I conducted another surprise inspection of the Miramar ICE facility after horrifying reports from a whistleblower last week. I saw slight improvements due to our oversight and advocacy, but we must keep the pressure on. Makeshift detention centers like this should not exist.

Trump says he opposes communism, but seizes private businesses, surveils Americans, sends armed thugs door to door, and props up a socialist dictatorship in Venezuela. My constituents fled communist countries. They've seen this playbook before.

Immigrants aren't poisoning the blood of our country, no matter what Trump says. But Republicans' refusal to denounce this blatant racism is poisoning our politics.

Trump's failure in Iran has emboldened the Houthis. Now, Red Sea shipping is at risk while the Strait of Hormuz stays closed. This strategic disaster hurts our economy and empowers Iran's proxies. Americans are paying the price every day. When will Republicans speak up?

Yemen faces an unparalleled humanitarian disaster, and Trump's actions are making it worse. Trump's cruel aid cuts closed hundreds of health clinics, doubled the number of starving women and children, and only gave more leverage to the Houthi terrorists. We must reverse course.

Trump spent more than $1 billion bombing Yemen. That money could have paid for a full year of humanitarian aid. Instead of saving lives, he spent that money killing civilians.

FDA keeps our food and medicine safe. But Republicans want to slash its budget. We should invest in food and medical safety, not abandon it.

Congress created TPS to keep people from being deported to extremely unsafe conditions. Earthquakes are the FIRST EXAMPLE LISTED in the law. Despite two devastating earthquakes in Venezuela, Trump continues to rip status from law-abiding Venezuelans and send them into danger.

SNAP is the backbone of food security in America. Republicans want to cut it AGAIN, despite being the most efficient anti-hunger program we have. I'll never stop fighting these cuts.

Lifting sanctions on Delcy Rodriguez's personal bank accounts does nothing to help Venezuelans. It just allows the same criminal regime to self-enrich and entrench their rule while delaying any steps towards a transition. We must reverse course and push for democracy.

Republicans want to gut programs that feed women and children in need. It's heartless, and not at all who we should be as a country.

Crimes against humanity continue in Venezuela because most perpetrators are still in charge. We should push for a real democratic transition, not get-rich-quick schemes for Trump's oil industry friends.

American farmers and families face skyrocketing costs thanks to Trump. Instead of investing in our farmers, the Republican Agriculture bill abandons them completely.

The only thing that's changed in Venezuela since Maduro's arrest is the dictator's name. Venezuelans deserve real democracy and respect for their human rights, not the same corrupt regime backed by Big Oil and MAGA.
