For 40 years, my dad worked as a short-order cook and my mom cleaned houses. It’s because of their hard work and sacrifices that I stand here today, ready to preserve and fight for the American Dream.


Joseph Edlow is a longtime Trump loyalist who will rubber stamp this Administration’s extreme immigration policies –– including attempts to restrict legal immigration, revoke Temporary Protected Status, and end birthright citizenship. And while his confirmation is…

Trump's immigration raids aren't just traumatizing workers and sowing chaos in our communities –– they're hurting our economy. Since these raids intensified, California has seen a 3.1% drop in employment, including among U.S. citizens. That's the biggest surge in unemployment…

California saw a 3.1% drop in private-sector employment the week immediately after the Trump administration stepped up its immigration raids in the state, according to a new analysis of U.S. Census data. cal.news/4lSzIgl 📝 @levisu



Over 20 years ago, Asunción Valdivia died of heatstroke after picking grapes for ten hours straight in extreme temperatures. As summer temperatures continue to break records, we're fighting to protect workers from heat illness and death.


I couldn't agree more.    That's why I introduced a bill requiring ICE agents to be clearly identifiable –– just like any other federal law enforcement official. It’s a commonsense approach to reduce public fear, protect communities, and keep agents safe.

ICE is sending out masked agents to carry out enforcement operations. It’s unacceptable. As California’s top law enforcement official, I’m calling on Congress to advance legislation to ensure that federal agents properly identify themselves. Transparency and accountability are…

Promises made. People betrayed.


California National Guard members and Marines are not political props. Release them all.

Even with the removal of 2,000 troops from Los Angeles, another 2,000 National Guard troops remain along with 700 Marines.



Trump’s reckless trade war is making life more expensive for Americans. He promised to bring the cost of everyday goods down to record lows. Instead, his policies are driving prices up at the grocery store, the gas station, and beyond.

Inflation rose last month to its highest level since February as Trump's tariffs are pushing up the cost of a range of goods. apnews.com/article/inflat…



Trump said again and again he was going after violent criminals. Instead, he's setting traps to arrest immigrants who follow the law and show up to their court hearings. These actions deny due process and undermine our justice system. And we're calling on Trump to put an end to…

The Trump administration claims that ICE is only going after violent criminals. If they were, there would be no debate. But we know better. ICE’s own data shows that more than 70% of recent arrests had no criminal convictions.

.@SenAlexPadilla: Pressure from the Trump administration is “causing ICE to get more aggressive, more cruel, more extreme.”

.@SenAlexPadilla responds to @RealTomHoman on ICE detention tactics: “They're going based on appearance. His words, not mine… What if I was outside of Home Depot, because I like to do some work around the house not dressed in a suit? Would I be a target of ICE enforcement under…


We love our country. That’s why we're working to make it safer for EVERYBODY.


Here are the facts: More than 70% of people recently detained by ICE had no criminal record according to ICE’s own reporting. When Trump says he’s going after “the worst of the worst,” he’s lying. apnews.com/article/fact-c…

Trump’s border czar has made it clear: ICE is relying on people’s appearance in detaining them. When federal agents use racial profiling they are not enforcing the law, they are breaking it.


California is home to the largest economy of any state and the fourth largest economy in the world — not despite our immigrant population, but because of it. To deny immigrants access to critical programs is nothing but cruelty for the sake of cruelty. This will have untold…

A man killed fleeing in fear. A U.S. citizen and veteran taken — his family desperately searching for him. This is the chaos that Donald Trump has unleashed on the country. His terror campaign goes far beyond arresting violent criminals. It openly defies our American values as…

Republicans in Congress just voted to gut funding for CA hospitals by more than $4 BILLION.   This means hospital closures, cuts to Medicaid, and higher health care costs for Californians –– all so they can pay for tax cuts for their billionaire donors. kqed.org/science/199770…
