If you're able, please go out and support your local immigrant-owned restaurants, grocery stores, and shops today. ICE enforcement is harming their business and keeping their workers and customers scared and at home.

Iris Dement, These Hills

Far away I've traveled,
To stand once more alone.
And hear my memories echo,
Through these hills that I call home.

As a child I roamed this valley.
I watched the seasons come and go.
I spent many hours dreaming,
On these hills that I call home.

Looks like ICE is now cracking down on … Native Americans.

This letter was just posted by the chairman of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe in North/South Dakota:

“Our Nation is a sovereign government and our members are not immigrants. We are not subject to immigration enforcement on our own lands.”

Today marks 15 years since Gabby Giffords was shot at a constituent meeting, in an attack that killed 6 and wounded 13.
I am proud to cosponsor a bipartisan, bicameral resolution to honor the victims and their families today, and recommit to ending gun and political violence.

Public safety is strongest when law enforcement can focus on real threats and when communities trust that they will be treated fairly and with dignity.

What we’re seeing is not about public safety - it’s political theater that creates fear and weakens trust.

With ICE on our streets, many of our Latino small businesses are seeing noticeably less foot traffic this holiday season.

If you can, show up for our neighbors by shopping local at places like Mercado Central - home to dozens of vibrant mom and pop shops.
