Immigrants who are afraid that local law enforcement will turn them over to ICE are less likely to report crimes or serve as witnesses. This is why local policies that distinguish federal civil immigration law from local criminal law enforcement are important and keep us all safe.
Republicans held a hearing to attack communities that want everyone to feel safe calling 911 and reporting crimes. Let's set the record straight: It's this administration's mass deportation campaign and lawless ICE that make us less safe.
Has there ever been legislation introduced in the US to adopt Sharia law? No. Does Sharia law require Muslims to violate US laws? No. Are there any US courts that follow Sharia law? No. Despite all this, Republicans held another hearing to promote their islamophobia. Disgusting.
Today, I supported a resolution to reaffirm the US-Korea Alliance. South Korea is a critical democratic and economic partner, especially to the Greater Seattle Area, and Korean Americans have helped to shape our communities.
Americans are getting nickel-and-dimed by greedy corporations in almost every purchase they make – and even in kids’ sports. I’m supporting the Let Kids Play Act to get the private equity and corporate investors that are driving up costs out of kids' sports, and ensure that ALL kids can play.
GOOD NEWS: My resolution to call for an end to the humanitarian crisis in Sudan just PASSED with bipartisan support in the House Foreign Affairs Committee. The people of Sudan deserve safety and security — America must do everything we can to stop this conflict.
The ongoing civil war in Sudan is one of the worst humanitarian crises the world has ever seen – more than 400,000 people have been killed, over 14 million forcibly displaced, and there is catastrophic hunger. I’m calling on my colleagues to act urgently to end this war.
Instead of addressing the systematic dilution of the Black vote or Trump’s unconstitutional war, Republicans held another anti-Muslim hearing to distract from Trump’s disregard for the Constitution. I will take no part in this bigotry.
The data is clear: The mass deportation and incarceration of immigrants does not make communities safer. DHS has deported victims and witnesses before trials are completed, and immigrants are afraid to report crimes and help law enforcement. This makes us all less safe.
@raskin.house.gov released a new staff report revealing how the Trump Administration’s mass deportation policies are interfering with criminal prosecutions across the country, allowing perpetrators to evade accountability while depriving victims and their families of justice.
I visited the UW Cancer Vaccine Institute, which is doing groundbreaking research aiming to develop vaccines to prevent multiple types of cancer. This work will save lives — and it is an example of exactly why we must protect federal funding for science and research.
