Republicans have to get serious about overhauling ICE.

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.
- JH
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.

ICE is out of control. Killing people, separating families, and terrorizing our communities. I’m a NO on the DHS funding bill.

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.

Our Colorado communities deserve the support to rebuild after devastating fires and flooding. Disaster relief shouldn’t be used as a political weapon. www.denverpost.com/2026/01/21/c...

Using child care as a political weapon against Colorado families is just plain cruel. Glad to see the courts continue to block the Trump administration from withholding funds. www.denverpost.com/2026/01/23/c...

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.

Today, we joined Denver’s annual Marade. It’s in times like these that we must keep Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy in our hearts to fight for a more perfect nation that’s built on liberty and justice for all.

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...

Congress has the constitutional responsibility to decide when America goes to war. Americans are struggling to afford groceries and health care here at home under President Trump. They don’t want him throwing us into another forever war to enrich oil executives.

Women deserve the right to make their own reproductive health care decisions. Mifepristone is a safe, effective, and FDA-approved medication. We’ll always fight for mifepristone to remain legal and accessible so women can get the care they need.

Soaring health care costs are squeezing millions of families. Affordable health care should be a top priority for Congress. Yet, Republicans just blocked a clean, three-year extension of the ACA enhanced premium tax credits that already passed the House in a bipartisan vote.

Lower costs and affordable health care. Why can’t President Trump get it in his head that’s what Americans want?

This was already struck down by a federal court last month. Directly after, we visited the Aurora ICE facility to ensure they were following the order. Now, Sec. Noem has found a loophole. We’ve fought this before, we’ll fight this again. Congressional oversight is constitutionally required.
