    More than half of Americans said increasing funding for Trump’s border wall wasn’t worth a . needs to give up & let Congress reopen the government. We have 420,000 federal employees working w/out pay. A deal was & still is on the table to end this.

    Another child dies under this Administration’s watch. Such a devastating story to hear on Christmas Day. My heart is with the family of this little boy who lost their son.

    America’s hardworking federal employees do the people’s work. They work hard to pay rent, buy a couple of Christmas gifts for their kids, & put food on the table. This is about politics for Trump, not families just trying to celebrate the holidays with loved ones.

    Trump's words: “I am proud to shut down the government.” In other words, he's “proud” to harm our economy and Americans' paychecks -- “proud” to cause hard-working families misery right before the holidays.

    Seeking asylum at our ports of entry is legal. Trump's attempt to discriminate against migrants seeking asylum at our southern border will not be tolerated. Good to see the Supreme Court refuse to restore Trump's asylum ban.

    BREAKING: The Supreme Court won't let the Trump administration enforce a ban on asylum for any immigrants who illegally cross the U.S.-Mexico border.

    Bottom line if there’s a partial government shutdown: 800,000 federal workers won’t get paychecks during this Christmas season.

    Speaking w/ about the looming shutdown. Trump is actively putting the wants of right-wing extremists from Fox news ahead of what the vast majority of Americans want. He has no spine, and clearly no respect for the 400,000 federal workers that will be directly impacted.

    This is great news! 181 veterans in our community now have a place they can call home. We need to keep working together to ensure our veterans have the resources they deserve after serving their country.

    Republicans just proved how ineffective their party has become. They are letting Trump’s border wall come before their own federal workers. While Democrats just voted to keep the gov't open, Republicans voted to shut it down. These are the faces of a GOP shutdown.

    The First Step will change outdated laws that contribute to mass incarceration, including: -lowering mandatory minimum sentences for drug offenses -eliminating the life-behind-bars “three strikes” law -ending stacking of sentencing that disproportionally affects people of color.

    This bill ends juvenile incarceration in solitary confinement and provides grants to improve drug treatment for offenders. Also, it will ensure parents are placed within 500 miles of their kids. These are important steps to create a more empathetic criminal justice system.

    The FIRST STEP ACT is a prime example of what we can accomplish when we come together to solve a pressing problem. This bill will address much needed reforms in our criminal justice system, including ways to end mass incarceration and prison overcrowding.

    Adhering to current law w/ this new notification policy must continue here on out so Congress can determine what happened, & how we can work to address it. Commissioner McAleenan shared this update with our delegation yesterday, admitting it was a gap in their internal procedure.

    Lo que vimos en Lordsburg es una clara falta de atención médica y recursos. Preguntar si está "bien" no es un examen médico. Un baño en una habitación sin puerta es inaceptable. La salud de las personas bajo nuestra custodia debe y será una prioridad.

    At our briefing w/ Commissioner McAleenan, I asked why CBP took a week to report Jakelin’s death, a breach in the law that requires it be shared in 24 hrs. CBP admitted it was a gap in their policy and have revised their internal procedures to be shared in a letter to Congress.
