My Dignity for Detained Immigrants Act establishes real standards for immigrant detention and phases out for-profit facilities.
This corrupt administration shouldn’t be allowed to funnel billions of dollars to private prisons companies who donated millions to Trump’s campaign.

23 people have died in immigration detention this year under the Trump administration, and ICE seems to be lying about the circumstances.
They told Congress that Chaofeng Ge died by suicide, but he was found with his hands and feet tied. That simply doesn’t add up.

Republicans want to slash programs across the government and make sure there’s no way for future administrations to fund them.
That means programs like Medicare and Social Security would be on the chopping block.

220 judges, including 23 appointed by Trump, have ruled that this administration’s mass detention policies are unlawful.
They are sending tens of thousands of innocent immigrants into for-profit prisons with subhuman conditions and no access to attorneys. It’s horrific.

Sarah Owings is a lawyer who represents immigrants who have been detained by ICE. As Trump and Republicans remove all oversight measures at these facilities, it is critical that we listen to her clients’ stories.

In Charlotte, NC, Border Patrol raided a church, tried to arrest the same U.S. citizen twice within five minutes, and scared families so much that thousands of kids were kept out of school.
In WA and OR, we’ve seen people kidnapped from preschools and daycares.
It’s disgusting.

The CFPB has returned billions to Americans scammed by corporations. But now the Trump administration is canceling lawsuits and taking money out of consumers’ pockets.
The government should work for the people, not billionaire CEOs — and I’m demanding answers.

Trump is doing everything he can to hide his immigration detention abuses — lying to the public, sending people to third countries, and denying members of Congress access to detention facilities.

It was an honor to meet with leadership of the Washington State National Guard.
Our National Guard members sacrifice so much to serve this country, and it is critical that we work to ensure that their skills are respected and used correctly, not politicized by this administration.

Democrats wanted to force big airlines to pay you if they delayed your flight for hours and hours. Then Trump came into office and cancelled the entire plan.
Why? Because he only cares about helping out his billionaire buddies, not you.
