It should come as no surprise that there is a measles outbreak at Camp East Montana.

This marks the fourth letter I’ve sent to DHS and ICE leadership. The previous three letters have gone unanswered.
Read the full letter below 👇🏽

Today, I - along with Rep. Pramila Jayapal, Ranking Member of the Immigration Integrity, Security, and Enforcement Subcommittee, and 22 other Members of Congress - sent a letter to DHS Secretary Kristi Noem and ICE Acting Director Todd Lyons calling for the immediate closure of Camp East Montana.
I’m not attending the State of the Union because it’ll be nothing but lies.
Here’s the *real* State of the Union.
At the same time, Americans are less safe — his masked, secret police have killed Americans and violated the constitution.
I refuse to participate in what will be shameless gaslighting and offensive untruths. I will not be in attendance for the State of the Union.
While billionaires get tax cuts and private prison corporations receive billions in government contracts, the rest of the country is feeling the consequences of Trump’s tariffs, his unwillingness to extend ACA subsidies, and his cuts to Medicaid and nutrition programs.
Americans are suffering because of Trump’s economic policies.
Americans are worse off today because of Donald Trump and his policies, and instead of using the State of the Union to confront the issues we are facing, he will use his platform to lie and divide.

🧵 (1) SIX ICE DEATHS IN TEXAS IN SIX WEEKS; 3 at a Fort Bliss camp holding +3K immigrants. A homicide involving staff. That’s after the deadliest year in ICE detention in decades as Trump seeks to expand it. Lawyers call it an ‘unfolding humanitarian crisis.’

🚨 Palantir - one of the companies at the heart of Trump’s mass deportation program - paid $0 in federal income tax on $1.5 billion of income last year thanks to the One Big Beautiful Bill.
It’s the third year in a row they’ve managed to avoid paying ANY federal income tax.

America has lost a giant. Reverend Jesse Jackson dedicated his life to justice and opportunity, and our country is better off for it.
I'm thinking of my colleague Rep. Jonathan Jackson and the rest of Rev. Jackson's family today.

To my Republican colleagues, I am pleading with you for help.
If the Trump administration does not care about its humanitarian responsibilities, I am pleading with you to care about the fraud at Camp East Montana, Acquisitions Logistics, and the massive expansion of migrant detention facilities.
My question to DHS: if you don’t care about the human beings in custody at Camp East Montana, will you at least care about the massive fraud?
I renew my calls for an urgent classified briefing so this doesn’t happen again.
While the end of flight restrictions above Southern New Mexico brings this saga of gross incompetence to a close, it remains vitally important that Congress understand the whole scope of what led to the unprecedented closure of airspace in our region.
elpasomatters.org/2026/02/12/s...
🚨 NEWS: In light of the airspace closure in El Paso and southern New Mexico, @repgabevasquez.bsky.social, Senator Lujan, Senator Heinrich, and I are demanding answers from Secretary Duffy, Secretary Hegseth, and Secretary Noem.
To be clear: this was the result of incompetence at the highest levels of the administration.
Next for me and my team is ensuring our community gets all the answers we deserve and that no other community has to deal with what we had to endure.
I spent much of today briefing my fellow members of Congress both in the House and the Senate - this after assuring local leaders and the public that there was no risk to the community. El Pasoans were rightfully alarmed by how the federal government carried all of this out.
The amount of misinformation being spread — including by the White House — is alarming and unhelpful.
