Greg Bovino, Kristi Noem, and DHS need to answer for their unchecked attacks on Chicago residents.

ICE is an out-of-control danger to our peaceful communities.

The images from the Sun-Times today speak for themselves.

Labeling a nonviolent protest against authoritarianism as ‘anti-American’ is the kind of rhetoric used to silence dissent, not defend democracy.

I'm challenging the federal administration’s unlawful deployment of the National Guard in Portland with a coalition of states.

Sending the National Guard to peaceful protests is unconstitutional and only serves to stoke fear and escalate violence in our cities.

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.
