THURSDAY: I’m hosting a resource fair with the City of Seattle to get assistance to federal workers who have been impacted by the Republican Shutdown. Come to get resources from state and local government as well as a variety of organizations, and please bring any neighbors who have been impacted!

What is a shadow hearing? This is a way for us to conduct the oversight that Republicans are trying to block in official hearings — like raising the alarm on Trump’s lawless immigration actions. Here’s my breakdown:

Bob Reiter, President of the Chicago Federation of Labor, walks us through the devastating economic implications of ICE’s crackdown in Chicago. Listen here:

Today, thousands of air traffic controllers missed their first full paycheck since Republicans shut down the government. These workers are showing up, and keeping us safe every single day. Republicans must come to the table to end this shutdown and ensure hardworking Americans get paid.

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govOct 28(source)

Republicans know they’re responsible for this shutdown, so they’re returning to their old playbook — blaming trans people and immigrants. It’s not immigrants or trans kids who shut the government down, it’s Trump and Republicans. Don’t let them distract you.

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govOct 28(source)

1 in 4 kids rely on SNAP food assistance benefits. Those children will go hungry this November because Republicans shut down the government and Trump refuses to use contingency funds to keep this program running.

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govOct 28(source)

We're on day 28 of the Republican shutdown. Yet, House Republicans are STILL on vacation, even as 3 million Floridians, 3 million Texans, and millions more, in red and blue states, will lose their food assistance next week. It's time to come to the table and end this shutdown.

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govOct 28(source)

Pastor David Black was attacked by ICE while praying for immigrants. During our shadow hearing in Chicago, he shared his story, his fight, and his demand that we all continue to work to protect immigrant communities.

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govOct 27(source)

Republicans have handed over their Congressional authority to Trump, and he is taking that blank check to kill people in the Caribbean. This is not only unconstitutional, it is a moral stain on our country.

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govOct 27(source)

This weekend, I received notice of the 21st death of a person in ICE custody since Trump took office. These mostly private, for-profit detention centers put their profits over people’s health and safety. There must be increased oversight and accountability.

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govOct 27(source)

Today is the 27th day of the Republican Shutdown, and Trump just announced that he will not fund food assistance next month — leaving 42 million Americans to go hungry. He said it himself, he wants to “inflict maximum pain on Americans.”

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govOct 27(source)

I was in Chicago last week with nineteen of my Democratic colleagues to hear directly from people who have been terrorized by ICE. People are being kidnapped off the streets by masked agents. It is unlawful and unacceptable.

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govOct 27(source)

Mike Johnson is handing Congress's constitutional power over to Trump. We are 27 days into this Republican shutdown, and he still refuses to lead or to serve as a check on the executive branch. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/25/u...

Keeping the House Absent, Johnson Marginalizes Congress and Himself

At this week’s shadow hearing in Chicago, we heard from Lawrence Benito, the Executive Director at the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights, about the work he is doing to protect immigrants, and what he has seen from ICE. Listen to his story:

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govOct 26(source)

Thanks to the Republican shutdown, 42 million Americans will lose their food assistance next month. Republicans are hell bent on making Americans poorer, sicker, and hungrier. www.cnn.com/2025/10/24/p...

Trump administration won’t use contingency fund to pay November food stamp benefits | CNN Politics

The US Department of Agriculture says it will not tap into its $6 billion contingency fund to cover food stamp benefits next month, according to an agency memo obtained by CNN. That means that roughly...

Genesis is only 19 years old, but when her mother was kidnapped by ICE, she was left with no choice but to care for her younger sister, pay the family’s bills, and do all this while going to school. We cannot allow ICE to continue tearing families apart.

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govOct 25(source)

In Chicago, we held small business and education roundtables to hear directly from the communities how ramped up ICE action is affecting them. What we heard was heartbreaking, but there were also such incredible stories of resilience, and of folks coming together to take care of their neighbors.

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govOct 25(source)

Today’s shadow hearing in Chicago was heartbreaking, powerful, and yet another reminder of how we must all stand with our immigrant communities as they are terrorized by this administration. chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govOct 25(source)

Today, I hosted the fourth shadow hearing in my series Kidnapped and Disappeared focusing on Trump’s assault on Chicago. We must continue to shine a light on the unlawful and inhumane way this administration is treating immigrants across the country.

“When you undermine the rights and the protections of one group of people you undermine them for every single person." 🎥 Watch @jayapal.house.gov's remarks from the shadow hearing "Kidnapped and Disappeared: Trump’s Assault on Chicago.”
