The genocide has not ended. The Israeli military has not stopped dropping US-made bombs in Palestine, murdering Palestinian children. We can’t trust Netanyahu and Trump to pursue peace, self determination, and security in the region. Congress must act. Let's pass my Block the Bombs Act.

I went to one of the worst ICE Detention Centers in the country with @jayapal.house.gov, @hankjohnson.house.gov, @repnikema.bsky.social, & @foushee.house.gov. ICE is using your taxpayer dollars to mistreat people who shouldn't even be detained in the first place. We cannot allow a facility in NC.

ICE is lying. They’re trying to make this about something other than the vile conditions reported inside these private, for-profit prisons. But we’re not going to stop. Stewart Detention Center must be shut down. Every for-profit ICE facility must be eliminated. And ICE must be dismantled.

🚨 #NC04: I am hosting a Town Hall in Durham on Tuesday, August 25! Join me, Durham County Commissioner Stephen Valentine, and North Carolina State Representative Zack Hawkins to make your voice heard about important issues facing the Fourth District. To RSVP, visit: nc04TownHall.Eventbrite.com.

ICE has received over $100 billion, but has shown no ability to respect human rights. We will keep showing up despite the tyranny of Republicans to conduct oversight and protect our communities.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.gov1d ago(source)

Outside of the Stewart Detention Center in Georgia, I spoke about the inhumane conditions of the facility, and the stories I heard of families being separated and detainees being denied critical care.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.gov1d ago(source)

As a cosponsor of the Melt ICE Act, I will continue to advocate for a humane immigration system. And that starts with the defunding and dismantling of this rogue agency.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.gov1d ago(source)

Though ICE refused to answer basic questions throughout the visit, we cannot unhear the heart-wrenching stories about ICE’s cruelty that we heard from those being held at Stewart.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.gov1d ago(source)

As many of detainees held at the ICE processing facility in Cary are being transferred to this facility, it was critical that we understand the conditions and how ICE is treating people in custody.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.gov1d ago(source)

Yesterday, I joined @jayapal.house.gov, @ross.house.gov, @repnikema.bsky.social, and @hankjohnson.house.gov for an oversight visit of the Stewart Detention Center in Georgia.

Today, I and Reps. Johnson, Williams, Foushee, and Ross, conducted oversight at the Stewart Detention Center. ICE is already putting out lies about that visit. Read our full statement.

Stewart Detention Center is one of the worst in the country. Today, we’re conducting congressional oversight and calling for an end to the inhumanity happening at the private, for-profit facilities like this across the country.

Whether you’re a veteran waiting on benefits, a senior needing help with Social Security, or someone who just needs to get a passport in time before a trip, we are here to help.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.gov2d ago(source)

In Congress, my top priority is serving the people of North Carolina’s Fourth District. With federal delays, my office can cut through the red tape.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.gov3d ago(source)

I had the pleasure of meeting with @bread4theworld.bsky.social to discuss how Congress can take steps to end hunger across the nation. Access to food is a human right and I will continue to fight back against cuts to food assistance programs to ensure that every family can put food on the table.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.gov6d ago(source)

Israel's genocide continues to claim the lives of civilians and is leading to the destruction of critical medical facilities in Gaza. Congress has a duty to take steps to ensure that our taxpayer dollars are not contributing to this crisis in any way.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.gov6d ago(source)

I am deeply concerned about reports that cancer patients in Gaza are dying at two-to-three times the prewar rate. Preventing civilians living with this disease from traveling for treatment is a matter of human rights. www.reuters.com/business/hea...

I continue to call on Congress to pass the Melt ICE Act to strip ICE of its authority to detain and surveil. This bill will deal a crushing blow to ICE while rerouting funding to our communities—Congress must take it up immediately.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee@foushee.house.gov6d ago(source)

ICE’s plans to give its agents electrical shock gloves is another disgusting step towards fully militarizing this agency. It further demonstrates that this agency is not compatible with democracy and must be dismantled entirely. www.cnn.com/2026/08/12/u...

I’m proud to share that my office has helped return over $6 million to residents of #NC04 through casework! As always, if you are having issues with a federal agency, don’t hesitate to give my office a call at 919-967-7924 for assistance.
