This is blatant racism from the president of the United States. It is disgusting, it is dangerous, and it must be taken down. Republicans must join us in denouncing this behavior instead of excusing it.

DHS is a failed rogue agency that for years has been terrorizing and abusing our neighbors. It’s long time we rein it in. I was proud to join colleagues and advocates in support of the Melt ICE Act.

ICE has terrorized my community and communities nationwide—deploying tear gas, beating neighbors, and instilling fear. Enough is enough! It’s time to end DHS funding and hold everyone accountable. Anything less is a betrayal to our communities, the Constitution, and democracy.

I joined Democrats outside of ICE HQ to demand an end to the violence DHS has unleashed on our streets. I will not vote to fund any of the terror and destruction we are seeing across the country. DHS is out of control, & this rogue agency must be reined in & Noem must be removed – or impeached!

Today I’m outside ICE headquarters with fellow Democrats demanding an end to this state sponsored violence and for Kristi Noem to be fired!

Trump’s illegal deployment of the National Guard cost Illinois $21M and nearly $496M nationwide—money that could have gone to schools or health care. Instead, it was burned on a political stunt.

This month, we recognize and celebrate the numerous and extraordinary achievements of Black Americans to our country’s life and culture. This year also marks the 100th anniversary of federal recognition of Black History Month in the United States.

Don Lemon’s arrest is a direct attack on our First Amendment rights and another authoritarian abuse in Donald Trump’s America. He must be freed.

I’m enraged by yet another killing in Minneapolis. This is state violence, carried out by Trump’s masked goons. DHS should not receive another dollar — no more funding for terror. ICE and CBP out of Minnesota now!

The federal government publicly smeared Juan Espinoza Martinez’s name, spreading false and dangerous lies. The jury didn’t buy it and acquitted him quickly. Juan should never have been put through this ordeal. DHS must stop these reckless lies and be held accountable.

Yesterday, I asked former Special Counsel Jack Smith about Trump’s blanket pardons of insurrectionists. Whether it’s Jan. 6 or DHS terror, the GOP will back you if you back their political mafia and racketeering operation. Accountability, not impunity.

Today marks the 53rd anniversary of Roe v. Wade and four years since the right to choose was overturned. I’m proud that Illinois remains a safe haven for reproductive rights. I met with Planned Parenthood to discuss how we can work together to protect and expand reproductive freedom for everyone.

I will vote NO on DHS funding because I will not sanction this taxpayer-funded violence against my constituents or anyone else.

Heads up, IL-04: Due to inclement weather, the Melrose Park office will be closed Friday, Jan. 23rd. Our Southwest office will remain open. Out of an abundance of caution, we encourage you to call ahead and stay safe in the weather.

A five-year old preschool child has been detained by ICE, along with other children. This is the level of cruelty and abuse of this administration. I will vote NO on more funds for an agency that is kidnapping children and killing people on the streets.

Rent is already too damn high, and corporate landlords are using software like RealPage to push it even higher. That’s why I’ve teamed up to introduce legislation banning landlords from using price-setting algorithms that drive up costs for families.

On Martin Luther King Jr. Day, we honor the life and legacy of Dr. King. During these challenging times in our country, his words echo truer than ever. We must continue the fight for a more free and just country.

With ICE’s $75 billion slush fund, we could invest in health care, housing, child care, and education—real investments that would ease the cost of living for millions. Taxpayer dollars should never fund terror, trauma, or violence in our communities.

What we’re seeing in Minnesota is a community protecting itself from an authoritarian takeover. Armed, masked agents are terrorizing neighborhoods while the federal government denies any accountability.

Today I’m in Minneapolis with more than two dozen colleagues to hear from those impacted on the ground. Our neighbors in Minnesota are under attack and we must keep demanding accountability. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bfVj...

I’ve signed on. Under Kristi Noem, our communities have been terrorized. She must be held accountable.

Renee Good was a mother. She was killed in broad daylight. And now officials are telling a story that doesn’t add up to what the video shows.

Lives are being lost, stories erased, and lies from authorities go unchecked. Congress must reclaim its power over DHS and stop this state-sanctioned violence.

The Congressional Progressive Caucus is clear: we will vote NO on any funding for ICE or CBP without massive reforms. Our taxpayer dollars should not fund terror and violence in our communities.

Paraprofessionals and support staff keep our schools running—yet most are struggling to make ends meet. I introduced the Pay Paraprofessionals and Education Support Staff Act to ensure these crucial workers are given the fair pay and respect they’ve earned.

Right now, families in my district are seeing their monthly premiums skyrocket because of Republican inaction. Today, the House will vote to restore and extend ACA tax credits to lower health care costs and keep insurance affordable. We need Republicans to join us and vote yes.

The killings of Renee Good & Silverio Villegas González are not isolated tragedies—they are part of a pattern. They lie, they hide from oversight, & they kill innocent people in our streets. Kristi Noem & this administration must be held fully accountable for the violence carried out by DHS.

Heartbroken and outraged by this murder. A horrific loss of life and a product of the violent and trademark lawlessness ingrained in ICE. This administration and its federal thugs, the perpetrators of these heinous crimes, will be held accountable for their actions.

Five years ago, Donald Trump incited a violent mob to storm the Capitol and overturn the 2020 election. This wasn’t a random act; it was part of a broader MAGA playbook rooted in chaos and lawlessness that continues today. He must be held accountable.

With flu season in full swing and cases rising all across the country, this dangerous choice by RFK is putting our kids at a higher risk for infection.

My statement on U.S. unauthorized attack on Venezuela:

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. 🏳️‍⚧️
