Chris Van Hollen is an American politician serving as the junior United States senator from Maryland since January 3, 2017. A member of the Democratic Party, he previously represented Maryland's 8th congressional district in the U.S. House of Representatives from January 3, 2003, to January 3, 2017.

There are already reports that ICE is planning to target Haitian TPS holders for deportation as soon as this week, which would force hundreds of thousands of people to return to a country that our State Department warns is unsafe for…
The Supreme Court decision does not have to be the end of the story.
In other words, the Trump administration would force people back to a country where the State Department says, ‘Don’t go there because it’s unsafe.’
That decision puts them and other TPS holders at risk of deportation to countries where violence, instability, and humanitarian crises continue to threaten their lives.
The Supreme Court’s refusal to adopt an enforceable code of ethics has contributed to a decline in public trust of this vital institution. If the Court won’t act, Congress must.

I write in the spirit of that commitment and the Supreme Court’s responsibility to avoid both impropriety and the appearance of impropriety to encourage you to take action that will bolster public trust.
Let us stop pretending that Congress has no role to play while American service members remain in harm’s way.

At a time when many federal employees already fear retaliation for reporting wrongdoing, the proposed NDA risks further chilling lawful disclosures and undermining the transparency and accountability that Congress depends upon.
This senseless war should never have been started and it needs to end NOW.
The thing about this senseless war is that there never has been a plan.
And right now in the Gulf, what we're seeing is our country's hurting. Countries in the region are hurting.
We need those people on the ground every day, listening to foreign countries, advising, you know, the administration on what course of action to take.
When a U.S. strike kills civilians, the Department owes Congress, the American people, and the victims’ families a clear accounting of what happened and a credible plan to prevent future failures.
More than four months after the strike, and after the reported submission of the investigation in April, Congress and the American people still have not received the Department’s investigation and findings.
As the Trump administration attacks clean energy, blocking opportunities for good-paying jobs and raising Americans’ electric bills, we must push back. We need solutions that meet the moment and promote competitive U.S. clean energy…
