ICE isn’t going after criminals. They went after and deported the father of a U.S. Marine.

Marine dad deported after being detained by ICE at Camp Pendleton, son says

The couple's children told NBC 7 their parents were taken into custody by ICE while trying to visit their pregnant daughter on Camp Pendleton.

THIS is how you fight fascism: refuse to give in, refuse to play a role in state censorship, and refuse to give your leaders a free pass when your job is holding them accountable. I’m proud to see nearly every media outlet reject this loyalty test.

US news outlets reject Pentagon press access policy

At least 20 news organizations declined to sign a new Pentagon access policy for journalists, warning of the potential for less comprehensive coverage of the world’s most powerful military ahead of a Tuesday deadline to accept new restrictions.

Shutdown Day 15: Speaker Mike Johnson is STILL refusing to bring back House Republicans to Congress and negotiate to protect health care for Americans and reopen the government.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govOct 15(source)

This isn’t business-as-usual military action – it’s murder. There was no public evidence, no due process, and no legal justification. Thoughtless action like this is how we wind up in endless wars and how our service members become targets. This is beyond shameful.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govOct 14(source)

If Republicans let this happen, millions of Americans will be priced out of health care and be unable to afford chemo, insulin, heart medication, and more. tcf.org/content/comm...

Today has been a long time coming – I’m so relieved that the Israeli hostages are finally home and that humanitarian aid is finally getting to people in Gaza. I’m hopeful that the ceasefire will continue to hold and that we can begin working toward lasting peace in the region.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govOct 13(source)

Since he took office, President Trump has undermined Native Americans’ rights, sovereignty, sacred lands, funds, and more. As we recognize Indigenous Peoples’ Day, it’s important to understand just how far we have to go to live up to our trust and treaty responsibilities to them.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govOct 12(source)

71% of immigrants detained by ICE have zero criminal convictions. But that’s not stopping private prisons from cashing in on the Trump Administration’s xenophobia – despite their history of horrific treatment of immigrants.

2025 Fiscal Year Among the Deadliest in ICE History for Detained Migrants

Nearly all of ICE’s detention centers are run by privately owned companies and have been criticized for overcrowding and unsanitary living conditions.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govOct 11(source)

This half-baked idea exploits children, tricking them with a few bucks into potentially dangerous situations when they don't fully understand the legal system.

Trump administration offering some unaccompanied migrant children $2,500 to self-deport, according to memo

Immigration and Customs Enforcement said the offer is a “strictly voluntary option to return home to their families.”

Service members, TSA workers, and air traffic controllers are working without pay because Republicans shut down the government. My Republican colleagues in Congress need to come back to DC and vote to protect health care and reopen the government.

Jewish Family Service gives free groceries to federal workers during government shutdown

San Diego nonprofits are preparing for the long haul as the government shutdown enters its sixth day.

So Pete Hegseth is getting gender affirming care while kicking highly qualified, highly trained trans service members out of our military? Got it.

It is ILLEGAL to withhold back pay from federal workers. Trump won’t do his own job but he wants to stiff people who do show up to work.

Furloughed federal workers face threat of no back pay from shutdown, despite 2019 law requiring it

As the federal shutdown stretches on, furloughed federal workers face the threat of not receiving back pay, despite a 2019 law that requires it.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govOct 9(source)

Air traffic controllers and TSA workers are being asked to go to work without guaranteed pay. Meanwhile, President Trump and Republicans are failing to do their jobs and wasting time by refusing to negotiate with Democrats to protect health care and reopen the government.

FAA reports staffing issues at airports as government shutdown continues

No air traffic controllers were expected at the tower at Hollywood Burbank Airport in the Los Angeles area, and the Denver and Newark airports were experiencing delays due to shortages.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govOct 9(source)

Trump’s government shutdown means that right now, our service members are reporting for duty without pay – making it even harder for them to put food on the table. While we work to re-open the government, the San Diego Food Bank is a great resource for anyone needing assistance.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govOct 9(source)

It’s been an agonizing two years so I’m hopeful that this deal will bring all the hostages home, end the atrocities, and lead to an immediate rush of aid into Gaza. Too many lives have been lost already so I urge all parties to uphold this deal so we can end this horrific war.

The New York Times

Israel and Hamas agreed to an exchange of the remaining Israeli hostages in Gaza for Palestinian prisoners, President Trump announced on Wednesday. Here's what we know so far.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govOct 9(source)

All of this because Republicans in Congress don’t want to help millions of Americans keep their health care… Republicans need to come back to the negotiating table so we can end this shutdown ASAP.

I represent San Diego, the biggest military community in the country. If the shutdown continues, our service members will miss their first paycheck on October 15. I’m in D.C. to negotiate to protect health care and reopen the government, but Republicans are refusing to engage.

It’s day 8 of Trump’s Shutdown and there are two things we still haven’t seen here on Capitol Hill: 1. House Republicans 2. The Epstein Files
