Painting immigrants as disease threats is a racist, xenophobic trope with a long and shameful history. It’s also used to justify policies that expel & bar immigrants, like the Title 42 policy & another Trump era rule. Both were debunked & condemned by public health experts.

Homicide and crime rates have dropped over the last few decades, but spiked when Donald Trump was President. Trump needs to stop lying about crime rates and demonizing immigrants.

Yes, we have a crisis at our southern border, but we also have a crisis here in Washington. At today’s Homeland Security hearing focused on the consequences of illegal immigration, I stressed the importance, once again, of putting aside partisan rhetoric to secure the border, fix

I partnered with Bennie G. Thompson to manage the impact of Artificial Intelligence on our cybersecurity landscape. We’re proud to introduce the #CISA Securing AI Task Force Act to establish a task force within Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency that addresses safety and security challenges posed by #AI.

Despite good faith efforts to get these done on a bipartisan basis, Republicans keep pushing for harmful policies instead of real solutions. House Democrats are here to work for the people, and we're ready to tackle these challenges with real, effective solutions whenever our

Misinformation fuels hate and puts lives at risk. We must stand united in condemning the false, dangerous, and anti-Haitian rhetoric. Let’s honor their contributions, not vilify them for political gain. #StoptheHate #CondemnHaitianHate

As the grandson of Cuban immigrants and the proud representative of a district where over 40% of our residents were born outside the country, I stand with immigrant communities across our nation. Immigrants are our neighbors, friends, and family—they make America stronger. And

Folks, facts matter. We have to stop the mis- and disinformation. So, I took a couple of minutes to ensure that the data my Republican colleagues use in the House Homeland Security Committee Democrats Committee is accurately portrayed.

Border security means stopping threats before they reach our communities—and my bill would help border officers use cutting-edge tech to identify and intercept drug smugglers and human traffickers. Proud to partner with Congressman Morgan Luttrell to send this bipartisan bill to the Senate.

Vance is still not backing down from the pet-eating claims, even though: - The woman whose post went viral says it wasn't true - The woman whose 911 call went viral found her cat in her basement. - The police say it's not true - Local officials say it's not true - It's not true.

Today at the Homeland Security Subcommittee hearing, we continued our oversight and investigation into CrowdStrike’s July 19 global outage. CrowdStrike is owning up to their mistakes, and working to ensure it never happens again. This Committee will always prioritize the security

Today, Ranking Member Bennie G. Thompson welcomed the newest member of House Homeland Security Committee Democrats, LaMonica McIver of New Jersey. Welcome!

Fentanyl is killing Americans, and we need to do everything we can to stop it from coming into our country. I’m co-leading the CATCH Fentanyl Act, passed today out of House Homeland Security Committee Democrats, to help equip law enforcement with the tools they need to stop fentanyl trafficking.

The racism and xenophobia behind my colleague’s lies is truly sickening. To threaten families who are just trying to get by reeks of a cruelty not seen since America’s darkest years.   This is the modern GOP in action, folks – corrupted by hate, blinded by bigotry. Despicable.

.Rep. Clay Higgins racist and despicable remarks on his official X account were reprehensible and unbecoming of a member of the House of Representatives. I stand behind CBC Chair Rep. Steven Horsford in his condemnation of Rep. Higgins and will join his resolution to censure him.

I am appalled by the racist and reprehensible remarks made by Rep. Clay Higgins about the Haitian people. We all owe each other better than this, but as elected officials we should hold ourselves to an even higher standard. We have a solemn responsibility to represent and respect

What hideous, shameless racism. Republicans in Congress and on the Presidential ticket continue to peddle dangerous lies about our Haitian neighbors. This vile behavior has no place in our politics and no place in America. The GOP is telling us who they are. Believe them.

Border officers are the first-line of protection for refugees and our front-line of defense against narcotics and human trafficking. I'm proud to share that my bill to prep our officers with the highest-quality training passed out of the House Homeland Security Committee today!

It’s not journalism to post this tweet and report “Democrats are outraged.” Journalism is asking every House Republican if they stand with their racist colleague or will they condemn him. And then reporting what is said. Is the media up for that?
