like this are one of the reasons I've called for Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to resign. The actions happening under her watch are outrageous.
I stand with Wilmer.

The actions of this Administration make it clear they're not focused on finding people who are a danger to society, they only care about the highest number of deportations possible. That's led to numerous instances of unacceptable treatment of citizens, particularly people of color.
On Monday, Winooski School District Superintendent Wilmer Chavarria was detained and interrogated for more than five hours by U.S. Customs and Border Protection after returning from Nicaragua.
Superintendent Chavarria is a U.S. citizen.
President Trump is denying 460,000 Americans from using income-based repayment plans for their student loans.
These are folks trying to pay their loans, they're just trying to to keep their head above water.
And he won't even let them do that.
At least 73 Palestinians were killed yesterday seeking humanitarian aid. Hundreds have been killed in recent months trying to get food, water, and medicine.
The U.S. shouldn't give offensive weapons to a government that has consistently disregarded civilian lives.
In March, the Trump Administration slashed funding that helped farmers give excess food to local food banks.
And now on top of that, the so-called “Big Beautiful Bill” shrinks SNAP benefits for 22.3 million families.
It's cruel to let food spoil while hunger rises.
I'm thrilled that Vermont will receive $22.7 million in federal funds to help replace the almost 100-year-old Winooski River Bridge.
I was proud to vote for the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and excited that it’s making Vermont stronger and more weather resilient.
The devastating impacts of President Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill are already happening.
Curtis Medical Center in rural Nebraska announced it will close because of cuts to Medicaid.
Nebraskans will have to find an alternative for their health care.
Late last night, the Senate did something we haven’t done for decades.
Republicans voted to revoke funding both parties agreed to spend just a few months ago.
To be clear: they only did this because President Trump demanded it.
They're ceding the power of Congress to Trump.
I’m introducing two bills to create safer alternatives to burn pits, improve the VA’s response to toxic exposure, and make it easier to update the health information of deceased veterans.
They'll help protect and support our servicemembers.
Because of DOGE, the Trump Administration is going to spend $130,000 to burn $800,000 of food that USAID intended for starving children overseas but couldn't deliver due to the massive cuts to staff and services.
DOGE isn't eliminating waste; they're literally creating it.
Senator Grassley violated the rules and refused to allow Senators to speak against Emil Bove's lifetime judicial appointment.
So I and every Democrat on the Judiciary Committee walked out of the hearing.
As a Fox News host, Jeanine Pirro promoted conspiracies surrounding the 2020 election, even after the network confirmed her statements had been debunked.
If she can do that on-air, imagine what she can in our judicial system.
I will vote against her nomination for U.S. Attorney.
My 2:30am reaction to Senate Republicans voting to revoke billions of dollars from public broadcasting and global health programs.
www.youtube.com/shorts/Ko2Zy...
I just voted against final passage of President Trump’s bill to revoke public broadcasting and global health funding.
On one hand, the U.S. could continue to support global health programs that save lives and reduce the spread of disease to America.
But on the other hand, President Trump would rather give tax cuts to billionaires, so the Senate is about to vote to gut these lifesaving programs.
So President Trump thinks supporting shows like Sesame Street and Mr. Rogers is a bad use of funding but giving massive tax breaks to billionaires is a good idea?
Got it.
