I had the pleasure of meeting with IBEW Local 553 to discuss how Congress can better prevent wage suppression and protect benefits for union electricians. I'm always proud to work alongside unions to ensure they have the benefits and bargaining rights they deserve.

"Rep. Valerie Foushee said Tuesday that the deployment of immigration agents in North Carolina “is a profound abuse of power, a violation of civil rights and a stain on our democracy.”” I said what I said. Border agents shouldn't be in North Carolina—period. www.washingtonpost.com/national/202...

Fear spreads as federal immigration crackdown in North Carolina expands to Raleigh

Federal agents have expanded their North Carolina immigration crackdown to the area around the state capital of Raleigh

No one should ever have to choose between buying diapers or groceries, and that includes our military families. (1/2)

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govNov 24(source)

Delivery routes in #NC04 are operating with reduced fleets because USPS vehicles are going unrepaired for months, causing delays & putting the safety of carriers at risk. I’m demanding information from USPS on how they plan to address the urgent safety concerns and the mounting backlog of repairs.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govNov 24(source)

There's no reason for border agents to be in North Carolina. It's dividing our communities and putting children and families at risk. I joined WPTF Radio’s Lisa Price to further discuss this unnecessary use of federal resources, and our community’s response. www.youtube.com/watch?v=hN3L...

It’s now reported that DHS has reversed course and will continue border agent operations in NC. This ugly, systemic targeting of Black and Brown Americans is deeply troubling. I will ALWAYS stand with our immigrant communities—they deserve dignity and respect. www.wral.com/news/ap/dc93...

NC immigration enforcement operation ‘not over’ despite earlier reports, DHS says

DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said on Thursday the immigration enforcement operation in North Carolina is “not over and is not ending anytime soon.”

If you see anything from Border Patrol or ICE that should not be happening, please contact my office at 919-967-7924. (2/2)

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govNov 20(source)

While I am relieved to hear that Border Patrol is leaving their operations North Carolina, I encourage all residents in the Fourth District to remain vigilant and continue to support and protect the safety of our neighbors and our communities. (1/2)

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govNov 20(source)

Thousands of kids in our community are missing class out of fear that their family might be ripped apart for the 'crime' of being brown in America. This administration's actions are inhumane and must stop immediately. (2/2)

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govNov 20(source)

It’s a week before Thanksgiving, a time when students are learning the power of community with friends and family. Instead, Trump ordered federal agents to sweep the Triangle in a show of force. (1/2) www.newsobserver.com/news/local/e...

Attendance drops in Wake, Durham, Chapel Hill schools during Border Patrol surge

Nearly 1 in 9 Wake County students were absent on Tuesday, far higher than the normal total.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govNov 19(source)

Today, I sat down with Mayor Leonardo Williams to discuss the ongoing Border Patrol and ICE activity in North Carolina. Immigrants strengthen our communities, and we are committed to protecting our neighbors and ensuring that Durham remains a safe and welcoming place for all.

Today, I joined @demwomencaucus.bsky.social in honoring the survivors of Jeffrey Epstein. We must release all the Epstein Files to deliver the full truth to the American people, bring justice to perpetrators, and give peace to survivors.

If you are a resident of NC-04 & have been impacted by these operations, please call my office at 919-967-7924 for assistance. An ICE Privacy Release Form can be found at foushee.house.gov/ice-privacy-release-form.

I am outraged by the continued and expanding deployment of U.S. Border Patrol and ICE agents in North Carolina. This is not law enforcement—it is state-sanctioned intimidation of our communities, and it cannot be tolerated. Read my full statement.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govNov 17(source)

I joined @adams.house.gov in opposing this unlawful deployment and am demanding DHS Secretary Noem and CBP Commissioner Scott to end this siege immediately. (2/2)

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.govNov 17(source)

Border Patrol conducting “enforcement” in a city far from any border and without public justification is an unacceptable abuse of power. These arrests in Charlotte, driven by racial profiling, destabilize communities and violate basic civil rights. (1/2)
