Absolutely horrifying. Federal agents just shot and killed another person in Minneapolis.

This is what happens when militarized, untrained agents are unleashed into our communities. ICE needs to get out of Minnesota NOW.

Words matter. When elected officials use hateful rhetoric, our children listen and think it’s okay.

Max, the bullying you faced is unacceptable.

ICE agents raided a house without a warrant, handcuffed an elderly Hmong U.S. citizen at gunpoint, and forced him to stand in the freezing cold in just his underwear.

ICE's depravity knows no bounds. This must end.
A U.S. citizen says ICE forced open the door to his Minnesota home and removed him in his underwear after a warrantless search
The Department of Homeland Security says the operation targeted two sex offenders, but Thao disputes this, saying he lives with his family, none of whom are listed as offenders.

This is anti-Muslim bigotry on full display. If you can’t respect ALL Americans, you don’t deserve to serve in public office.

Lieutenant Governor Hashmi has more respect for Virginia and our country than Tommy Tuberville will ever have.

Trump promised to bring prices down on Day 1. One year later and prices are UP across the board.

Mr. President, when exactly are those prices going to come down?

The decision to suspend immigrant visas for nearly 40% of the world is a cruel and ignorant decision. We owe so much to the immigrants who contribute to our economy, workforce & country. 
 
The anti-immigrant animus leading this Administration must end & this decision reversed.

Here’s a sneak peek of our next Spill the Tea guest 👀 can you guess what Chair @meng.house.gov and @hirono.senate.gov are holding?

What happened in Minneapolis is only the latest example of the terror and lawlessness that ICE agents have unleashed in our neighborhoods.

But they are not above the law.

That is why we are demanding an immediate and independent investigation. There must be accountability.
January 15, 2026 at 3:48 PM
This is unbelievable. Nurses and flight attendants must pass drug tests and background checks, but not ICE agents?

The Administration is unleashing untrained, inexperienced agents into our streets. None of this makes America safer.

BREAKING: the Trump administration is suspending Immigrant Visas for 75 countries.

This racist, xenophobic, and cruel policy will keep families separated indefinitely and shows how anti-immigrant the entire Republican Party is. It must be reversed immediately.

My full statement:

Members of Congress have a right under federal law to conduct visits to ICE detention facilities. Period.

What is Secretary Noem trying to hide?
Trump administration again restricts when members of Congress can inspect ICE facilities
The Department of Homeland Security policy is dated Jan. 8 and was submitted Saturday in federal court comes amid three Democratic lawmakers being denied entry to an ICE facility in Minneapolis.

OTD in 1903, the first Korean immigrants arrived in the U.S. Since then, their contributions can be seen in every facet of American life and here in #TX07—from small businesses to the arts.

I join my @capac.house.gov colleagues in celebrating Korean American Day!

On this day 123 years ago, the first Korean Americans arrived in the U.S. Today on Korean American Day, we celebrate the community and the countless contributions by Korean Americans to the U.S. and to Oregon.

Since the first Korean immigrants arrived in the U.S. in 1903, Korean Americans have made immeasurable contributions to our nation — from business to technology to sports, the arts, food, medicine, and public service.

Happy Korean American Day! 미주 한인의 날을 축하합니다!

ICYMI: Last week, CAPAC members voted to restore the Affordable Care Act tax credits that help millions of families afford health care after months of inaction from Republicans.

This was a victory for the American people.

The Senate must vote on the legislation immediately.

State legislatures are reviving discriminatory land laws that place Asian Americans and people of Asian descent under undue suspicion.

CAPAC members met with @aaaj-aajc.bsky.social and @aaldef.bsky.social to discuss how we can fight against these xenophobic alien land laws.
