My bill would repeal parts of the Alien Registration Act that Trump is trying to use, blocking his ability to force immigrants to register with the government.
We’ve seen this script before. It’s racist, xenophobic, and a waste of resources. Let’s stop it.

Yes, there are many undocumented immigrants currently residing in the United States.
It is also true that the average undocumented immigrant has been in America for 16 years — working and contributing to our economy and our communities. They have jobs and families. They pay taxes.
Think about times in history where authoritarian leaders have tried to force communities they don’t like to sign up for a list and self-identify. It doesn’t end well.
This is incredibly dangerous.
This law was also used after 9/11, putting 13,000 people from Muslim-majority, Arab, African, and South Asian countries into deportation proceedings.
It resulted in zero terrorism convictions and was later called inefficient and a waste of resources by Homeland Security.
The Alien Registration Act of 1940 was used for the inhumane imprisonment of more than 120,000 people of Japanese descent in concentration camps across the U.S. during WWII.
Trump is following in those footsteps.
NEW: Trump is trying to use a long-dormant immigration law associated with the most shameful periods of US history to force undocumented people to register, making it easier to carry out his mass deportations.
I’ll be introducing legislation to stop him.
Let me explain.🧵
Funding the government is a bipartisan process — both sides come together, negotiate spending levels, and pass a bill.
Instead, Republicans have decided to pass partisan legislation that includes devastating cuts.
Democrats won’t be complicit in hurting working people.
Trump, Elon, and Republicans are killing two birds with one stone.
The only problem is that the two birds are American farmers and hungry kids. www.politico.com/news/2025/03...
JD Vance told House Republicans yesterday that Republicans will take the blame for a government shutdown.
I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I agree with JD Vance. If there is a shutdown, it’s on Republicans.
Republicans’ partisan spending bill does two things:
1. It slashes billions from veterans’ health care, cuts food and rental assistance, and jeopardizes Social Security
2. It also gives a blank check to Trump and Elon to continue dismantling our government
That’s why I voted NO.
The stock market is in free fall, inflation is still rising…
and Donald Trump spent his afternoon giving a PR boost to Elon Musk’s car company.
Trump and Elon Musk are firing thousands of Education Department workers — the agency that distributes funding to high-poverty schools.
Republicans are cutting off education from poor kids, all so they can pass a giant tax cut for billionaires.
www.cnn.com/2025/03/11/p...
Republicans just passed their slush fund to allow Trump and Elon Musk to keep ripping apart vital federal programs.
Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, veterans’ health care, food and rental assistance, you name it.
They’re taking a chainsaw to everything our communities rely on.
The Constitution gives the power of the purse to Congress — not the President, and definitely not an unelected billionaire.
This Republican spending bill hands over the keys to Trump and Musk, completely disregarding our Constitution.
This Republican spending bill would give Trump and Elon Musk unchecked power to continue taking a chainsaw to our government — threatening cuts to Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, and so much more.
This bill is a bad deal for Americans. I will be voting NO.
In an hour, Republicans will bring their spending bill up for a vote.
It cuts funding from veterans’ health care, jeopardizes Social Security, and could evict 32,000 families from their homes.
Democrats won’t be complicit in making life harder for Americans. I’ll be voting NO.
NEW: I just led 27 House members in demanding answers from the Trump administration on its treatment of immigrants.
It’s completely unacceptable that the admin is detaining immigrants in inhumane facilities, including one slated to be closed due to rampant sexual abuse.
This Republican spending bill is a slush fund for Trump and Elon Musk to keep dismantling the programs we rely on like Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid.
Democrats won’t give them a blank check to destroy America. I’m voting NO.
Republicans’ spending bill includes a giant cut to rental assistance — which would mean 32,000 American families facing eviction.
Democrats won’t be complicit as Republicans cut funding for programs people rely on, and we refuse to give Elon Musk a blank check to destroy America.
