TPS recipients are our friends and neighbors, and they contribute billions to our economy. But Republicans ignore the facts and push a racist agenda, scapegoating immigrants because they have no real plans to address the issues working people are facing.

The American people don’t want their leaders to let Big Tech screw them over. But right now, these companies are profiting by selling our data while undermining labor, privacy, and consumer rights—and paying politicians like Trump and his allies to look the other way.

I am deeply concerned by reports that TSA is sharing traveler names with ICE. We’ve already seen the consequences—like the deportation of a 19-year-old college student on her way home for Thanksgiving. I raised these concerns with the FAA Administrator in @transportdems.bsky.social

There was a reason the tech CEOs were grinning at Trump’s inauguration. They had him in their pocket. They knew he would sell out American workers and consumers. And they were right.

My statement about a new wave of federal agents arriving to Chicago.

Tonight marks the first night of Hanukkah. In the wake of yesterday’s antisemitic attack, may these next eight nights bring strength and comfort. Hatred of any kind has no place in our world.

Health care tax credits that help families afford coverage are about to expire, and without action premiums will skyrocket. With only days left, Democrats are united in demanding a vote to stop these cost hikes.

Trump’s immigration overreach is not about public safety. His masked thugs are using Gestapo-style tactics to meet arbitrary detention quotas, and they must be stopped.

As Trump attempts to impose a new Monroe Doctrine on the Americas, it’s more important than ever that we stand together to call out and resist these violations.

70 years ago today in Alabama, the Montgomery Bus Boycott began — a key moment in the modern Civil Rights Movement. We salute the courage of these activists — and commit to furthering their work for equality and justice.

The pardon of ex-president Juan Orlando Hernandez shows corruption, authoritarianism, and violence coming full circle. It’s a slap in the face to the many victims of drug overdoses and to the people of Honduras.

The Trump administration is abusing its power to trample the Constitution and our civil rights. This administration’s outrageous overreach on immigration is tearing families apart in my district and around the country. We will hold this administration accountable!

"They are using gestapo tactics and it's not about public safety. More than 4,000 people have been arrested by federal agents in Chicago but only about 3% have any type of criminal record. They are not going after criminals, they are clearly using racial profiling." - Rep. @chuygarcia.house.gov

“CPC Whip @chuygarcia.house.gov on Donald Trump’s slurs against Deputy Chair @repilhan.bsky.social: ‘His repeated bigoted attacks on Rep. Omar are nothing more than a way to divert attention from the massive failures of his presidency so far.’”

Donald Trump and Republicans promised to lower costs. They lied. Families in Illinois have paid $766 so far this year because of Trump’s reckless policies.

Nursing is a professional degree. Removing or downgrading that status is disrespectful and wrong, especially to the countless nurses who served on the front lines throughout the COVID pandemic. share.google/o7vCTE4RRTgX...

This is an important victory! Undocumented immigrants contribute $60 billion dollars in federal taxes every year despite being ineligible for most federal benefits. Trump’s attempt to weaponize the IRS against them violates all taxpayers’ privacy.

My statement on the dismissal of charges against Marimar Martinez.

Today we honor the memory of transgender people whose lives have been lost in acts of anti-transgender violence. I will always speak out against hate and fight for a world where everyone can live as their true selves. 🏳️‍⚧️

ICE kidnapped a teacher inside a daycare, in front of little children and parents. This is not making us safer. This brutality needs to stop!

The Trump administration acted illegally when it refused to continue SNAP benefits in November. I applaud this ruling — it must be followed!

Thank you to the Illinois General Assembly for their hard work passing key bills that will improve life for the people of Illinois. Keep reading to learn about a few! 👇

Willian Giménez González is free! His detention was a blatant abuse of power, but we never gave up fighting for him. Today we celebrate his release. Willian is finally back where he belongs, with his community.

Incredible news — Ruben Torres Maldonado is coming home! The community came together and worked tirelessly to bring this father back to his family so he can be where he belongs and support his daughter in her fight against cancer.

Democrats are ready to reopen the government, protect health care, and ensure families keep the food assistance they depend on. It’s time for Republicans to come back to D.C., start working for everyday people, and stop terrorizing our communities and passing out tax cuts to the ultra-wealthy.

Five weeks into the shutdown, working families are about to face higher health costs and cuts to food assistance. Democrats are in D.C., ready to work—Trump and House Republicans need to come to the table and put the people over billionaires.

ICE is terrorizing my community: individuals are being taken from the streets, chemical agents deployed near schools, and raids conducted in sacred sites. This pattern of lawless behavior must stop. Those responsible will be held accountable, and our community will not forget.

The Trump admin has launched an assault on Chicagoland and all immigrants. They claim it’s for public safety, but they’re the ones endangering our communities. I joined a shadow hearing in Chicago to expose these injustices, amplify the voices of those affected, and demand accountability.

Chicago, Cook County, and the state of Illinois will stand firm against Trump’s attacks on our communities. Whether he likes it or not, immigrants are vital to this country—and we’re not going anywhere.

This morning I’m joining members of House Judiciary and the Hispanic Caucus for a shadow hearing on Trump’s assault on Chicago. Our community is under attack by masked thugs—we’re shining a light, hearing from those impacted, and demanding accountability. Watch here:

Chicago and Illinois will never be silent—we’re here and morally defiant because we're on the right side of history. ICE has no place in our streets!

My statement on the raids conducted today in Little Village and Cicero:

I stand with Rep. Mclver. Members of Congress have the right to conduct oversight of DHS facilities funded by taxpayer dollars. The baseless charges against her are a clear abuse of power by Trump to intimidate Members of Congress. We will not allow his intimidation to stand.

Our voices rang out loud and clear this weekend. We showed that America has no kings — the power belongs to the people. We stand together, strong and unshaken, against any attack on our communities. We refuse to be intimidated. And we refuse to be divided.

ICE has kidnapped a 13 year old boy from his mother while both await decisions on their asylum cases. He calls her in tears and neither of them can get answers. This is beyond cruel and a violation of his rights! ICE must release him now!

Arizona’s 7th District still has no voice in Congress because Mike Johnson is delaying Adelita Grijalva’s swearing-in — seemingly to stall the release of the Epstein Files. I stood with Adelita and the Hispanic Caucus to demand she be sworn in now!

My statement on Supreme Court oral arguments in voting rights case:

No matter how much Trump tries to intimidate us, we cannot lose faith in the courts, the law, and the Constitution. They still matter—and they will ultimately prevail.    Swipe to see some recent court wins!

While Republicans are on week 3 of vacation, Democrats are in DC, ready and willing to negotiate to reopen our government and address the health care crisis created by Trump. Republicans don’t care about families losing their coverage.

ICE unleashed chemical warfare on our neighbors in Chicago yesterday. The East Side looked like a battlefield in our own city. Our city is shaken but not broken. Bullies always fear the power of a united people.

My statement on the Gaza Ceasefire Deal:

It’s shameful that Trump and Vought are using the shutdown to fire federal workers and silence those who keep our country running. Republicans must come back to the table—reopen the government, protect health care, and respect our federal workers.

On Indigenous Peoples’ Day, we recognize the resilience of Indigenous Peoples and the injustices they’ve experienced throughout history. I stand with our Native communities today and always in their continued fight for justice.

Federal agents stormed a Chicago apartment building in the middle of the night—dragged people from bed, zip-tied children and detained U.S. citizens—all for a stunt on Twitter. This is terror, not enforcement. We are demanding answers.

Trump intentó fabricar una crisis para enviar a la Guardia Nacional a Chicago. Una juez federal dijo que no hay pruebas de una crisis. En Chicago estamos del lado correcto de la ley y de la historia.

Trump tried to manufacture a crisis to send the National Guard to Chicago. The judge said there is no evidence of one. We are on the right side of the law and of history.

Trump is waging war against our community—and Illinois is stepping up. We’re leading the fight to hold him accountable and stop tyranny in our country. We’ll see him in court.

Workers have a constitutional right to organize for fair wages and safe conditions. QSL America must end its unfair labor practices and return to the bargaining table in good faith.  Read our full letter below.
