Is the President sharing these disgusting racist images to distract people from his ICE agents killing people in the street? I don't even think he deserves that credit. Every single Republican should denounce this immediately.

Masked ICE agents terrorize the public and destroy public trust. We need a top-to-bottom restructuring to stop this insanity.

JD Vance didn’t wait for any facts before smearing Alex Pretti. And even now, he can’t find the decency to apologize.

These “death cards” are despicable. We need a full, independent investigation now!

We heard from victims of ICE’s brutality today. Their stories make it clear that this lawless police force needs a top-to-bottom overhaul.

ICE agents leaving behind “death cards” in the cars of people who they’ve detained is cruel for the sake of being cruel. We need an immediate investigation and a total overhaul of this agency.

Trump continues to prioritize his vanity projects while his untrained officers terrorize our cities and people struggle to afford groceries and housing.

Donald Trump said the quiet part out loud. Americans should be able to afford to buy a home.

This is not the attitude of just Bovino. This is the attitude of the entire Trump administration. Trump’s immigration agenda is resulting in children detained and Americans killed. Enough is enough. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/29/u...

February is Black History Month! Colorado honors the tremendous contributions Black Americans have made to our state and this country. We must fight efforts to erase this history from our shared memory.

One thing is clear as Trump continues to use the federal government as a tool to attack his political adversaries: the Federal Reserve must remain independent. www.cnn.com/business/liv...

Americans pay taxes for things like infrastructure and social security. They don’t pay them so they can line Trump’s pockets.

Trump can’t illegally force people off SNAP, no matter how hard he tries. Making it harder for families to get their next meal is cruel. coloradosun.com/2026/01/28/p...

Arresting journalists is straight out of the authoritarian playbook. Another attack on the truth and First Amendment rights by the Trump administration. We all need to stand for a free press.

Just voted NO on the DHS funding bill. It does nothing to overhaul ICE. We need masks off, bodycams on, accountability, and respect for our constitutional rights.

ICE is out of control. Unmask agents. Protect sensitive locations. Require body cams. Cut excessive funding. Don’t arrest children. Stop killing people.

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...

ICE is killing American citizens. We need to fight for the safety of our communities. We can’t let this continue. Read more about our fight in our newsletter: senatorhickenlooper.substack.com/p/i-refuse-t...

ICE is operating with zero transparency or accountability. It’s unacceptable. Congress should immediately pass our bills to unmask ICE, protect sensitive locations like schools or churches, and cut the excessive slush fund that MAGA Republicans gave ICE.

This is any family's worst nightmare. We need to keep Alex and Renee’s memories alive.

Each of the 6 million men, women, and children killed in the Holocaust had a story. On International Holocaust Remembrance Day, we remember and honor their stories and lives. We must always work to combat antisemitism and hate in all its forms.

Secretary Noem has been a disaster at DHS. Under her “leadership,” ICE is killing people, separating families, and terrorizing our communities. Secretary Noem should resign. But no matter who’s in charge, ICE’s abuses are deeper. There needs to be immediate, fundamental changes.

ICE is out of control. The proposal to open another ICE detention center in Colorado, this one in Hudson, takes a bad situation and makes it worse. www.cbsnews.com/colorado/new...

ICE is using violence to stoke fear in our communities. It’s horrifying and unconscionable. We need answers and accountability immediately.

Federal officers just shot another person in Minneapolis. This is horrific. We are still learning more about what happened, but one thing is clear, the President needs to get ICE and Border Patrol units out of our communities. NOW.
- JH
Does this look like ICE is going after violent criminals? It’s unconscionable for ICE to traumatize children.

Joined farmers in Fort Morgan to discuss how Trump’s tariffs and reckless trade wars affect their ability to make a living and continue feeding our communities. Farmers are the ultimate risk takers and entrepreneurs. They should be provided more certainty, not doubt for the future.

I’m a NO on the DHS funding bill that allows ICE to keep terrorizing our communities. ICE’s conduct this past year is beyond comprehension. Now, Trump is asking Congress for more funding. No way.

Toured Byers High School’s Career and Technical Education program, which helps equip our next generation with the skills they need to succeed. Expanding workforce programs like these are a no-brainer. Let’s get to work!

Trump’s reckless threats (and confusion) towards Greenland weakens NATO and does nothing to lower costs for working families who are suffering under his economy.

It’s treasures like these that Trump and his BLM nominee Steve Pearce, a fierce advocate for selling off our public lands, want to take away from us. I’m a NO on Steve Pearce. Colorado’s public lands are NEVER for sale.

Trump’s reckless tariffs are crushing small businesses when we should be doing all we can to lift them up. We met with small business leaders in Denver to discuss the impacts rising costs are having on their businesses and hear more about how we can help.

NCAR is a crown jewel of research, not only in the U.S., but around the world. Every single American relies on NCAR’s data. www.forbes.com/sites/marsha...

After weeks of holding up the funding package to push back against Trump’s attacks on Colorado, we held the Senate floor yesterday to demand a vote on our amendment to fully fund NCAR. Republicans blocked it. But our fight against the administration’s attacks on science isn’t over.

We were on the Senate floor today to stand up against Trump’s attacks on Colorado and to disrupt the Senate spending package that does nothing to protect NCAR. Watch my speech in full here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=xBtD...
