Granite Staters are rightfully worried about reports that ICE plans to build a processing center in Merrimack. It's unacceptable that DHS has repeatedly ignored requests for more information. We’re calling on Secretary Noem to provide answers to the town and its residents immediately.

Secretary Noem clearly does not know what she's doing and is not up to the job. She's lied to the American people and it’s time for her to go.

The Flores agreement is the single most effective protection for children in immigration detention. The Trump Administration is ignoring it, detaining families for months, and denying food, water, and medical care. Senate Democrats just told the court it must uphold Flores.

The brutal killing of Alex Pretti was an inflection point for this country. We are saying ENOUGH. Republicans need to work with us on serious reforms. It's what the vast majority of Americans want and what many Republicans are calling for as well. The time is now.

I cannot support more ICE funding while they’re using their already military-sized budget to do lawless attacks on U.S. citizens and folks just trying to get to work. I’m still a no on DHS funding – we need serious, concrete reforms.

Data centers are driving electricity bills up across the country for working families already struggling to make ends meet. My colleagues and I are demanding answers on how New England’s grid operator plans to protect families from the costs of new data centers.

Once again, the Trump Administration snubs Congress and fails to appear for testimony. Total disrespect for the legislative branch.

Americans know our health care system is broken. A recent poll found that 70% of Vermonters support a Medicare for All single-payer system. Congress must understand that health care is a human right — not a privilege. We must pass Medicare for All.

Two Democratic congressmembers have been physically attacked in the last week – and not only are Trump, Vance, and this administration not trying to lower the temperature, they’re fanning the flames. This administration needs to stop inciting violence against people who disagree with them.

Families shouldn't have to fear seeking basic medical care. Children shouldn't be afraid to leave their homes. People shouldn't be shot and killed for filming federal agents. Not one more penny for ICE.

I hear that the price of Trump’s attendance was downplaying fossil fuel pollution dangers, and business “leaders” went spinelessly along.

Don't let the Trump administration lie to you. Alex Pretti was an ICU nurse. He was a son. A brother. A friend. A caretaker.

Clearly, the Vice President has nothing better to do than to denigrate a war veteran and U.S. Senator. Senator Duckworth was demanding answers from Secretary Rubio before this Administration puts more American lives at risk to serve President Trump’s foreign policy whims.

This is a disgusting intimidation tactic to stoke fear. There needs to be a full, independent investigation, accountability for those involved, and action by DHS to ensure this never happens again. www.9news.com/article/news...

Political violence has no place in our country. It’s unacceptable. But Donald Trump has given a permission slip to those who think violence and extremism are acceptable responses to disagreement. Just look at ICE. We need accountability now.

Headlines highlighting our nation's worsening affordability crisis are all too common under President Trump. Instead of lessening the burden on Americans, the administration has slashed health care access and hiked tariffs that are forcing families to stretch every dollar.

ICE isn’t just targeting the Twin Cities. There’s horror stories in Mankato, Willmar and across Minnesota. Immigration attorneys are still getting hundreds of calls every day from every corner of the state. ICE out now.

We need to lower energy bills. Data centers are driving up costs but we must ensure American families aren’t footing the bill for big tech companies. @whitehouse.senate.gov & I teamed up w/ @welch.senate.gov & others to press ISO New England on its plan to keep costs down for consumers.

Violent settlers in the West Bank are burning Palestinian villages & beating residents with impunity. These attacks have been met w/ silence from the Trump Admin & Netanyahu govt. US taxpayers shouldn't be giving the Netanyahu govt an annual $3 billion blank check for weapons. (1/2)

“Key figures in the administration are pointing fingers at one another. Trump is blaming Border Patrol chief Greg Bovino. Bovino’s boss Kristi Noem is blaming Stephen Miller, per Axios. Miller is blaming Border Patrol. And Border Patrol is big mad at ICE, per POLITICO’s Myah Ward and colleagues.”

There are plenty of simple, commonsense things the administration could do if they wanted to de-escalate and show that they take seriously the profound and grave harm that their ICE and CBP agents have caused in Minnesota. To start, they need to get out of Minneapolis.

The Senate is scheduled to take the first procedural vote on a funding package including DHS funding tomorrow. Let me be clear: Until ICE is properly reined in and overhauled, the DHS funding bill won’t have the votes to pass the Senate.

Section 702 of FISA expires in less than three months. It grew out of a secret warrantless surveillance program under President Bush. We need reform before we reauthorize.

President Trump's rapid approval of winter storm disaster aid proves what's possible with political will. While Colorado is still reeling from the Lee and Elk wildfires and historic Southwest flooding, Trump has yet to approve disaster aid for our communities.

Within the past week alone, two House members—Reps. Maxwell Frost and Ilhan Omar—were attacked in public. We can't become desensitized to political violence and the threat it poses to our democracy. We must condemn political violence in any and all forms.

Both Alex Pretti and Renee Good were killed while exercising their constitutional rights. This is CLEARLY a civil rights issue. But beyond that, allowing DHS to investigate itself is a clear conflict of interest. We need an independent investigation— justice must be served.
