ICE has more funding than the Marines, yet there is almost no oversight in how the agency is spending taxpayer dollars.
I joined my colleagues to demand ICE tell us how they are spending YOUR money on their cruel mass deportation campaign.

Today, I met with Illinois Environmental Protection Agency Director James Jennings to discuss how Congress can help Illinois keep our environment clean. I appreciate the opportunity to speak with Director Jennings about how we can improve the quality of life for our constituents.
Senate Republicans just blocked the war powers resolution that would have prevented President Trump from ordering further strikes on Iran unless authorized by Congress.
The Constitution clearly gives Congress the power to declare war. It’s long overdue that Congress step up to its responsibilities.
For 19 years, leaders from Bloomington-Normal have come to Washington to advocate for federal investment in their community.
I had the pleasure of meeting with them today to discuss federal funding opportunities for their local infrastructure needs.
Five days, five different explanations for why President Trump bombed Iran. The only thing that is clear is that this Administration seems to have no plan or strategy.
Last night, I accepted an award from @protectwildutah.bsky.social and spoke about the importance of protecting our public lands.
It has been my honor to work with them to safeguard fragile landscapes so they may be enjoyed by generations of future Americans.
Today, I met with U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Chicago District Commander Colonel Kenneth Rockwell to receive an update on some of the most critical infrastructure projects in Northern Illinois and how the federal government can best support the Corps’ work.
Happy 189th birthday Chicago!
For nearly two centuries, our great city has shown an endless capacity for reinvention, growth, and dynamism. May Chicago continue to thrive for many more birthdays to come!
Our Founders were wise on this point: one should never send our sons and daughters into war without the consent of the people.
I have made this argument throughout my Congressional career, regardless of if the President is a Democrat or Republican.
Local radio and television stations provide Illinoisans with essential emergency information and informative, entertaining programming.
Today, I met with members of the Illinois Broadcasters Association to discuss how Congress can best support their important work.
Secretary Noem may not know it, but DACA recipients are being wrongfully deported.
Under the law, they are supposed to be protected from deportation.

Secretary Noem won’t admit she was wrong.
Alex Pretti, Renee Good, and so many other victims of her agents’ use of excessive force are NOT “domestic terrorists.”
They’re human beings who were exercising their constitutional rights.

The killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti were horrifying.
Kristi Noem must answer for them.

I’ve seen the unspeakable cruelty of Secretary Noem and the Trump Administration in Chicago and across the country.
We’ve all seen it.
They are waging a campaign of fear and eroding trust in law enforcement and government.
That’s dangerous.

Illinois watched in horror as masked agents terrorized our streets.
I have Secretary Noem under oath before me right now.
I plan to get answers.
Secretary Noem’s DHS is operating without a moral compass.
She’s finally under oath after months of stonewalling Congress.
