The reports about Secretary Hegseth authorizing a strike on survivors are deeply alarming. If true, these orders would violate U.S. and international law.

Swastikas and nooses are not “potentially divisive” — they are symbols of antisemitism, racism, and terror. We need answers on how and why the Coast Guard chose to diminish the severity of its policy toward these symbols of hate. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...
U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify swastikas, nooses as hate symbols
The military service, which falls under the Department of Homeland Security, has drafted a new policy that classifies such items “potentially divisive.”

Tomorrow, I will vote to release the Epstein files. Survivors deserve justice, and the public deserves the truth. These records—potentially including financial documents revealing Epstein’s associates—are key to getting to the bottom of what happened and preventing future abuse.

Despite what some, including at DHS, are claiming, this video isn’t from a year ago in Chicago. It was Friday in Hoffman Estates, in my district, a street I’ve walked myself. It appears to show a child being violently detained by ICE. It’s real, and I’m demanding accountability.
