Secretary Chavez-DeRemer and the Trump administration must reverse this action and reopen Job Corps centers.

Job Corps provides a path to success for many young people who have struggled in the traditional school system. Ripping away education, job training, health care, and housing from these students is callous and short-sighted.

Graphic with light blue text on white background, photo of Congresswoman Bonamici at a Tongue Point Job Corps graduation. Text reads: "I’m leading my Democratic colleagues in the Oregon delegation to urge the Trump administration to stop the shut down of Job Corps. This is a callous and dangerous decision that has thrown the lives of about 25,000 young Americans into chaos, particularly for residential students who have only days to locate new housing, health care support, and career pathways.”

Trump’s travel ban will not make us safer. As we saw with the “Muslim Ban” during Trump’s first term, travel bans separate families, increase discrimination, and leave people under the threat of violence and persecution.

Fury and resignation around the world as Trump's travel ban comes roaring back

After Trump cited national security and terrorism concerns in banning nationals largely from Africa and Asia, the reactions of those countries ranged from weariness to anger.

The richest man in the world and the President are having a massive public fight. Meanwhile, my colleagues on the other side of the aisle are doing their best to keep them both happy. Americans deserve better.

I’ve heard many questions challenging the accuracy of the Department of Labor’s “Job Corps Transparency Report.” It should be no surprise that DOGE was involved in writing it, as Secretary Chavez-DeRemer admitted during the hearing.

Now she’s made an abrupt shift from a champion to the destroyer of this important program, and I questioned her about why she is trying to shut it down.

Job Corps is an important education and workforce program for students who do not succeed in a traditional school environment. A year and a half ago, Secretary Chavez-DeRemer proudly posted on social media that she had been named a “Job Corps champion.”

At a recent forum on behavioral health with Rep. Salinas, I highlighted how the Trump administration and GOP politicians are adding to—not addressing—the mental health challenges of Oregonians.

What we should focus on is finding the best way to educate all students regardless of income or background — something we cannot do without the investments this administration is cutting.

Suzanne Bonamici@repbonamici.bsky.socialJun 4(source)

Many of my colleagues and the Secretary of Education like to use the Nation’s Report Card scores to talk about how education is doing. #EduSky

Suzanne Bonamici@repbonamici.bsky.socialJun 4(source)

The Secretary of Education’s job is to execute laws passed by Congress. If she can't do that, she shouldn't hold the position.

Either she wasn’t being truthful, or she doesn’t know what’s happening in the agency she supposedly leads.

Suzanne Bonamici@repbonamici.bsky.socialJun 4(source)

Sec. McMahon testified in the US Senate that she would follow the law and not cut funding that was approved by Congress. But DOGE froze or cut more than $1 billion in funding at the Dept. of Education on her watch.

We must stop the Trump administration’s attacks on immigrants and instead work on humane immigration reform.

Suzanne Bonamici@repbonamici.bsky.socialJun 4(source)

Until this administration, Department of Homeland Security guidance said that ICE raids could not take place at sensitive locations like courthouses and schools. I have introduced legislation to put that guidance into law.

Suzanne Bonamici@repbonamici.bsky.socialJun 4(source)

When ICE lingers around courthouses, they deter people from asserting their right to prove a claim of asylum – a right protected under international law.

Immigration arrest at courthouse marks first for Portland

Federal authorities arrested a 24-year-old who was seeking asylum.

The Trump administration and GOP politicians are making broad accusations and allegations of antisemitism that diminish our ability to productively address real threats of antisemitism like those we have tragically seen across the country.

Suzanne Bonamici@repbonamici.bsky.socialJun 3(source)

Conflating all protests or criticisms of Israeli policy with antisemitism ignores that each case is very fact specific.

Congratulations to all the NW Oregon students graduating from high school and college this year! No matter what path you take after graduation, continue learning, appreciate your friends and family, and help to make the world a better place.

Oregonians and Americans aren’t staying silent as the Trump administration is trying to shut down Job Corps. In this special edition of the Mailbag Minute, I’m reviewing comments that highlight how Job Corps changes lives for the better.
