Donald Trump is punishing immigrants who follow the rules. And at the same time, he's granting clemency and pardons left and right to real violent criminals and drug traffickers.
None of this is making Americans any safer, and it's hurting families like Sgt. Serrano and Deisy. It's just cruel.

She already had court-ordered protection from deportation. Her husband has served nearly three decades in the Army. And she was complying with the immigration process.
None of that mattered to the Trump Admin.

Deisy Ortega was following the rules. Because her husband serves in the U.S. Army, she was eligible for a program to remain in the U.S. with him. On April 14, she went to an appointment for her application.
At that appointment, Trump's ICE detained her.
Kevin Warsh was warned about the risks of predatory mortgages. He said subprime assets were getting a "bad name," and said he had no regrets about his time on the Fed Board during the 2008 crisis.
Why should Americans trust him to be Chairman of the Federal Reserve now?
All of those barriers add up: it’s what Trump and his cronies are counting on. They want Nevadans to choose not to vote. That’s why their “SAVE America” Act is so unpopular and hasn’t been able to pass the Senate – because it is about voter suppression, not election security.
And to present all those documents to an election official you might have to drive for hours back and forth, especially if you live in rural Nevada.
If you are removed from the voter rolls, you may not find out until Election Day when you’re in line to vote. If you try to re-register, you will need to meet the onerous new documentation requirements – a Nevada REAL ID won’t be enough.
Let’s recap: the SAVE America Act would require states like Nevada to turn over voters’ data to Trump’s DHS. Then, the Trump Admin. gets to decide who they want states to remove from the voter rolls.
But our fight is not over. Dreamers deserve the opportunity to live the American Dream, and I will keep standing up for them.

It’s not an accident. Trump and Stephen Miller have done everything they can to undermine DACA and go after individuals who were brought to this country as children. This is just another one of their cruel and senseless tactics.
DACA recipients are working. They're paying taxes. They're contributing to our communities. But because the Trump Admin. has created ridiculous DACA renewal delays, many of these workers are losing their jobs.
I’ve been to Ash Meadows and spoken with the communities that count on the Amargosa River for their livelihoods. The Dept. of the Interior needs to take immediate action to protect the river from mining.
I will not stop pushing to protect the Amargosa for the Nevadans that rely on it.
Gas prices "are not very high," from the man who has probably never pumped his own gas. What a joke. Numbers don’t lie.

I'm proud to announce key funding is coming to Nevada's rural communities to support schools, road safety, and critical services for every family.
The Secure Rural Schools Program is vital for states like Nevada, and I will continue to support it in the Senate.
Americans overwhelmingly agree that Dreamers like Jahasiel should be able to build their lives in the country they grew up in, and I won’t stop lifting up their stories and fighting for our Dreamers.
Jahasiel had DACA status and no criminal record, but the Trump Admin. detained him anyway while he was on his way to work. To be frank, it’s cruel.
Costs are rising while key Nevada industries like tourism and travel are being harmed by the Trump Administration's policies.
Yesterday evening, I spoke directly to Nevadans about the impacts on our state and some of the work I'm doing to protect working families.
Nevadans are struggling to fill up their gas tanks and pay for groceries, and the President thinks “we are doing so well.”
From his blanket tariffs and rhetoric to his reckless mismanagement of our economy, Donald Trump has made it harder for working Nevadans to get ahead.
