I know that this was a difficult week for the people of Chicago, especially for parents of young children. I want to remind you that, as a member of the Homeland Security Committee, I am determined to use every tool at my disposal to put a stop to an agency that is terrorizing our families.

For more than four decades, Congressman García has dedicated his life to building power for Latinos, immigrants, and working families. His public service made it possible for generations of Latinos to run for office and serve our communities, including me.

Abolish ICE.

🔥Congrats Zohran! This victory is a model for the kind of grassroots leadership and working-class coalition building needed to beat Donald Trump’s authoritarianism and billionaire-class oligarchy. It proves that a politics rooted in solidarity and that puts people first can win.

From Chicago to New York, wishing Team Mamdani a great election day. The people of New York deserve a mayor that will fight for working families and hold the billionaire class accountable. Let's go Zohran! The people are with you! @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social

The truth is simple: trans people didn’t ship our jobs overseas. Immigrants didn’t cut millions of Americans’ healthcare. The real problem is obscene wealth concentration and corporate greed. We cannot get tricked by their scapegoating.

As we file for re-election at such a dark time for our communities, I am more clear than ever on why you sent me to fight for you in DC. We will continue to challenge the status quo, keep fighting to advance a working people's agenda, and stand up to confront authoritarianism.

While masked agents continue to kidnap our neighbors, my colleagues and I are not standing down. We are motivated by all the rapid response teams that courageously protect our communities every day.

Watch Live Now: Congresspeople from across the country are in Chicago to conduct oversight over ICE and DHS' unconstitutional campaign of terror on our communities.

Congratulations to my friend and one of the most courageous labor leaders in Chicago, Stacy Davis Gates, on her election as IFTAFT President.

Last week we gathered for our inaugural Mujeres al Poder luncheon where we lifted up two women, Carmen Velasquez and Maricela Garcia, whose leadership and legacy inspires us to persevere, even as our communities are under attack.

🚨 Community Alert from the Chicago Rapid Response Network🚨 Immigration attorneys have received a troubling notice about a possible ICE operation called “Freaky Friday.”

Jimmy Kimmel isn't returning to the airwaves because of "thoughtful conversations" with Disney executives. He's back because consumers sent Disney a clear message: selling out our fundamental rights is not an acceptable cost of doing business.

ICE continues their violation of our civil liberties by targeting community members for exercising their constitutionally protected freedom of speech and right to protest. We will will not back down and we will protect our communities.

If you are wondering what you can do to stop the atrocities in Gaza, I have a bill for that. This Block the Bombs Act would withhold weapons to Israel and demand they comply with US and international human rights laws. Is your member of Congress a sponsor?

I’d like to wish Senator Bernie Sanders a Happy Birthday🥳. His commitment and clarity in fighting for a working people's agenda continues to resonate with millions across our country. Thank you Bernie for inspiring and energizing generations of working people to fight for the future we deserve.

Grateful for partners like Ted Mason for Cook County Commissioner, Mayor Andrew Goczkowski and the Main Township Democrats who were out with us today talking with neighbors (and their pups) about their concerns and collecting signatures to get great democratic candidates on the ballot.

Thank you to everyone that came to the 33rd Ward Working Families canvass launch. It's an honor to knock on doors with dedicated neighbors and progressive allies who are on the front lines protecting our communities from Trump's hateful agenda.

Trump swore an oath to protect the American people and defend our constitution. Instead he is declaring war on Americans, while invoking symbols of the Confederacy. It's treason and he should be impeached.

Happy Labor Day! My commitment to fighting for workers and their unions remains unwavering.

We don’t need the president’s troops on our streets. Read my op-ed: www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

Donald Trump is trying to ensure we stop protesting. He's trying to shove us into submission. Let me be clear, the Illinois Legislative Latino Caucus will do anything in our power to hold the line.

Our movement is not backing down. Together with Bernie Sanders, we are taking on the oligarchs and fighting for a progressive agenda that is built with, by, and for working people. Photo credit: @raysrivera.pro

A wonderful canvassing event with Committeeperson Michael Rabbitt, State Rep Lindsey LaPointe, Commissioner Jessica Vasquez, and Dems45. I am grateful to be supported by dedicated and passionate neighbors who take the time to engage with their community in order to protect and sustain our democracy.

🚨Location Update: Join us at the UIC Forum. RSVP at bit.ly/rsvpchicago

I am excited to receive the endorsement of Committeeperson Michael Rabbitt and Dems45, neighbors who are organizing their communities and fighting to protect our democracy. I’ll be joining them this Saturday to collect petition signatures in the 45th Ward. Join us! @dems45th.bsky.social

Let's not mince words about what we're seeing with our own eyes. These are the unfiltered ramblings and actions of someone who wants to be king and who doesn't intend to be accountable to voters.

Trump and his oligarch friends have a clear agenda: tax cuts for the wealthy funded by working people. They enrich themselves while an authoritarian President destroys our democracy. Join me in sending a clear message: we are fighting back and we are not backing down. 🔗RSVP at bit.ly/rsvpchicago

It's a pleasure to be part of a team of fierce fighters who unapologetically show up for our communities. I'm proud to support Norma Hernandez and Maria Sinkule and uplift our shared commitment to working families. Join us as we collect petition signatures to get back on the ballot this Sunday!

A huge Thank You goes out to the 38th Ward Democratic Organization for their endorsement and continued support. Excited to knock doors and talk with our neighbors at this Sunday's Petition Kick-Off. Will you join us?

I am excited to once again receive the endorsement of United Neighbors of the 35th Ward, a mighty force for progressive power building on the northwest side. I can't wait to join them this Saturday at their BBQ Block party to kick off petition season. Come by and join us!

Yet again, another Trump executive order has been struck down in federal court because it’s unconstitutional. Last week, federal judges invoked the 10th Amendment when dismissing Trump’s hateful lawsuit against sanctuary cities.

Over the last decade, Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans have attempted to paint an image of our immigrant communities that dehumanizes us, vilifies us, and erases our culture and heritage. This picture is a direct affront to MAGA's vile and hateful narrative.

It's past time for Congress to follow the lead of the American people who want an end to the devastation in Gaza. I introduced the Block the Bombs Act because Congress has a responsibility to use our legislative and oversight authority to end Netanyahu's genocidal war. Is your member a cosponsor?

This past weekend marked 35 years of the Americans with Disabilities Act, a landmark piece of legislation that created pathways for millions to live with dignity and respect.

Netanyahu is using hunger as a weapon of war. After a two year military campaign that has collectively punished the people of Gaza and denied them humanitarian aid, we are now all bearing witness to the natural conclusion of these war crimes: mass starvation and death.

Cages that imprison over 50 people a piece. Concrete walls that ensure those people never see the light of day. That is what our taxpayer dollars are going towards. Not community services or healthcare, but a mega prison.

Thank you to the Addison Township Young Dems for your commitment to turn your passion into action. It was great to share and reflect with you on why we do the work we do in Congress. The next generation of Democrats is looking bright.

If only the GOP fought as hard to protect working families as they are fighting to cover for Trump and their donors…

I was honored to stand before United Neighbors of the 35th Ward to discuss our work in Congress, and to answer the questions of the people who sent me there. I am rooted in community and ready to continue building the strength and power of our movement together.

I appreciate being invited to meet with the 39th Ward Neighbors United. I am grateful for the people who sent me to Congress, and welcome the opportunity to report back to the communities I am rooted in and accountable to.

Secretary Kristi Noem has taken every opportunity to demonize our neighbors, abuse DHS’s power, and lie to our community. Not only do we demand a FULL investigation into her DHS’ unlawful operation, we DEMAND Noem's immediate resignation.

While the Trump administration criminalizes dissent, normalizes cruelty, and rejects compassion all over the country, our movement is building power inside and outside of Congress to fight for the people. Relentlessly, unapologetically, and boldly building a future that is brighter for all.

Trump administration is consolidating power. Behind secrecy and lack of accountability, they have bulldozed over our Constitution, laws, and check and balances. They are playing by the book of an authoritarian. It is our job to fight back.

It is always an honor to be amongst supporters and friends from CAIR Action PAC. Thank you for your partnership in standing up for a political movement that centers peace, human rights, and honoring our shared humanity!
