ICE isn’t going after violent criminals; instead, they’re arresting people at their green card interviews who are trying their best to go through the legal process. That’s why Rep. Juan Vargas, Rep. Mike Levin, and I are pushing for answers about this policy.

San Diego members of Congress question ICE arrests in green card interviews

Three members of Congress sent a letter to Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem Thursday with several questions and “deep concern” over ICE arrests during green card interviews in San Diego.

Congress STILL hasn’t passed an extension for the ACA enhanced premium tax credits. Without immediate action, so many vulnerable people will be kicked off their care in 2026. People’s lives are on the line. Why are Republicans ignoring this?

Millions could go without health care coverage in 2026. Here’s why.

Millions of Americans will need to decide between paying skyrocketing health care premiums or going without coverage in 2026 if Congress doesn't act.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govNov 25(source)

As one of the richest Members of Congress, if I can co-sponsor the bipartisan Restore Trust in Congress Act to ban Members of Congress (and their families) from owning and trading individual stocks, then every Member should too. Let’s pass this bill!

Trump might be sick of talking about affordability, but this is our reality.

Looming affordability crisis set to hit Americans with health insurance through work

It’s a perilous combination for 165 million people with employer-sponsored health insurance. Premiums are rising, while yearly pay raises shrink.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govNov 24(source)

Terrorizing babies and children isn’t law enforcement – it’s a moral failure. ICE isn’t going after criminals; they’re targeting your neighbors and friends.

Charlotte nonprofit for children closes amid Border Patrol presence

ourBRIDGE for KIDS is a nonprofit providing afterschool programming for refugee and immigrants students.

Quality, free public education is a right in this country. Our education system is far from perfect, but dismantling the Department of Education from within will widen those gaps and deeply hurt the next generation. Oh, and this is illegal.

Education Department to begin transferring offices to other agencies in move toward dismantling it

Department of Education to announce agreement to transfer multiple offices to other agencies, marking a major step towards dismantling the nearly 50-year-old agency.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govNov 24(source)

ICE is terrorizing our communities and even sweeping up U.S. citizens and green card holders. They’re not targeting violent criminals. They’re targeting anyone who looks like an immigrant. ICE is making all of us less safe.

U.S. citizens caught in Trump's immigration dragnet

As President Trump expands his aggressive immigration crackdown to major cities across the country, U.S. citizens and legal permanent residents have been detained or arrested, sometimes held for days.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govNov 24(source)

Senate Republicans passed a provision that would allow Senators involved in the January 6th investigation to SUE the government for $500,000 EACH. House Dems led and passed a bill to repeal it. But Senator Lindsey Graham has chosen THIS of all things to take a stand on and blocked it. Typical.

Lindsey Graham blocks House-passed bill to repeal shutdown deal provision allowing $500,000 lawsuits from senators

Sen. Lindsey Graham blocked a Democrat-led effort to approve a House-passed measure to repeal a controversial provision that allows senators to sue for $500,000 if federal investigators search their p...

Child care is more expensive than rent in cities all across this country. It’s making life unaffordable for so many young families. Congress needs to do a lot more to bring down the cost of child care AND ensure providers are making a living wage.

Child care expenses top the cost of rent in dozens of U.S. cities, analysis finds. See where.

In some metro areas, child care expenses amount to more than double what families spend on rent, LendingTree found.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govNov 23(source)

DHS is spending billions of dollars ripping families apart and disappearing hardworking people from our streets instead of things like combating child abuse, trafficking, and terrorism.

Homeland Security Missions Falter Amid Focus on Deportations

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govNov 22(source)

This lawyer was right: these strikes in the Caribbean violate U.S. and international law. These illegal strikes WILL make Americans less safe – by creating made-for-TV propaganda for our adversaries and by making our allies less likely to work with us.

Top military lawyer raised legal concerns about boat strikes

The lawyer at U.S. Southern Command, which oversees the operations against alleged drug-smuggling boats near Venezuela, disagreed that the strikes are legal and was overruled, according to six sources...

I’m furious and heartbroken that soldiers were violated at the Army OB/GYN for years. They, like so many others, were laughed at, dismissed, and retraumatized. They deserve justice and a thorough investigation – and Congress will be watching.

Army investigates OBGYN accused of abusing, secretly filming women

A Texas Army OBGYN is under investigation as he faces accusations of sexually exploiting dozens of women.

Trump’s tariffs, rising health insurance costs, and overall high prices are hitting small businesses hard – in San Diego and across the country. Meanwhile, Trump is off golfing, building a ballroom, and schmoozing with billionaires.

‘Everyone is hunkering down.’ Affordability crisis rattles mom-and-pop shops | CNN Business

Surging import costs. Mounting payroll and healthcare expenses. A shortage of affordable loans. And a stressed-out workforce. Small businesses are facing mounting pressure from America’s affordability...

This is indefensible.

U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify swastikas, nooses as hate symbols

The military service, which falls under the Department of Homeland Security, has drafted a new policy that classifies such items “potentially divisive.”

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govNov 20(source)

Will the FBI investigate President Trump's call for the deaths of sitting Democratic lawmakers?

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govNov 20(source)

The health care crisis will get even worse as Trump’s Big Ugly Bill cuts take effect and Republicans in Congress kick millions of people off their health insurance by cutting Medicaid and letting ACA premium tax credits expire. We’re going in the wrong direction.

Nearly half of Americans worry they can't afford health care: Survey

Health care affordability will loom large over the midterm elections.

Donald Trump just signed the Epstein Files Transparency Act into law — but what happens next?

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govNov 19(source)

Head Start is critical for our community. But the Trump Administration -- that tried to defund Head Start earlier in the year with the preliminary budget -- is now refusing to acknowledge the rise in inflation that has put the program in danger.

San Diego County Head Start cut services amid flat federal funding

The program provides free child care, meals and health care for thousands of local kids.

The Trump Administration’s repeated attacks on trans Americans are cruel and blatantly discriminatory, and this new passport rule is no exception.

New Passport Rule Sends Blunt and Sweeping Message to Trans Americans

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govNov 19(source)

The pain millions of Americans felt during the government shutdown after Trump illegally withheld SNAP benefits was sadly just a preview of what’s coming over the next few months. Trump’s Big Ugly Bill made the biggest cuts to SNAP in history. He’s creating a hunger crisis.

Food stamps are back, but millions will soon lose benefits permanently

Even though the shutdown is over, the GOP’s signature tax and spending law is poised to kick people off the nation’s largest anti-hunger program.
