Not enough. Trump's DHS has terrorized our communities and murdered innocent people like Renee Good and Alex Pretti. From Bovino to Noem, everyone involved needs to be held accountable.

Top Border Patrol official Gregory Bovino, who led controversial immigration sweeps in Democratic-led cities, has told people he plans to retire at the end of the month, according to two sources familiar with the discussions. https://cnn.it/4ryo8JW

DOGE was a disaster from day one. Now, a new whistleblower report is alleging that a DOGE employee stored the private information of 500M+ Americans onto a personal thumb drive and planned to give it to their private employer. Unacceptable and needs a full investigation.

Whistleblower claims ex-DOGE member says he took Social Security data to new job

The Social Security inspector general’s office is investigating allegations that the former DOGE engineer took sensitive data on a thumb drive in a major potential security breach, said people familia...

Laws already limit assistance to U.S. citizens and eligible non-citizens, so partial rental assistance covers only the eligible family members. This cruel rule would separate families with mixed immigration status and evict them from the major housing programs. Read more here:

Rep. Juan Vargas, Colleagues Urge HUD Secretary Turner to Withdraw Cruel Rule Targeting Mixed-Status Families

WASHINGTON - Today, U.S. Representatives Juan Vargas (D-CA), Maxine Waters (D-CA), Nydia M. Velázquez (D-NY), and Sylvia Garcia (D-TX) submitted a comment letter to U.S.

Congressman Juan Vargas@vargas.house.govMar 11(source)

I joined my colleagues in calling on HUD to immediately withdraw their proposed rule to end longstanding prorated assistance for families of mixed immigration status.

Congressman Juan Vargas@vargas.house.govMar 5(source)

Kristi Noem has been a total disaster at DHS. I called for her to be impeached or step down. She’s been fired, but her replacement cannot be more of the same. ICE's violence and chaos must end.

Congressman Juan Vargas@vargas.house.govMar 3(source)

A federal judge just ruled – yet again – that it's unlawful for Trump and Kristi Noem to block Members of Congress from conducting unannounced oversight visits to ICE facilities. I'm glad to see this decision and I'll continue to hold this Administration accountable.

Federal judge nixes latest policy requiring 7 days' notice for members of Congress to visit ICE facilities

U.S. District Judge Jia Cobb ruled that a group of Democratic lawmakers is likely to succeed in showing that the requirement is illegal and exceeds the government's statutory authority.

Congressman Juan Vargas@vargas.house.govFeb 25(source)

We need to be fighting back against his dangerous policies, not applauding them.

Congressman Juan Vargas@vargas.house.govFeb 25(source)

ICE is terrorizing our communities. Families are struggling to make ends meet while billionaires get tax breaks. Health care has been gutted. Instead of addressing any of that last night, the President chose to lie over and over again and fuel division.

FACT FOCUS: A look at Trump's false and misleading claims in his State of the Union speech

On inflation, immigration, tariffs and war, he presented a frequently distorted account as he claimed a “turnaround for the ages” and myriad achievements that don’t pass scrutiny.

Trump violated the Constitution and made life more expensive for families across the nation in the process. It’s time for Trump to drop his disastrous economic policies and actually address the affordability crisis he's fueled. 2/2

This is exactly what we've been saying from the beginning - Trump's tariffs were absolutely illegal. Authority to impose tariffs rests solely with Congress, not the President. 1/2

Ramadan Mubarak to all those observing in California's 52nd Congressional District and across the country. May this holy month bring you and your loved ones peace, hope, and renewal.

Disgusting bigotry. This kind of hate has no place in Congress, or anywhere else. Shame on Randy Fine, and shame on my Republican colleagues who have continued to stay silent on this.

Congressman Juan Vargas@vargas.house.govFeb 17(source)

Deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Rev. Jesse Jackson–a giant of the Civil Rights Movement who dedicated his life to fighting for justice and equality for all. His legacy will live on for generations to come. I'm praying for his loved ones, including my colleague @jonathanjackson.house.gov.

Jesse Jackson, towering icon of civil rights, dies following lengthy illness

In a decades-long effort, Jesse Jackson stood alongside MLK, pushed for voting rights, shamed corporations and negotiated with world leaders.
