Yo visité a Cuba la semana pasada, lo que vi era una isla completamente diferente: las calles están vacías, hospitales y casas están sin electricidad. Debemos exigir que se ponga fin al bloqueo. D...

Majority of Democrats cast historic vote in Congress to block U.S. weapons to Israel. @repdeliaramirez @repyassansari @repjayapal @repmcgovern

Too many people have been separated from their loved ones by DHS.   That’s why I introduced the Melt ICE Act—first step legislation to abolish ICE. The bill ends DHS’s authority to detain and monit...

"Over 100 house Democrats voted to block billions of dollars in weapons to Netanyahu." @repcasar @repilhan @repdeliaramirez

Whether it is "rehiring" VA police, deputizing federal employees like USPS inspectors, or enacting 287(g) agreements with local enforcement, the Trump administration's paramilitary force and police...

Today, 104 members of Congress voted against military funding for Israel. That is thanks to the tireless advocates and organizers who are pushing members of Congress to prioritize our communities i...

Thanks to the calls of constituents and the organizing of advocates, 104 members of Congress made history by voting to end military funding for Israel. But our work is far from over! We must kee...

“Let's ask ourselves a question: Why is it that members of Congress are not acting consistent with what their constituents would like?” – Rep. @repdeliaramirez

ICE has shot and killed two more of our neighbors. On July 7, ICE agents shot and killed Lorenzo Salgado Araujo—a beloved father and homebuilder—while he drove his work van with his crew in Housto...

There is no justification for providing $3.3 billion for more bombs. As the lead sponsor of the Block the Bombs Act, I call on my colleagues to vote HELL YES on the Massie Amendment.

In ONE week, encounters with ICE have resulted in THREE deaths. ICE is not rogue. With the unlimited money, unchecked authority and total impunity that Congress has given them, they have terroriz...

The organizing happening on the ground, the protests, and our demands work. Thanks to our communities' organized outrage Trump and Markwayne have been forced to change their tactics. But let's be...

We are clear: ICE is a danger to our community. We must abolish it! My Melt ICE Act would strip DHS of its authority and prohibit them from using funds to detain or monitor immigrants. Every Membe...

This weekend, I visited Cuba to hear first-hand accounts about the humanitarian crisis unfolding on the island. Even under such hardships, I heard from Cubans that desire a new relationship based...

Less than a week since Lorenzo’s murder, ICE fatally shot another man in Maine. The murders at the hands of ICE aren’t one-offs, they’re a pattern.   DHS and ICE can’t be reformed, they were built ...

Congratulations to Sara Mazhary, a STEM teacher serving #IL03, for being recognized by the Golden Apple Foundation. This prestigious award reflects her passion and excellence in serving the student...

We must overturn Citizens United to have the democracy that working families deserve. Let’s build a government that works for working people. It’s past time we get money out of politics.

When I hear Lorenzo’s story, I think of my own family members who came to this country to give their children a better life.   No one should have to experience this injustice.   Congress must pass ...

@secretarymullin, you are just another loyalist -a tool for cruelty- putting lives in danger. Just like your predecessor, you will be fired, resign, or face impeachment. Your days in office are n...

At a packed town hall in Racine, Wisconsin this week hosted by @weact4progress and progressive champions talking about how to build a better future for our country. People are sick and tired of a s...
