My statement on the passing of my very close friend and colleague Dolores Huerta:
Mark my words: Trump's ICE will never use the Golden Bear for mass deportations.
Deporting migrants by ship is impractical, inhumane, and hurts our sealift capacity. Makes no sense at all.
Proud to stand with @carbajal.house.gov in pushing back against this nonsense.

California Democrats Push Back on Reports of Trump Administration Plans to Deport Immigrants by Ship | KQED
Rep. John Garamendi opposes plans to use a maritime training vessel at Mare Island.
Your tax dollars are about to buy billions in Russian diesel. It won’t lower prices and it will only fund Russia’s war on Ukraine and its attacks on Europe.
Let's be clear on the real cause of high diesel prices.
The president’s choice to go to war with Iran.
For anyone in the Trump Administration to call Vladimir Putin a humanitarian is, at best, disgusting.
Russia launched an unprovoked invasion of Ukraine, and abandoning a nation that should be our ally sends the wrong message to friends and adversaries alike.
The rushed Bahrain base evacuation sums up Trump and Hegseth’s war in Iran: chaos, confusion, and completely avoidable.
These brave servicemembers and their families deserve transparency and prompt, respectful answers to their concerns.

‘I was terrified’: Military families describe their harrowing evacuation from a Navy base in Bahrain
In exclusive interviews with MS NOW, military family members said that after a hasty and traumatic evacuation from Naval Support Activity Bahrain in March they have been living out of hotels and short...
What is going on with Trump and Putin? Trump’s diesel deal is funneling millions in taxpayer funds into Putin’s coffers while our ally Ukraine is left in the dark.
His support for Putin undermines our national security and puts American interests at risk.
Trump lifted sanctions on Russian diesel, handing Putin hundreds of millions of dollars.
This won’t lower prices at the pump, it’ll only fund Putin’s war on Ukraine all while Russia helps Iran target American troops.
Reverse this decision immediately.

'A gift to our adversary': Bipartisan group of senators slam Trump's Russian diesel deal
“This deal is a gift to our adversary and a betrayal of our Allies; it should be rescinded,” the senators wrote.
I'm still angry that the President of the United States said that our adversary should "take out" two cities with a combined population of nearly 13 million people and be a "small price to pay."
Los Angeles and San Diego are not expendable. No American is.
Republicans should condemn him.
Trump promised to bring prices down on Day One. It’s Day 168 of $6 gas because of President Trump’s reckless war of choice in Iran.
Republicans repeatedly voted to prolong the war, and you’re paying for it at the pump.
Republicans’ war, your wallet.
This raid is an abuse of power. Using federal law enforcement against a sitting member of Congress on the eve of an election is unprecedented and unacceptable.
The federal government must never be weaponized against political opponents. I stand with Ilhan.
Today I joined @lofgren.house.gov and my California Congressional colleagues in denouncing President Donald Trump's attack remarks against Los Angeles and San Diego.
We had a deal that kept Iran from a nuclear weapon. Trump ripped it up, and now we're in a war.
This man is not well, and I'm outraged he'd even suggest that Los Angeles and San Diego being bombed by Iran is a “small price to pay”.
This November, voters will end this chaos.
This man is not well.
I'm outraged that Trump would say this about California.
We are not collateral damage in Trump’s quagmire in Iran, and voters will show him that in November.
Trump: "With the war, it's just artificial. It's a little bit high. It's a small price to pay ... let them take out Los Angeles, let them take out San Diego. This is a very small price to pay."
Why are billionaires getting huge tax cuts? Trump and Republicans.
Their Big Ugly Bill gutted health care for 20 million Americans. Then Trump's tariffs and the Iran War drove up food, gas, and health care costs.
Democrats will reverse it.
Because of President Trump, the average family in California has had to pay an additional $5,700+ more for goods and services.
All Republicans have to offer is more tariff taxes, more forever wars, and more handouts for billionaires.

Wilber Rafael Garces Perez was shot in the back by an ICE officer in Austin, then sent to detention with the bullet lodged in him.
I joined 100 Members of Congress demanding that ICE get him medical care, stop trying to deport a key witness, and release the video.

Man shot by ICE in Austin being held in detention center with bullet in his back, lawyer says
Wilber Rafael Garces Perez, the 28-year-old Venezuelan national shot by an ICE officer on Sunday, said in a phone call on Monday that he's "not doing well."
65 years ago, JFK signed the Peace Corps Act into law.
Patti and I answered his call, serving fresh out of college in Ethiopia. Our service changed our lives and inspired several of our kids to serve too.
To mark this milestone, I introduced a bipartisan resolution.
I'm saddened by the news from Yosemite, where a helicopter carrying two wildfire crew members crashed this weekend.
Please keep these hero's families and loved ones in your thoughts and prayers. May everyone fighting to protect our national parks stay safe.
Two people fighting a wildfire in Yosemite National Park for the U.S. Forest Service were killed when their helicopter crashed on Sunday, officials said.
The Trump Administration is spending nearly $17 million to equip ICE agents with electric shock gloves. It is cruel, dangerous, and a gross misuse of taxpayer dollars.
I joined @ramirez.house.gov in demanding that DHS cancel this contract and ban the deployment of these devices in its operations.
