Our immigration policies should reflect compassion, consistency, and respect for those who have built their lives here under legal protections. I encourage the Administration to reconsider this decision and call on Congress to provide a permanent solution for TPS holders.

I spoke with MSNBC about the alarming overreach by the Supreme Court. Birthright citizenship is a constitutional guarantee—non-negotiable and not up for debate. No child’s citizenship should ever be questioned. This overreach threatens the rights of all Americans.

Anti-Muslim and anti-immigrant hate has no place in America. Targeting someone for their faith is un-American—period. Muslim Americans and immigrants are leaders, neighbors, and public servants. We must stand united against fear and division.

I’ll go the distance—six hours each way—just to spend four speaking truth with my community about this harmful bill. This is our time to rise, unite, and start #FightingForOurCommunity. We are stronger. We are resilient. And we won’t back down.

I'm outraged by the racist and antisemitic hate speech at UF’s law school. White supremacy has no place in our classrooms, courts, or country—and it should never be awarded. I stand with Jewish and Black communities against this dangerous rhetoric. nytimes.com/2025/06/21/us/…

Right now, immigrant families across South Florida are facing heightened threats— from increased ICE raids to fear-driven deportation tactics coming straight from the Administration. Join me on Tuesday, July 1 at 7:00 PM EST for my Tele-Townhall: "Protecting Immigrant Families:

I led a letter with my colleagues urging the USDA and HHS to evaluate and address the harmful impact potential cuts to Medicaid and SNAP could have on students’ access to free and reduced-price school meals. With food prices rising and school meal debt reaching crisis levels,

I welcome the announcement of a peace agreement between the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Rwanda—an important step that offers hope to the millions who have suffered from years of conflict in eastern Congo. The commitments to end hostilities, allow humanitarian access,

17 million Americans will lose their health insurance under Republicans’ One Big Ugly Bill. This reckless bill will devastate families—forcing them to choose between medical care and putting food on the table. We need everyone to stand up and vote NO. I'm fighting for you—in

Jeffries: I've heard a lot from my Republican colleagues who have expressed pride in this accomplishment. I ask the question if Republicans were so proud of this one big ugly bill, why did the debate begin at 328 AM in the morning?

We remain committed to fighting against a harmful bill that threatens the well-being of millions of Americans. In a late-night move, House Republicans changed their vote behind closed doors—without public scrutiny. Regardless of the hour, we stand united with Hakeem Jeffries

Today is a sad day for all Americans. At a time when Americans are struggling with rising costs—from healthcare to housing, groceries to childcare—House Republicans have chosen to pass the most heartless bill of the 2lst century.

It was a joy to join the City of Plantation in celebrating our nation’s 249th birthday. I loved seeing so many smiling faces and sharing in the patriotic spirit. Until next time, Plantation — happy Fourth of July! 🇺🇸

Earlier today on MSNBC, I said it plainly: This Big Ugly Bill won’t be remembered for what it builds—but for what it destroys. It forces families to reverify every six months, with no new funding to manage the burden. The result? Delays. Denials. Devastation. Some parts may

Today, I stood with immigrant families and advocates to call for real change. As the proud daughter of Haitian immigrants, I know the strength and sacrifice our communities bring to this country. We gathered not in silence—but in strength. Not in fear—but in faith. It’s time to
