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...

I hope his return will bring comfort to his family, and mark the beginning of a more peaceful Middle East, with the opening of the Rafah Corridor and Hamas laying down its arms.

The return of the remains of Master Sgt. Ran Gvili is an important milestone for the families of the hostages taken on October 7th. 🧵

Simply put, ICE and DHS are out of control. I cannot and will not support further funding of DHS without increased accountability and reform of the agency. Read my statement:

Over and over again, bullying and intimidation. We all see this for what it is. More Mob Boss politics.

About 1.5 million Americans lost their health insurance so far this year because of Trump’s policies. Millions more will lose their coverage if Republicans continue refusing to pass the Dem plan to undo Trump’s premium spikes.

Oversight of immigration detention, especially medical care, urgently needs reform. When human beings are in the government’s custody, we are responsible for them.

Leader Thune must keep DHS $$ separate, like House did, so we can pass all other appropriations. Everyone sees DHS needs work.

The horrific shooting of Alex Pretti has only sharpened the position I announced last Friday—the House-passed bill funding Homeland Security is a non-starter because it lacks sufficient safeguards against abuse and accountability for those who have used their power to brutalize our communities.

Both the Minnesota Chiefs of Police Association and the International Association of Chiefs of Police have joined mayors, business leaders, and community voices in speaking out about the dangerous ICE surge in Minnesota. It’s clear that ICE needs to leave our state. Now.

You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to understand how much Trump’s tariffs are raising costs and making life harder. Look at this number. That’s how much Arizona families’ costs went up in 2025 because of this President.

I am an immigrant. But more than that, I am a human being and an American. No one — regardless of status or where they come from —should have to endure the pain, chaos, and violence ICE has brought into our communities this past year. DHS and ICE's terror stops now. They must be controlled.

From housing to health care, President Trump’s economic policies are making Americans pay more for their necessities. While the $1,781 Trump has cost Illinoisans may seem like pocket change to President Trump and his billionaire buddies, it makes all the difference for Illinois families.

I will vote against proceeding with this week’s bill to fund the Department of Homeland Security because ICE needs to significantly change the way it is conducting itself — and Congress should be doing everything it can to make sure that happens.

We have to keep pushing for a better country than Trump’s out-of-control ICE is inflicting in Minneapolis. I’ve said it once, I’ll say it again – I am NOT voting to fund DHS under these current conditions.

The killing of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis was horrific and has rightly drawn deep concern from both sides of the aisle. My full statement on the shooting and the appropriations process:

We saw with our own eyes a U.S. citizen killed by Trump’s federal agents. Yet this admin continues to spread lies. What must happen now: a full and independent investigation; Kristi Noem and Stephen Miller must resign or be fired; and not another dollar for Noem’s DHS without real accountability.

ICE is using violence to stoke fear in our communities. It’s horrifying and unconscionable. We need answers and accountability immediately.
- JR
I’m a no on the DHS bill. Congress must step up to protect the rights of all Americans, enact needed safeguards, and ensure accountability. ICE is supposed to enforce the law and protect the public, not abuse your rights and trample on the people they serve.

Trump Administration leaders have supported & spread a culture & permission structure for police state tactics—an out of control agency. 4

Make no mistake that this purposeful violence & lawlessness comes from top leaders of DHS & ICE. The secret ICE Director memo I revealed last week encourages blatant Constitutional violations. Official mass quotas for deportation incite misconduct. 3/
- RB
Law & basic decency require simple straightforward reforms—like requirements for body cameras, clear identification, judicial warrants, stopping brutality, mass sweeps, arrests in churches & similar places, breaking into homes. 2/

Proud to join a strong consensus of Democratic colleagues saying NO to the DHS spending bill without strict restraints & reforms on ICE. 1/

Read these stories from people who knew Alex, his Green Bay high school classmates, and people he did choir with. He cared deeply for people and should still be alive. Alex and his family deserve nothing short of justice and accountability. www.jsonline.com/story/news/2...

Alex Pretti, 37, was an ICU nurse who cared for veterans. The Trump Admin. labelled him a ‘domestic terrorist.’ You be the judge.

Such mistreatment would be further evidence of the inhumane conditions at the Baltimore Holding Facility — something I have repeatedly called them out on. We will continue investigating & update when we know more. [2/2]

Like many Marylanders, I am horrified by what this video appears to show. My team has demanded answers about these reported inhumane conditions. The content suggests yet another another instance of ICE's utter depravity. We cannot let another PENNY go to Donald Trump's ICE.

Kristi Noem is a liar. Kristi Noem is incompetent. Kristi Noem is vicious. Kristi Noem must be fired.

Even the WSJ editorial page calls out the lies! “The Trump Administration spin on this simply isn’t believable. Stephen Miller, the political architect of the mass deportation policy, called Pretti a ‘domestic terrorist.’ He was a nurse without a criminal record.”

Scenes from this weekend’s resource fair in Salem, NJ. Shout out to the vendors, Salem City, the 3rd legislative district, and the Salem County Inter Agency Council for helping us get resources around housing, food, utilities, mental health, and more to people who need them.

Reminder: Republicans voted to give ICE a $75 billion slush fund, a budget larger than most militaries. Every Democrat voted NO. We need immigration enforcement that is sane, upholds our rights, treats people with dignity and basic respect, and focuses on violent criminals.

Clearly, the Trump Administration cannot be trusted to investigate their own agents' pattern of brutality that has led to them murdering two Americans. I’m leading the effort to force independent investigations into this lawlessness. Americans deserve the truth. No more lies.

ICE is killing Americans in broad daylight. Breaking up families. Sowing fear and chaos into our communities. The right needs to wake up. This is not America. We cannot give DHS and ICE a blank check for terror and violence.
- AK
Two Minnesotans—Renee Good, a devoted mother of three, and Alex Pretti, an ICU nurse who served our veterans—are gone, killed by federal agents. The Trump Administration is trying to block fair, transparent investigations into their deaths. We need justice and cannot let anyone hide the truth.

There are big wins in this package—including important measures to lower costs for families, fund medical research, give a pay raise to our troops, and deliver crucial investments in Delaware communities. They shouldn’t be held up because of ICE’s horrendous actions.

We can and should strip out the DHS bill and pass the other five appropriations bills under consideration this week.

I’m a no on the DHS appropriations bill. Working hard this week to increase accountability, transparency, and independent oversight of immigration enforcement, while avoiding a shutdown that complicates FEMA funding just as Delawareans and millions of Americans are digging out of a major storm.

Trump’s lawless federal agents are terrorizing communities in Oregon and across the country. Kristi Noem must go, and we must not give another dollar to ICE.

They think the American people are stupid. It's been 2 days since the killing of Alex Pretti & this Admin continues to lie about what we all saw on video. Americans are horrified & don't want their tax dollars funding this brutality. Not another dime to this lawless operation.

Pretty stunning to think that the subject of an order to block destruction of evidence is the U.S. government. It’s TrumpWorld.

Virginians: Your voice matters to me. We’re understandably hearing from a lot of folks right now. My team is doing its best to answer every call, but if you don’t want to wait on hold, you can always send a message through my website – every single one gets read.

Americans can see with their own eyes. ICE and those under their command are not acting as responsible law enforcement agencies. They are recklessly inciting violence at the whims of the President. They must be reined in. I’ll be voting no on the Homeland Security funding bill.
