Foreign Service Officers are dedicated diplomats who spend their lives promoting American interests and values across the globe.
I introduced an amendment that will ensure access to pension benefits after 18 years of high performing service.
Trump is the one spreading hate.
Some good news! A judge ruled against Trump’s outrageous $100,000 fee for H-1B visas, which help to bring highly skilled immigrant workers to America.
It’s an important step in the right direction that this ridiculous financial burden was ruled unlawful.
SEATTLE: We are just 8 days away from our city’s first World Cup match.
Thousands of fans will be coming to our beautiful city for these six matches. During this time, stay up to date on FEMA and transit resources to stay safe and manage your commutes.
Yesterday, I was notified of the 50th death in ICE custody since Trump returned to office.
This is unprecedented and further proof that ICE and their private, for-profit prison contractors should not be sent another cent of taxpayer dollars. There must be accountability.
Today, Republicans voted to add another $70 billion slush fund to the lawless and unaccountable agencies of ICE and CBP with zero reforms.
We should be investing in the American people, not sending billions more to these agencies. My full statement:
The US Government Accountability Office released a damning report on ICE’s Camp East Montana in El Paso, Texas. Here are some of the worst details.
Shut it down now.
Republicans want to hand over another $70 BILLION to ICE and CBP with zero meaningful guardrails or reforms.
This bill is a sham and does absolutely nothing to address the real issues Americans are facing. I’m a NO.
50 people have died in detention since Trump returned to office. And tens of thousands more are languishing in these facilities each night, living under horrific conditions and medical neglect.
We cannot allow another cent to go to these for profit, immigration prisons.
Republicans want to give an additional $70 BILLION to ICE and CBP, with no guardrails, oversight, or constraints.
The American people do not want to see their neighbors being terrorized and killed in our streets at the hands of these agencies.
