ICE and CBP must not receive another cent while people are being killed, beaten, and kidnapped in the streets. www.huffpost.com/entry/adam-s...

Secretary Noem dodged sworn testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee for a full year. Now she expects us to rubber stamp her budget? No.

A small community newspaper from a rural area with traditionally conservative leanings lets them have it.

Victor Acurio Suárez came to the U.S. fleeing gang violence in Ecuador, where he was beaten and left for dead. He came here seeking the American Dream, hopeful for a life free from violence.

On International Holocaust Remembrance Day, we mourn the six million Jews and millions of others targeted, abducted and murdered by the Nazi regime. Together, let us honor their memory by rooting out hate and antisemitism wherever we may see it. Never again.

Thanks, Senator Berghmans. Clean energy isn’t just good for our state’s economy, it’s good for New Mexicans’ wallets.

Finally, after more than 800 days, the last hostage has come home. My heart goes out to the family of Ran Gvili, who died trying to stop Hamas' brutal attack. May his memory be a blessing.

“Ordering the head of a agency to appear is an extraordinary step,” wrote Chief Judge Schiltz, a former clerk for Justice Scalia. “But the extent of ICE’s violation of court orders is likewise extraordinary, and lesser measures have been tried and failed.” www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

We cannot allow this administration to lie to us about what we can see with our own eyes on camera.

It’s only been a year of Trump, and already under his regime, two Americans have been killed by federal agents in broad daylight, millions of Americans can no longer afford health care, and the cost of energy, groceries, and housing is straining families. America deserves better.

If Senate Republicans refuse to strip out the DHS bill to put real constraints on ICE — and hold hostage the vast majority of government funding — then Republicans are complicit in the chaos and own the potential government shutdown. It’s time to stop ICE’s violence.

Trump's ICE just killed 2 Americans in 2 weeks. Americans are demanding action. How did Senate Republicans respond? By threatening a partial govt shutdown if we don't give ICE another blank check. They'd rather hold govt hostage than ensure accountability for these killings.

Minnesota has been the center of America’s heartbreak—but we are also the center of America’s courage and hope. Ordinary people have done extraordinary things: they have stood up, marched, brought food to their neighbors, and they have not blinked. I am so proud of our state.

Too many have died. Trump can fire or demote whoever he wants, but the buck stops with him. There must be accountability for everyone involved. www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Renee Macklin Good should be alive today. Alex Pretti should be alive today. Under Secretary Noem, ICE agents are armed, masked, and given license to do whatever they want. I will vote against any government funding package that includes more funding for ICE.

The Senate should pass all 5 bills to fund cancer research, child care, and more THIS WEEK. Senate Democrats are ready to do just that. Meanwhile, we need to keep negotiating DHS funding to bring sanity and due process to our immigration enforcement. No Republican shutdown.

Noem needs to go, too.

I'm voting no on DHS funding. Masked agents are operating in our streets and hurting people with zero accountability. It’s un-American. If you’re upset and want to help, call your senators and representatives and tell them this chaos needs to stop.

This is the President's playbook. The truth doesn't matter. Facts don't matter. Anyone who disagrees with him becomes an enemy, and he then weaponizes the federal government against them.

In the name of decency & democracy, Republicans should join in demanding ICE reform & restraint. Their silence or implicit support for ICE’s vicious wrongs makes them complicit in criminality. Americans & history will judge them harshly & justly—soon.

Here it is. For the third time. I'm calling on DHS and DOJ's IGs to heed the public outcry and finally launch a joint task force to investigate the horrific pattern of brutality from Trump's agents, including the public execution of Alex Pretti. We demand accountability. Now.

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.

🚨ICYMI: Trump is expanding his deadly Global Gag Rule—threatening any humanitarian aid organization that gets federal dollars from even TALKING about abortion or diversity. Trump is doing everything he can to block foreign assistance & rip away health care.

Secretary Noem refused to appear before the Senate Judiciary Committee last year and now tells us that she will be available in five weeks—should she still be DHS Secretary at that time.

A couple in West Virginia was faced with spending nearly triple their monthly mortgage on health care premiums because Trump let costs skyrocket. We had a plan to lower health care costs and congressional Republicans blocked it. Now, Americans are paying the cost.

Greg Bovino and his CBP thugs may be leaving Minneapolis but this doesn’t end here. ICE continues to terrorize our communities. From Maine to Minneapolis. It’s still no funding for DHS. ICE out of ALL our cities. Hold these officers to account.

Donald Trump and Kristi Noem think you will believe them over your own eyes. No. Alex Pretti wasn't a terrorist. He was a VA nurse. When agents pushed a woman to the ground, he tried to help her up. His last words were “Are you okay?” Enough. Kristi Noem should resign.

Last week, I met with leadership at Augusta Medical Center in Fisherville to learn about how they’re providing care for the community. I’ll keep working to protect Virginians’ health care, including by pushing to reverse the Republican cuts to Medicaid.

This regime ripped away health care from millions, refused to fund SNAP when families were hungry & is now fighting to fund an organization that has left 2 Americans dead. Their priorities are clear. They care more about attacking immigrants than they do about your well-being.

There's a clear path forward: 1. Quickly pass the other 5 spending bills before the Friday night deadline & keep government open. 2. Separate out the DHS bill & work on common sense steps to rein in ICE and CBP. Senate Democrats are ready to get it done. Republicans must join us.

I can’t think of something more un-American than a federal law enforcement agency that can: Enter homes without a judicial warrant. Patrol our streets in unmarked vehicles. Demand papers at random. ICE has become a threat to our American freedoms.

When the government is lying to you, watch out. “The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting,” Alex Pretti’s parents, Susan and Michael, said in a statement.

Six cowardly ICE agents held down Alex Pretti and killed him. They killed one of our fellow Americans. This is Donald Trump’s America. The violence and intimidation ICE has brought to our communities must end now. And let me be clear: not a penny more for ICE.

Vermonters in Plainfield are still waiting for the federal resources they need to recover from the severe flooding in 2023 and 2024. I hosted a town hall to hear more about the challenges Vermonters face and share how I’m working to make the recovery process more efficient.

Trump promised to lower costs on day one – instead, he made it worse. The one thing President Trump delivered for New Mexico families in 2025 was higher prices, and it’s hitting families hard. We need to lower costs for New Mexicans NOW. Working families can’t afford to wait.
