The details of this deal are still unclear, but I hope this means an end to the financial toll on American taxpayers who are paying more for gas, utilities, and groceries. I hope my constituents get to come home and that civilians in the region can rest a little easier.
Right now, our focus should be on maintaining this agreement – not sabotaging it. We need to use this opportunity to build a broader path away from war and collective punishment, and toward a future that brings more security and stability to the region.
We need to overturn Citizens United.
The Trump Administration is continuing to sink to new lows – deporting people to countries where they have no ties, support, or protections. They just sent two dozen people to the Central African Republic, where they’re likely to face human rights abuses.
I am relieved by the agreement to end the war in Iran, but we also need to remember how we got here.

I’m relieved that no one was hurt and there’s no active threat to the Islamic Center of San Diego. But we urgently have to address the anti-Muslim and anti-Islam hatred brewing in our community and across the U.S. Everyone, no matter their faith, should be able to live in peace.
The leader of Tren de Aragua was responsible for human and drug trafficking and horrific violence. He should have been held accountable in a court of law, not in a rogue display of bravado. Ignoring these rules makes them less effective at protecting us.
On the 14th anniversary of DACA, the program is under siege. USCIS is intentionally delaying the process and failing to process renewals so folks have lost their jobs while waiting in limbo. They deserve stability and pathways to citizenship.
