How can we keep telling immigrant families to follow the rules when they keep being punished for doing so?

This boy's family did exactly what they were supposed to by bringing him to his check-in, only for ICE to take him away!

An 8-year-old shouldn't be punished for showing up. This child belongs back home with his family and back in his third grade classroom.

Happy Diwali to our Hindu, Sikh, Jain, and Buddhist neighbors celebrating the Festival of Lights across the 1st District and around the world!

As families light their diyas and gather around tables filled with loved ones, Diwali reminds us that light always overcomes darkness es despair.

The traditions you share make our communities brighter and stronger, and I’m grateful to celebrate alongside you. May this season fill your homes with joy and your year ahead with peace and prosperity!

3 days after the American people rejected the GOP's agenda, the President chose to put Stephen Miller, a white supremacist and long-time champion of inhumane immigration tactics, at the helm of the White House!

Instead of listening to Americans, Trump is DOUBLING DOWN on his cruelty! Has this administration learned nothing?
Stephen Miller is the new Chief of Staff.

District 1, we couldn’t have done this without you!

I’m grateful for the continued support I’ve received from this community, and I’m proud to be afforded the opportunity to continue this fight in D.C. and bring home resources for Chicago!

The American people deserve answers about why the Trump Administration is harboring an election denier and fraudster. 

@repdinatitus and I are leading a probe into how the State Department helped Flávio Bolsonaro flee Brazil and why he was granted a U.S. visa.

With more than a billion Catholics counting on him, @Pontifex still made time to vote back home in the First District!

Thank you, Holy Father, for reminding us that every voice matters. It's a true honor to call the first American pope my constituent!

Dolores Huerta spent more than seven decades proving that the people who feed this country deserve dignity, fair pay, and a seat at the table. Arrested more than 20 times, threatened at every turn, she kept organizing until farmworkers won contracts, protections, and a voice that ignore.

My father stood with her in Delano and Bakersfield, and in 1988 he joined the farmworkers’ fast against the pesticides that were poisoning them, because her fight was a fight for every working family.

Let us honor her legacy by building a country where every worker is treated with dignity.

My thoughts and prayers are with her family and loved ones through this difficult time.

When a campaign turns a rape survivor’s childhood into an attack ad, the victim becomes the defendant and the tragedy becomes a TV commercial.

I led 11 colleagues in saying public service invites scrutiny, not the weaponization of sexual violence. #NotACampaignWeapon

I’m proud to have earned a perfect 100 on the @HRC ‘s 119th Congressional Scorecard, because equality is a promise I made to every family in the First District.

While countless Americans face relentless attacks from this administration, I’ll keep standing with them on every htsCampaign

I wholeheartedly condemn the detention by Israeli authorities of @bradlander and dozens of American rabbis and advocates who were peacefully helping Palestinian farmers harvest their olives in the occupied West Bank.

Standing with farmers to protect their land and livelihood should not lead to detention, and all those still held must be released immediately. The U.S. must speak up for human rights, dignity, and accountability!

Every American deserves to worship without fear, and that starts with leaders who lower the temperature instead of raising it.

I stand with my colleague @RepRaja, his family, and every Hindu and Indian American family in Illinois.
