What happened at the Chicago child care center was appalling. No parent should fear that dropping off their child could turn into an ICE raid. I’m calling for full accountability from DHS and every contractor involved. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

SNAP’s contingency fund has enough to ensure every one of the 42 million Americans who rely on it gets a full payment. The Trump administration’s choice to send partial benefits anyway is political and needlessly cruel.

I am heartbroken to learn of the tragic loss suffered by Darren and Cindy Bailey and their family. My deepest condolences and prayers are with them as they mourn the passing of their son, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren. www.fox32chicago.com/news/darren-...

It’s unacceptable—and dangerous—that in 2025 we’re hearing elected officials call for the mass removal of Indian Americans. This rhetoric echoes the cruelty of Donald Trump’s mass ICE raids and fuels a climate of fear that harms families across our nation. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

Despite what some, including at DHS, are claiming, this video isn’t from a year ago in Chicago. It was Friday in Hoffman Estates, in my district, a street I’ve walked myself. It appears to show a child being violently detained by ICE. It’s real, and I’m demanding accountability.

I demanded access to the Broadview ICE facility to conduct oversight — as is my right as a Member of Congress. I was denied. No accountability. No transparency. THIS is the Trump Administration.

Deeply saddened by the passing of Sister Jean. Her faith, wisdom, and spirit were a bridge across generations, inspiring not just Loyola students and athletes, but all of us who believe in service, hope, and community. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/10/s...

Donald Trump and Kristi Noem won’t let the American people see what is going on beyond this barricade at the Broadview ICE facility — even as ICE terrorizes our Illinois communities. It’s absurd and it’s un-American. We demand transparency and accountability NOW.

Donald Trump’s threats to jail Governor Pritzker and Mayor Johnson are what autocrats do — not American presidents. In America, we uphold the rule of law. We don’t imprison our political opponents — we defend democracy. And I’ll keep fighting to make sure we always do.

President Trump didn’t just shut down the government to score political points—he’s trying to shut down the truth. As investigations close in on Epstein’s network, his allies are now blocking Congress from being sworn in. They’re terrified of transparency.

Secretary Noem is abusing her power, spreading baseless conspiracy theories to justify militarizing our streets. She must answer for it under oath. That’s why I introduced legislation to stop any president from federalizing the National Guard without a governor’s consent.

Unprecedented and un-American. Donald Trump is deploying Texas National Guard troops to Illinois over our Governor’s objections—an abuse of power that violates the rights of all Americans. We will not yield to tyranny. www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/c...

A militarized operation against Americans is happening in Chicago right now. Armored vehicles and masked agents targeting peaceful protesters have no place in a free society. Illinois is not a war zone and I will keep fighting to protect our communities. www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news...

I’m heartbroken by the horrific attack at a church in Grand Blanc Township, Michigan. My prayers are with the victims, their families, and the entire community. No one should fear for their life in a place of worship—we must confront this epidemic of violence. www.npr.org/2025/09/28/n...

President Trump is refusing to negotiate to keep the government open and extend health care tax credits. If he won't come to the table, 30,000 in my district face skyrocketing premiums & 27,000 will lose coverage—a 60-year-old couple could pay $13,000 more. I'm fighting for a deal to save coverage.

After the president demanded prosecutions of his political opponents, the indictment of former FBI Director James Comey raises grave questions about whether the Justice Department is being used for vengeance instead of justice. abcnews.go.com/amp/US/forme...

Awful news out of Dallas this morning. My team and I are monitoring reports of the shooting at the Dallas ICE facility. We are praying for the victims and their families. Grateful to first responders for their swift action. We need clear answers about what happened. www.cnn.com/us/live-news...

Americans have a right to peacefully protest and speak out about government policy. At Broadview today, ICE answered with tear gas & pepper spray. I will not stop fighting for accountability. www.chicagotribune.com/2025/09/19/t...

President Trump’s dismissal of violence faced by women is outrageous and insulting. But given his past friendship with Jeffrey Epstein, this attitude comes as no surprise.

Dawn Hunt is a daughter of Chicago and a victim of a gross miscarriage of justice. She and other Americans should not languish in Chinese prisons and be unjustly detained by the CCP. I’ve been fighting to bring them home—and America will never abandon its own. www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

The ICE raids in Elgin and Des Plaines are shameful and reckless. U.S. citizens were cuffed, detained, and tased. Families, small businesses, and our economy are paying the price for Trump’s political gimmicks.

The Trump administration is using the levers of government to silence speech it doesn’t like. Pushing Jimmy Kimmel off the air under FCC pressure is censorship, plain and simple—and it’s a dangerous assault on the First Amendment. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/17/b...

In Elgin today, a U.S. citizen was cuffed and dragged from his own home during the Trump Admin's reckless “Operation Midway Blitz.” These mass raids are terrorizing communities as just the latest example of a blatant disregard for civil rights and due process. www.chicagotribune.com/2025/09/16/e...

I was deeply saddened to learn of the passing of former Illinois Governor Jim Edgar. His legacy of service, bipartisanship & community will not be forgotten. Priya and I send our deepest condolences to his family.

President Trump slashed renewable energy programs—leaving Illinois families with higher bills this summer. I’ll keep fighting for clean energy that lowers costs and strengthens our economy.

The lives lost on September 11, 2001, in New York City, Washington, D.C., and Stoystown, PA, will never be forgotten. And we will always be grateful for the courage shown by the first responders who risked and sacrificed their own lives to save others.

I’m horrified by the news that Charlie Kirk has been shot. My prayers are with him, his family, and all affected. Political violence is unacceptable in every form. If violence replaces dialogue, none of us are safe.

Survivors of Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse deserve full transparency. We still don’t have most of the financial records, including over $1B in wire transfers, that could reveal the truth. The Justice Dept. must release the Epstein files now, and I won't stop fighting to get them.

This is disturbing, disgusting, and extremely troubling. Trump didn’t just leave a salacious note in Epstein’s Birthday Book - he added a lewd drawing, then lied about it for years. If he lied about this, what else is he hiding? The full Epstein files must be released now.

Americans are paying the price for Trump’s failed tariff war. Now GOP cuts to Medicaid and SNAP will hit families even harder. It’s time to fight for an economy and policies that work for everyone.

President Trump’s military threats against Chicago are reckless and un-American. Chicago won’t be bullied.

Trump’s illegal attempt to deploy the National Guard to our cities was dangerous and wrong. I’m relieved the courts stopped him. But remember: these stunts are meant to distract from his mounting failures and the Epstein files.

Happy Labor Day! Today we honor the workers who built our nation and keep it moving forward. I’ll keep fighting for stronger protections, fair pay, and the dignity every American worker deserves.

President Trump’s reported plan to stage mass immigration raids from Naval Station Great Lakes is reckless and unacceptable. He may be willing to trample on the Constitution, but the people of Chicago never will — and neither will I. My full statement: krishnamoorthi.house.gov/media/press-...

Always grateful to meet with my friend Luis Gutiérrez — a trailblazer in Congress whose leadership and tireless fight for working families, immigrants, and justice have left an enduring legacy. His example continues to inspire me to carry forward the values he championed.

RFK Jr.’s purge of CDC scientists and restrictions on Covid vaccines aren’t just reckless—they’re potentially deadly. By gutting science and blocking vaccines, he’s endangering Americans to advance his anti-science crusade. www.cnn.com/2025/08/28/p...

Two young lives were stolen and 17 others injured today in Minneapolis in yet another horrific school shooting. My heart breaks for the families, students, and teachers of Annunciation Catholic School. We must come together to prevent the next tragedy. abcnews.go.com/US/shooting-...

President Trump is manufacturing a crisis in Chicago to distract from his failure to tackle rising prices and his attempts to bury the Epstein files. Sending troops into our city—as he did in D.C. & L.A.—is illegal and unconstitutional. We’ll fight it in court.

Trump’s attempt to militarize Chicago is illegal & reckless. I’ve introduced legislation to block any president from deploying troops without a governor’s request. I stand with Gov. Pritzker & Mayor Johnson in rejecting this abuse of power. My full statement: krishnamoorthi.house.gov/media/press-...

President Trump turning D.C. into a backdrop for military photo ops is dangerous and wrong. Our nation’s capital doesn’t need gold-plated SUVs or staged patrols — it needs leaders who respect democracy and the people who live here.

Mail-in voting is safe, secure, and allows more Americans to participate in our democratic process.

90 years ago today, Social Security became law, transforming life for seniors and giving Americans the chance to retire with dignity and security. That promise is as vital today as it was then, and I’ll never stop fighting to protect it for every American.

When automatic license plate reader technology is used to undermine local public safety laws, it erodes trust and violates policies meant to protect our communities. This investigation is about ensuring Americans are not tracked or targeted just for driving on our roads.

Trump’s plan is clear: manufacture crises to put the military in our streets. His proposed "quick reaction force," starting in D.C., is a dangerous move toward militarizing our cities and eroding our democracy. We must stop it before it takes hold.

President Trump’s threat to send the National Guard into Chicago is a reckless abuse of power, meant to distract from his economic failures, the affordability crisis, and attempts to bury the Epstein files. Our military defends our freedoms; it is not a political prop.

Donald Trump’s federal takeover of D.C.’s police and deployment of the National Guard is an illegitimate power grab meant to distract from his mismanagement of the economy and the affordability crisis — and his attempts to bury the Epstein files. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Jim Lovell embodied courage and grace, guiding Apollo 13 safely home from the edge of tragedy. The work of his crew and NASA’s team on the ground bound the world in wonder and proved that human resilience and ingenuity can light even the darkest hours. May he rest in peace.

Just because Senator Cornyn is worried about losing his seat doesn’t give him or Donald Trump the right to weaponize the FBI against elected officials. This is how Constitutional crises begin—and I’m digging in on legislation to stop it. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/07/u...

A bomb threat in St. Charles—in my district—targeted Texas lawmakers for defending free and fair elections. I’m grateful no one was harmed and thankful to law enforcement and Gov. Pritzker for their swift response. In this country, we settle differences with votes—not violence.
