Another video of an ICE murder and another statement from ICE leaving us wondering what’s true. It shouldn’t be this way. Abolish ICE and hold Trump’s thugs accountable.

ICE OFFICER FATALLY SHOOTS MEXICAN MAN IN HOUSTON DURING TRAFFIC STOP
I am saddened by the passing of Tibetan activist Lobga Ranzen, and my deepest condolences go out to the Tibetan community. China’s ethnic unity law is a tool for targeting the identity of Tibetans and other minorities. I will continue to fight for the freedom of Tibetans and all minority groups.
Today, I wrote with @warren.senate.gov to four federal agencies for possible federal assistance following the sewage break into the Merrimack River. I will continue working closely with @massgovernor.bsky.social and state and local officials to support the Merrimack Valley and the North Shore.

No answer is an answer. Both @frost.house.gov & I wrote to ICE on their alleged “domestic terrorist” database used to track protestors and were sent different answers evading the truth. Surveilling Americans for lawfully protesting is unacceptable. ICE must answer our questions.

On the 250th anniversary of America’s independence, we reaffirm our core values of dignity & justice by standing with immigrant communities. My resolution with @ramirez.house.gov reasserts our commitment that those yearning to be free find refuge & that freedom belongs to everyone.
Donald Trump jacked up plane prices with his war in Iran and now is making it easier for airlines to charge consumers hidden junk fees all just in time for holiday travel. Trump’s DOT continues to fulfill the airline industry’s wish list while selling out the traveling family.

Trump's DOT Moves to roll back obama era airfare marketing rule
I'm working with state and local officials to address the wastewater overflow in the Merrimack River. Our communities can't shoulder this alone—that’s why Congress must pass my request for a robust water bill with billions of additional dollars for water and sewer infrastructure.
The EPA proposed a rule that would convert clean air safeguards into a fast-track for data centers and fossil fuel plants. EPA’s duty is to protect Americans from pollution, not to shield corporations from accountability. The agency must withdraw this rule.
Today, the Supreme Court reaffirmed a fundamental promise of the 14th Amendment: if you're born in the United States, you're an American citizen. We have, and always will be, a nation of immigrants. Today we celebrate. Tomorrow, we keep fighting to protect our democracy.
Today, the far-right Supreme Court again cleared the way for Trump and MAGA Republicans to discriminate against the trans community. This decision tears trans athletes from their teams and the sports they love. We will keep fighting. Discrimination and hate will not win.
I will continue to fight alongside my partner @pressley.house.gov in this fight for TPS as we push the Senate to act. We won’t stop until we protect all TPS holders.
The implications of the SCOTUS ruling to allow TPS termination are nothing short of catastrophic. Seniors will lose their caregivers. Business owners will lose their staff. And children will lose their classmates. This fight is not over. The Senate must act.
