Today in 1919, Congress passed the #19thAmendment, securing women’s right to vote—on paper. But the fight isn’t over. Voting rights are under attack once again. We honor the legacy of the suffragists by defending the ballot box for all. #VotingRights #WomensHistory

After a series of close calls and system failures, I’m demanding accountability and urgent fixes from FAA leadership. We need an FAA that’s fully staffed, properly supported, and laser-focused on its core mission: keeping the flying public safe—especially at high-traffic

My colleague’s deleted remarks about this morning’s Sikh prayer are offensive and unacceptable. Freedom of religion built this country, and Sikh-Americans are valued members of our communities. They deserve respect. Intolerance has no place in Congress.

On #NationalHigherEducationDay, Trump is asking the Supreme Court to approve mass layoffs at the Dept. of Education. This isn’t just a staffing decision—it’s an attack on students, civil rights, and the promise of education. I won’t let public education be dismantled.

The United Farm Workers, along with the entire labor movement, stands in strong solidarity with our comrade, labor leader David Huerta. We demand his immediate release and condemn indiscriminate sweeps targeting working class immigrants.

I stand with David Huerta and @SEIUCalifornia against ICE’s outrageous and disgusting behavior. We won’t be intimidated from peacefully protesting in support of our friends, neighbors, and families. Mr. Huerta must be released immediately. ICE raids should be immediately

After years of serving their country, federal workers are being left behind. The reckless pullback in federal funding is collapsing career opportunities and devastating livelihoods. Public service shouldn’t come with a pink slip. We must do better. #ProtectPublicServants

🚨I’m here with Congresswoman Luz Rivas, @RepNormaTorres & Rep. Lou Correa at the Roybal Federal Building exercising our Congressional authority to investigate ICE’s inhumane detention of immigrant families—including moms & kids held after routine check-ins. No beds. No food. No water. We

Today, I joined Rep. Jimmy Gomez, Congresswoman Luz Rivas, and Rep. Lou Correa at the Roybal Federal Building to demand answers. ICE is detaining immigrant families, including moms and kids, after routine check-ins. As Members of Congress, we’re investigating this abuse of power.

Oversight is our job. And we’re not going away. Members of Congress must be able to oversee federal agencies—that’s not optional, it’s the law. Rep. Norma Torres Congresswoman Luz Rivas Rep. Lou Correa

Over the past few weeks, DHS has been detaining and deporting immigrants, some of whom entered the U.S. legally, are enrolled in school, and have work authorization. This is currently happening in Santa Ana. This executive overreach is illegal and can't go unchecked.

We were at the federal detention center in downtown LA. They deployed some type of chemical irritant that made people cough and we had to mask. The people here were mainly attorneys, family of those being detained, and two members of Congress. Rep. Norma Torres

Kelly Loeffler does not seem to understand what her job is. Last I checked, she runs the SBA, not the Department of Homeland Security. Pulling resources out of Los Angeles, will only hurt small businesses and does nothing to keep anyone safe. This is going to have a

DHS blocked Rep. Jimmy Gomez, Congresswoman Luz Rivas, Rep. Lou Correa, and me from doing our jobs. That’s a blatant violation of federal law. We have every right to inspect these facilities—and we won’t stop demanding answers or exposing this administration’s cruel treatment of vulnerable

#TeamTorres had an amazing time at the Kickoff Celebration for the 27th Annual Lemon Festival. Thank you to the Chamber of Commerce for organizing such a beautiful celebration of community spirit and joy in beautiful Downtown Upland.

They yell ā€œinvasionā€ at the border—but this is the real one: Trump is seizing control of California’s National Guard and forcing 2,000 troops into our streets. Every official swears an oath to protect and uphold the Constitution. Pete Hegseth, we follow the law, not Trump’s

ICE is conducting raids in and around our district, including Norwalk & Whittier. Please stay safe. If you plan to protest, do so PEACEFULLY. The National Guard remains in LA and will respond to any escalation.

The President just called for the arrest of a sitting Governor. This isn’t leadership. It’s not democracy. It’s authoritarianism — a direct threat to our nation. Every American, Democrat or Republican, should be alarmed. We cannot stay silent. #DemocracyUnderThreat
