ICE detainment at Miami Correctional in Bunker Hill, IN must end. Today, I visited the facility and met with 2 ICE detainees. Our criminal justice system is broken—from the disproportionate number of Black Americans in prison to ICE detaining tens of thousands of people without criminal records.

A genocidal threat from a U.S. president is beyond dangerous. Escalating strikes while threatening to wipe out an entire civilization puts innocent Iranian civilians and Americans at risk. These are intentional war crimes. We need to invoke the 25th Amendment now to stop these violations.

I was proud to visit the Damien Center to highlight $850,000 I secured to support housing, healthcare, and HIV prevention services for Indianapolis residents. I will keep fighting to bring resources back home and invest in programs that strengthen our community.

TODAY is the last day to register to vote in time for the Indiana primary election. You can check your registration status at indianavoters.com.

Happy Easter! I wish everyone celebrating a day of joy and renewal.

Today, many reflect on sacrifice, love, and hope. Wishing all who observe a meaningful Good Friday.

Wishing all who are celebrating a meaningful Passover. May this season of reflection remind us of the call to pursue justice and liberation for all people. Chag Pesach Sameach

Today, Martindale Brightwood residents can make their voices heard on the impact of a new data center. This public hearing is a chance for Indianapolis to speak up and speak out—neighbors, activists, labor leaders, and community stakeholders.

I am proud to earn a 100% score from the @lcv.org. At a time when the Trump administration is making major cuts to environmental protections, I will continue fighting for cleaner air and water and investing in clean energy.

Women make less than men for doing the same work — and the gap gets even wider for women of color. I'm working to pass the Paycheck Fairness Act to prevent discrimination, protect women, and make our economy better for everyone.

Democrats have put forth a solution to fully fund TSA — without giving ICE more money to attack our communities.  Republicans refuse to accept it.  We can and should make sure TSA workers are paid while still holding ICE accountable.

I just submitted an amendment to stop ICE from hiding behind masks and face coverings. We need transparency. We need ICE out of our airports and out of our homes. Republicans need to work with Democrats to fund DHS the right way.

Each year, I bring home funding for a variety of projects that make our neighborhoods stronger. Here’s a look at what’s coming.

Eid Mubarak to everyone celebrating Eid Al-Fitr. After a month of fasting and reflection during Ramadan, today is a time to celebrate gratitude and compassion. Wishing a blessed Eid to all who celebrate.

At least 13 US service members have already died in Iran—including Captain Seth Koval, a husband and dad from Indiana. I pressed Trump administration officials to justify this war. When the lives of our brave service members are at risk, the American people deserve answers.

NEW: I'm signing a discharge petition to fast track a vote to fully fund TSA — without giving a blank check to ICE.  Fund essential workers. Don't fund the murder and abuse of innocent families.

Happy St. Patrick's Day, Hoosiers! Today we honor the rich heritage that has shaped Indianapolis and this nation. May this day be filled with fellowship and good luck.

I join Hoosiers across the state in mourning the loss of Capt. Seth R. Koval, an American hero who served our nation with honor. My prayers are with his family, community and all who served beside him. We will never forget his sacrifice and bravery to our country.

President Trump is dragging us into another endless war without congressional approval. I voted against this war because Americans should not have to suffer higher costs or decisions that puts lives at risk.

None of these isms and phobias have a place in our society.

I’m proud to host my annual Youth Opportunities Fair to provide students the opportunity to enter the workforce. Investing in young people allows for stronger communities, a stronger workforce, and a bright future for Indianapolis.

My annual Youth Opportunities Fair with Ivy Tech was a success! We helped close to 200 young people find jobs, internships, and other opportunities ahead of the summer months.

It appears no one was seriously injured at a shooting at a Michigan synagogue, but the fear and trauma caused by violence is real and damaging—not just for those present, but for loved ones and the entire community.

Gas prices have skyrocketed in the last week because of Trump’s war against Iran. It’s already disrupted the global oil supply – and if this war continues, it will impact the cost of nearly all goods.   No more endless foreign wars.

Communities of color and women's voting rights are under attack. The SAVE Act would create new barriers that make it harder for many Americans to vote. I wrote in the Indianapolis Recorder about why we must protect access to the ballot.

The U.S. lost 92,000 jobs lost in February while prices climb and families struggle to keep up with rising costs. President Trump promised lower costs on day one, but job losses are doing nothing to make life more affordable for working people.

The United States should not be dragged into another senseless war without the consent of the American people.   That’s why I’m a cosponsor of the Iran War Powers Resolution and will vote YES today. The American people deserve debate and transparency before sending our troops into harm’s way.

Muslim leaders are present in every aspect of public service—often working behind the scenes to shape policy and improve lives. Every year, I co-host a Congressional Iftar with my sisters @repilhan.bsky.social, @reprashida.govpeeps.us, and @replsimon.bsky.social to honor these public servants.

I’m very concerned that AES’s move toward private ownership will hurt Hoosiers. Private firms having a stake in public utilities – an essential service – will put profits over people. www.ibj.com/articles/con...

I’m so sorry to hear about the loss of Danise Baird. I’m praying for Rep. Baird and the entire family as they navigate this incredibly difficult time.

President Trump continues to put our troops and civilians in danger. I’m a cosponsor of a War Powers Resolution to reign in the president’s reckless and illegal wars. I’m calling on House leadership to immediately bring it to the floor next week.

Last night, Trump touted a new retirement savings plan to help millions of working Americans.  Except it's not a new plan. It's Democrats' plan—and President Biden already signed it into law in 2022.  Beware of Trump taking Democrats' accomplishments and passing them off as his own.

Enough. Survivors deserve accountability. They deserve the full truth— not a redacted version designed to protect the wealthy and powerful. I stand with survivors. Release the Epstein files, in full.

ICE is considering Indianapolis for a new detention facility.  Here's my message to ICE: you're not welcome.

I will not be attending Trump’s State of the Union. The American people already know what the state of our union is. It is marked by frustration, rising costs, and deep exhaustion.

I secured federal funding for Shepherd Community Center, which is working to break the cycle of poverty in Indianapolis. These investments are essential to strengthening our community.

Trump’s tariffs have caused costs to skyrocket – but the Supreme Court just ruled these tariffs are illegal, in what’s being called a “major blow” to Trump.   Trump is already losing 70% of court cases filed against him. Now there’s another to add to the list.

NEW I secured over $13 million for Indianapolis. Each year, I bring home Community Project Funding to invest directly in our city. Learn more at carson.house.gov

Ramadan Mubarak! Tonight, Hoosiers and Muslims around the world begin a month of reflection, renewal, and gratitude. I wish all who observe a blessed and fulfilling Ramadan.

Rep. Fine continues to make completely racist and Islamophobic comments without repercussions. These statements aren't just words. They spur hate and violence against the Muslim community. As Dean of the Muslim Caucus, I'm calling on Rep. Fine to resign. We can’t let this bigotry go unchecked.

Officer Brian Elliott lost his life in the line of duty last night. I'm praying for his family and the entire Beech Grove Police Department, and another officer who was shot and injured.

“I may be poor, but I am Somebody; I may be young; but I am Somebody; I may be on welfare, but I am Somebody.” It's a poem Rev. Jesse Jackson often repeated—the idea that we must recognize the humanity in every person.

Black history will not be erased. I was honored to present the Julia M. Carson Community Award to Ophelia Wellington for her work showcasing and preserving Black Hoosier history with Freetown Village.

Happy Valentine’s Day! Each year, I team up with Indianapolis schools for our Valentines for Vets program to deliver valentines to nursing homes and veteran service organizations. Thanks to all who participated!

Let’s be clear: non-citizens voting is already illegal.   The SAVE Act doesn’t fix a real problem. It creates new barriers by forcing Americans to present a passport or birth certificate in person just to register or update their registration.

Thank you to Tanvi, an 8th grader who sent a letter reminding me how important it is to fight for Indianapolis youth. Tanvi, look out for a response from me soon!

Team Carson was able to step in to get this resident their social security issue resolved quickly. Have a similar issue with a federal program, like Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, or VA benefits? Visit carson.house.gov or give us a call to find out if we can help.

Thank you @carson.house.gov for your continued commitment to justice for American-Palestinian journalist Shireen Abu Akleh. Congress must "honor Shireen’s unwavering commitment to truth and press freedom" through action to prevent future attacks on journalists, @hassaneltayyab.bsky.social said.

Trump posted a video of our former president and first lady depicted as primates. This represents the many people who don’t see Black people as human. Unacceptable! He knows exactly what he is doing.   Dehumanizing images reflect dehumanizing policies.

I got involved in activism starting in junior high. It shaped me into who I am. This week, young people in Indianapolis stood up for their beliefs that ICE is assaulting our community.   To those students: Keep fighting. Keep standing up. It’s your First Amendment right.
