I just filed a Supreme Court amicus brief to defend TPS with @pressley.house.gov, @markey.senate.gov, @vanhollen.senate.gov & 180+ Congressional Democrats. l'll always fight to protect law-abiding, hard-working immigrant families from being ripped apart or sent back to dangerous conditions.

I know it’s difficult to feel hopeful in these challenging times but visiting Pastor Yeison after his release from Delaney did just that. Grateful that he is home safe with his family & congregation but he should have never been there in the first place. The work continues & we will never relent.

On #YomHaShoah, we honor the memory of the six million Jews murdered in the Holocaust. We must continue to combat antisemitism wherever we see it and vow to #NeverAgain allow such hatred to take root or become normalized.
