U.S. Representative for Illinois's 4th District
No one is safe under this lawless DHS. Not even U.S. citizens.
We must make sure these masked agents are held accountable and we must dismantle DHS.
The government doesn’t track how often immigration agents detain U.S. citizens. So ProPublica did. We’ve tallied more than 500 Americans held against their will in warrantless arrests and detentions during President Trump’s second term.
In the face of authoritarian attacks on our democracy, intergovernmental coalitions protect our elections and ensure every person’s vote is counted.
Yesterday, I joined @chuygarcia.house.gov to host an election protection roundtable with election officials, government agencies,
The MAGA Supreme Court is letting Trump continue third country deportations, for now.
Trump and Miller are sending people to countries they don’t belong to, where grave human rights violations happen, to be tortured and in some cases killed. This cruelty and injustice must end.
BREAKING: The Supreme Court lets the Trump administration continue deporting people to third countries for now while justices weigh policy.
The fossil fuel folks donated big to Trump and his campaign, and now Trump is returning the favor by allowing them to pollute our air and destroy our planet.

E.P.A. Will Erase Limits on Climate Pollution From Power Plants
Generation of electricity is the second largest source of carbon dioxide and other planet-warming gases in the United States.
Thank you, @chuygarcia.house.gov, for providing a platform to acknowledge the families targeted in our communities and to stand together in their defense.
Your immigration status does NOT determine the status of your humanity, and Chicago will never stop standing up for one another.
Last fall, ICE and CBP launched an all-out assault on Chicago with Midway Blitz. It’s been a year of peaceful resistance and advocacy against their illegal mass deportation operation.
Yesterday, I was proud to stand with @chuygarcia.house.gov and continue the fight to protect our community.
25 years ago today, our nation suffered a horrific attack of terror.
Today we honor the lives lost, the brave first responders, the communities that came together to clean up and rebuild, and all the families forever affected by that tragic day.
We will never forget.
If you believe Trump will give you $5K if Republicans keep control of Congress, I have a bridge to sell you. This con man is trying to buy your vote.
Trump: "We're making a fortune. So if the Republicans win, you win with us and you get $5,000. It will be called the Trump Dividend. Congratulations."

I oppose the closing of the National Archives facility in Chicago. The lack of transparency surrounding this decision has only deepened the loss it would represent for researchers, historians, dedicated employees, and our community.
I urge the National Archives to reconsider this decision.
On the 61st anniversary of Medicare and Medicaid, I joined my brothers and sisters in calling on Congress to protect and strengthen these vital programs, while continuing the fight for a universal health care system that guarantees quality, affordable care for everyone.
Innocent children are being locked away and traumatized at the Dilley Trailer Prison.
They are fed food with worms and mold, drinking water that makes them sick, and being denied medical care.
Shut down Dilley! No child should have to suffer like this.

@chuygarcia.house.gov: This bill gives schools the resources they need to help students heal from the aggressive, illegal, and cruel ICE actions that have terrorized our communities.

“A child’s classroom should never become another casualty of our immigration system.” - @chuygarcia.house.gov
It’s impossible to focus on learning if you’re scared of ICE, or afraid for your friends & family. The Right to Learn Act address what kids really need - safe classrooms & school supports for students & families. Thank you @chuygarcia.house.gov @repbonamici.bsky.social & Rep. Correa for this bill.
Students can’t learn when they’re living in fear. ICE raids and brutality have left many children afraid about their families and friends and themselves. I’m leading the Right to Learn Act with @chuygarcia.house.gov to protect public schools from harmful immigration enforcement activity.
IT'S TIME TO END THE ICE AGE.
No more half-measures. Dismantle DHS. End for-profit detention. Stop criminalizing immigrants. Build a fair, accountable immigration system rooted in dignity. Pass the Melt ICE Act. That's what our communities deserve.
No child should have to learn in fear, & no school should have to endure the trauma of immigration enforcement in their community. That’s why I introduced the Right to Learn Act w/ Reps. Correa, Omar, & Bonamici to help schools & students confront these cruel Trump policies.
Happening now: @rweingarten.bsky.social joins @chuygarcia.house.gov, @repbonamici.bsky.social and Rep. Lou Correa for a press conference on the Right to Learn Act, to create safe, stable learning environments free of interference from immigration officers.
We should not give one more cent to Trump and Hegseth to start more wars of choice, while our constituents can’t make ends meet. We should be funding healthcare, education, and housing, not war, death, and destruction.
