    In a span of 3 weeks, both Felipe Alonzo-Gomez and Jakelin Caal Maquin died while in CBP custody. Let’s be clear: this is a crisis created by President Trump’s zero tolerance policy. These are children — we have a responsibility to keep them safe.

    We are very saddened to learn of the death of another child in U.S. custody. We must focus on the wellbeing of these children above any other concern.

    Another tragic death in CBP custody just reinforces the need for the IG to investigate conditions in CBP’s short-term holding facilities, and of course the general suitability of such facilities for families, given that Border Patrol stations were never designed to hold children.

    Because of the , millions of survivors who rely on programs funded by the Violence Against Women Act will not have the resources they need to stay safe right before the holidays. Shame on this President.

    To recap, in the past 48 hours, Trump has pushed us to the brink of a government shutdown, had his Secretary of Defense resign, and abruptly changed the direction of our Syria policy via Twitter, without consulting his aides or cabinet. This is a White House in chaos.

    When I was a teenager, my dad lost his job and my family relied on food stamps to survive. This unilateral and unjustified move by the Trump Administration won't help anyone escape poverty. It puts vulnerable Americans, including thousands of Veterans, at risk of going hungry.

    Roughly 755,000 people would lose food stamp benefits if the USDA's new proposal to expand work requirements for those in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program is approved.

    Just in time for the holidays, President Trump announces a new plan to kick 750,000+ people off of food stamps. Americans will go hungry because of this. It’s mean-spirited and counterproductive.

    While I agree we must bring home our troops as soon as possible, there is no plan in place to address the humanitarian disaster in Syria or advance negotiated peace. We MUST end these unauthorized wars, but the manner in which we do it matters.

    One thing is clear from this saga: President Trump doesn’t want a deal, he wants a shutdown. This isn’t just childish – it’s costly for our economy and unfair to the millions of federal workers who could be furloughed over the holidays.

    I’ve long called for the end of military operations in Syria and a withdrawal of troops & I will keep working to bring these endless wars to a close. However, as we bring our troops home, we must redouble our diplomatic efforts to broker peace in the region. Full statement:

    Instead of protecting students, Betsy DeVos’s Education Dept is trying to roll back students’ civil rights. This report will do nothing but further discriminate against students of color and increase the racial disparities in school discipline.

    I am relieved that the State Dept has granted a visa waiver to Shaima Swileh to be with her son. Thank you to everyone who fought for this outcome. But so many families are still torn apart by the heinous travel ban. We can’t stop until we end this un-American policy for good.
