let me summarize how we got here: Department of Homeland Security immigration agents killed two American citizens in Minneapolis. and Democrats demanded accountability from the Trump administration. Instead of working with Democrats to…

Mr. Speaker, after 40 days of this Republican shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security, this symbolic resolution is all that my colleagues on the other side of the aisle have. Let's be clear: We are here today because Republicans…

Mr. Speaker, this shutdown is a result of Republican's failure to govern. Democrats have been at the negotiating table for weeks, and the American people are demanding accountability and reform for ICE and CBP. We cannot forget that two…

I want to help my colleague out on the other side. Everybody in this country knows that Donald Trump is running everything. Nothing happens in Washington without Donald Trump's approval. Legislation is not passed unless he agrees with it…

Republican failures have shut down the Department of Homeland Security for more than 40 days. Before this Republican shutdown, the Trump administration did its dead level best to hollow out the Department and make America less safe. At…

there you have it. House Republicans have an hour to debate a nonbinding symbolic resolution but not even a few seconds to do the job that would actually pay our DHS workers. This is the Republican DHS shutdown.

These nitwits are at it again.

Mr. Speaker, Congress must not give ICE or CBP another dollar while they are killing Americans in our streets. We must protect our communities by demanding real change first. This is what our constituents elected us to do. As a starting…

At a time when DHS is rightly warning about an elevated threat environment from terrorists and cartels, we should be focused on plugging security gaps rather than senselessly creating new ones.

Mr. Speaker, Republicans are openly bragging about how the bill kicks children and the elderly off Medicaid, nutritional assistance, and more, all to pay for another tax break for wealthy Republican donors. My Republican colleagues are not…

essentially turning them into 'jails,' which the Mississippi Democrat says would constitute a misuse of the facilities.

If ICE has nothing to hide, DHS must make its facilities available.

This unlawful policy is a smokescreen to deny Member visits to ICE offices across the country, which are holding migrants – and sometimes even U.S. citizens – for days at a time.

Whether it's the Capitol on January 6 or Los Angeles this weekend, it's clear Trump is totally fine with lighting the match to stoke violence if he thinks it'll help him politically.

Suffice to say, disaster response is no joke.

we are here in the dark of night because President Trump has one goal: to pass massive tax cuts for billionaires by cruelly stealing healthcare away from millions of Americans. H.R. 1, the ``One Big Ugly Bill,'' isn't about securing the…

It should go without saying that administration officials should not be using Signal for discussing intelligence matters reserved for the situation room — not to mention doing so incompetently by including members of the public.

That kind of talent, you just don't find it every day.

Since the Biden Administration provided pay increases and a new collective bargaining contract to the workforce, TSA's attrition rates have plummeted.

The department was using flat out wrong anti-union talking points.

The department was using 'flat out wrong anti-union talking points.'

Attempting to negate [TSA workers'] legally binding collective bargaining agreement now makes zero sense – it will only reduce morale and hamper the workforce.

The real aim was 'diminishing' the workforce so 'they can transform it in the mold of Project 2025.'

I am joined by my colleagues from Mississippi mourning the tragic loss of Mississippi's Hinds County Deputy Sheriff Martin Shields, Jr., a dedicated public servant who gave his life in the line of duty late Sunday night while responding to…
