My colleagues and I are pushing to expand bachelor’s degree access at community colleges for essential fields facing major shortages. In our district, that means AB 2136 — giving Cerritos College the ability to offer select bachelor’s degrees that our local economy desperately needs.

As ICE intensifies a campaign of cruelty & violence, CA has launched an immigration resource hub with tools to: • Locate someone in ICE detention • Access nearby help & legal assistance • Prepare for potential immigration emergencies • Avoid immigration-related scams 🔗: cacontigo.asmdc.org

We condemn the violence being imposed on our communities. We condemn the lies of the federal government. This assault by ICE is a dark moment in our history.

Today in Paramount for the second stop in a series of statewide hearings to hear from local communities/experts about how rising expenses are impacting Californians, and what we can do to address this challenge. From UCLA researchers to local small business owners — these voices guide our work.

This weekend at UC San Diego, leaders from 20+ colleges in CA & Mexico imagined a future where education crosses borders. 🌎 I moderated a panel on joint degree programs, which let students graduate from & work in two countries. More doors. More opportunities. A brighter future, built together. ✨ 🎓

Partnering with several of my fellow legislators to urge our federal agencies to require ICE agents to properly identify themselves. Federal agents operating without clear identification is *undermining* public safety in our communities. We're pushing for transparency and due process.

Join us TODAY for a Know Your Rights Webinar! 📅 Wednesday, June 18 🕐 4:30PM 📍 Register: bit.ly/ImmigrationResourcesWebinar An attorney from the Immigrant Legal Resource Center (ILRC) will focus on legal rights & how to protect your community from ICE. 🔒Confidential & safe space for all.

Asking questions on behalf of the communities you represent is not a crime.

This military stunt is about spectacle, not safety. Instead of investing in our communities, the federal gov't is spending $134M to unnecessarily deploy troops to LA. This is wasteful, dangerous & not what CA needs or wants.

The administration is trying to dehumanize immigrants & blame them for all of our country’s ills. People aren’t falling for it! Neighbors & YMCAs are delivering groceries to ppl afraid to go out. Our cities are providing immigrant families w/ resources & support. The list goes on, giving me hope.

Everyone deserves to feel safe at home. My statement on the outrageous Los Angeles ICE raids today. ⬇️

Memorial Day across Assembly District 64! Our communities came together to remember those who served and gave their lives and to support those who carry on.

Finally! After years of advocacy, AB 64 passed a major milestone. We’re one step closer to allowing diacritical marks on vital records, rather than stripping them from names because that may have been easier for computer systems in 1986…

Celebrating a California legend today. Harvey Milk didn't wait for permission to make history— he just did it. Still inspiring us to keep it real in the Capitol and beyond.
