The President does not have the power to unilaterally declare war. Congressional authorization isn’t optional. When some profit both financially and politically from endless war, the rest of us pay the price. We can’t let them lie us into another conflict that will cost innocent


It's unconstitutional for any president to go to war without a vote in Congress. Period, end of story. I'm joining Thomas Massie on a bipartisan resolution to prohibit an unauthorized war with Iran.








I'm at the Broadview ICE Processing Center with my colleagues, trying to conduct oversight and we are being denied entry. We have reports that immigrants are being detained here without access to their attorneys, sleeping on the floor and without food. Congresswoman Delia C. Ramirez

I'm with Congressman Chuy GarcĂa, Rep. Jonathan L. Jackson, & Rep. Danny K. Davis at the ICE Processing Center at Broadview to investigate ICE's inhumane, unlawful detention of immigrant families - our constituents. Against the law, we're being denied entry.





As you can see, these ICE agents are pointing guns at innocent individuals, no warrants, no explanations, just fear and intimidation. These raids in my district are absolutely vile. Masked and armed like a militia, they’re terrorizing families and destroying any sense of safety
