If this can happen to a sitting member of Congress, it can happen to ANYONE who stands in Trump's way or doesn't do as he says.

The DHS raid on Rep. Ilhan Omar's home is extremely dangerous and the desperate attempts of a president who thinks he's a king.

The Office of Congresswoman Omar released the following statement:

“This raid by Trump’s DHS is an outrageous abuse of power and an unprecedented escalation in the weaponization of federal law enforcement to target political enemies. For a decade, Donald Trump has relentlessly targeted Congresswoman Ilhan Omar with inflammatory rhetoric, repeatedly putting a target on her back. Now, those attacks have escalated to a pointless federal raid. The Congresswoman has done nothing wrong. No president should be able to use the power of the federal government to intimidate his political enemies.”

What happened yesterday at Franklin High School is every parent’s worst nightmare. My heart is with the family and loved ones of the student who lost his life, and with the students, teachers, staff, and entire community grieving this devastating loss.

As authorities continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding this tragedy, I urge families to check in with their children and remind them that they never have to struggle alone. If you are experiencing depression, bullying, violence, or feel overwhelmed, please reach out to someone you trust and ask for help. Every young person deserves to feel safe, supported, and heard.

Wishing a blessed Yom Kippur to all observing in Los Angeles and across the country. May it be meaningful, full of reflection and renewal.

With TPS for Salvadorans scheduled to expire today, more than 170,000 people, including 30k in my district, face being uprooted from lives built over decades in the United States. DHS’s decision to delay deportations offers some relief, but families deserve certainty, not prolonged fear.

TPS holders are our neighbors, friends, and family members. They deserve certainty, not to live in fear that any given day in America could be their last.

Scores of immigrants from El Salvador who have been shielded from deportation for decades because of ongoing violence and natural disasters in their homeland could now face removal from the United States after their benefits expire today. wapo.st/4yNfOKv
