We are not going to be oppressed by hopelessness and powerlessness.
We are going to be strengthened by organizing in our communities and fighting for justice. And when we win back power, we will reform the court so it actually represents us.

- I am a proud first-generation immigrant. And when I am chair of the Immigration Subcommittee, we will pass permanent protections and pathways to citizenship for immigrant families.
00:00 - Today, the right-wing Supreme Court made an immoral and unjust decision to terminate TPS (Temporary Protected Status), putting countless immigrants and communities at risk. I joined advocates outside the Supreme Court to demand better for TPS holders and all immigrants.
00:00 - My full statement on today's disastrous immigration rulings from the Supreme Court.
- I am so proud to stand alongside these amazing survivors. We will not stop fighting for justice and accountability.
00:00 - June is Immigrant Heritage Month. As Ranking Member of the Immigration Subcommittee and as an immigrant, I’ll never stop fighting for a comprehensive, humane immigration system that recognizes the contributions, values, and threads that immigrants weave throughout this country.

00:00 - Today, I spoke on the House Floor to honor the life and legacy of Juniper Blessing, a beloved UW student who was tragically killed in May. Let’s honor Juniper’s life and legacy by making this moment a rallying cry of love for all our transgender students across this country.
00:00 - Trump is throwing a temper tantrum, trying to stop women from voting, and now he wants $60 BILLION MORE FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE. This is a new funding request because of his deadly and expensive Iran War. I am an absolute HELL NO.

- Today, I received notification of another death in ICE detention –– the 51st death in Trump’s second term. These private, for-profit detention centers have been riddled with reports of neglect, rotting food, and a lack of water. There must be accountability now.
- The Trump administration is trying to send @RepLaMonica to prison because she dared to conduct immigration oversight. Conducting oversight is not a crime, it’s HER JOB. Standing with my friend LaMonica today as she fights against these baseless charges.
- This is totally crazy. Trump cancelled the signing ceremony for a bipartisan housing bill to help lower costs because he’s insisting we pass the SAVE Act to take away voting rights from people across this country. He’s putting his personal projects before your housing.
