Trump wants ICE to keep killing people.

Rep. Jim McGovern@repmcgovern.bsky.socialJul 15(source)

A young dad with a toddler in the backseat. A father of 3 on his way to work. A mom who had dropped her 6-year-old son off at school. A VA nurse helping a woman pushed down by masked federal agents. Enough is enough. Abolish ICE.

Rep. Jim McGovern@repmcgovern.bsky.socialJul 15(source)

Washington lets billionaires write the tax code. Republicans give them one blank check after another without a care in the world. But when it comes to funding our veterans’ hard-earned benefits, MAGA starts pinching pennies. Enough already!

Rep. Jim McGovern@repmcgovern.bsky.socialJul 15(source)

What the hell does this have to do with the State Department?

Rep. Jim McGovern@repmcgovern.bsky.socialJul 15(source)

Another day in America, another father, mother, son, or daughter shot and killed by ICE—a result of the nearly unlimited funding signed into law by Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans.

Rep. Jim McGovern@repmcgovern.bsky.socialJul 14(source)

Guess I hurt his feelings

Rep. Jim McGovern@repmcgovern.bsky.socialJul 14(source)

Susan Collins voted to supercharge ICE funding, and the best she can do is politely call the DHS Secretary and ask him to stop killing her own constituents.

Rep. Jim McGovern@repmcgovern.bsky.socialJul 14(source)

VFW, our nation’s top veteran advocacy group, called out MAGA for trying to cut veterans benefits for disabled veterans. The response from House Republicans has been one of the most disgraceful and cowardly things I’ve ever seen.

Rep. Jim McGovern@repmcgovern.bsky.socialJul 14(source)

The International Criminal Court exists to provide justice to victims when countries can’t or won’t. By trying to destroy it, Trump and Rubio seek to give themselves—alongside Putin, Netanyahu, Maduro, annd other human rights abusers—impunity for war crimes committed under their orders.

Rep. Jim McGovern@repmcgovern.bsky.socialJul 13(source)

You just voted to give these thugs another $70 Billion. You’re complicit in this and every other murder committed by Trump’s secret police.

Rep. Jim McGovern@repmcgovern.bsky.socialJul 13(source)

You mean like when you discussed war plans in your easily-hackable Signal group chat?

Rep. Jim McGovern@repmcgovern.bsky.socialJul 13(source)

By the way—we’re still waiting on that refund for Trump’s illegal tariffs.

Rep. Jim McGovern@repmcgovern.bsky.socialJul 10(source)

I am leading 80 Members of Congress urging Secretary Mullin to extend protections for Salvadoran TPS holders. Ending TPS for El Salvador would hurt our economy, tear apart families, and send 200,000 lawfully present Salvadorans back to a country where they face potential human rights abuses.

Press Releases | Congressman Jim McGovern

Rep. Jim McGovern@repmcgovern.bsky.socialJul 10(source)

At a packed town hall in Racine, Wisconsin this week hosted by @WeAct4progress.bsky.social talking about how to build a better future. Folks are sick of a status quo built for billionaires & corporate greed. If Republicans are too afraid to listen to their constituents—we’ll do their job for them.

Rep. Jim McGovern@repmcgovern.bsky.socialJul 10(source)

ICE is using the same playbook of lies & propaganda for Lorenzo Salgado Araujo as it did for Renee Goode & Alex Pretti. I support the demands of the Salgado family for a full & transparent investigation. You are not alone and we will stand with you to demand justice & accountability.

Thanks, @repmcgovern.bsky.social, for cosponsoring the LIFT the BAR Act, urgent and important legislation to lower barriers to health and economic security for millions in immigrant families. Massachusetts organizations can support this critical reform at pifcoalition.org.

Rep. Jim McGovern@repmcgovern.bsky.socialJul 10(source)

People know the status quo has failed them time and time again. Big change is coming.

Rep. Jim McGovern@repmcgovern.bsky.socialJul 10(source)

Still the wrong files.

Rep. Jim McGovern@repmcgovern.bsky.socialJul 10(source)

These days, it’s incredibly rare for Washington to do anything that helps people. This bipartisan affordable housing bill is one of the few very rare exceptions, but Trump won’t sign it unless Congress lets him rig the midterm elections. He’s ALWAYS putting himself above the American People.

Republicans gave these thugs a $170 BILLION slush fund to keep doing this shit. Abolish ICE NOW!
