Thank you to the #GlobalSumudFlotilla —including an individual from the East Bay who is traveling on the flotilla—for leading a peaceful humanitarian mission to end man-made famine and genocide in Gaza. I urge the Israeli government to end the blockade and let desperately needed humanitarian aid in immediately.
The Trump administration is using confidential data collected by federal agencies to racially profile immigrant communities.
My district is one of the most diverse places in the country, and in CA-12 we don’t stand by while our neighbors are harassed, terrorized, and illegally detained.
That’s why I’m cosponsoring the Home Together Act and the Limiting ICE’s National Encroachment Act to reign this administration in. CA-12 says not in our neighborhood.
Last week, Ms. Harjit Kaur —a member of the Hercules community for over 30 years who spent years working at Sari Palace in Berkeley— was detained by ICE officials.
Ms. Kaur is a mother, grandmother, and beloved member of her community. Her detention is yet another example of the Trump Administration’s callous campaign against immigrants. She has reported to ICE every six months and has no criminal record -- the point is cruelty.
I join @RepGaramendi, who represents Ms. Kaur, in calling for the safe release of our Bay Area neighbor.
CA-12 is one of the most diverse places in the U.S., with dozens of languages spoken, rich histories of migration, and deep roots of political engagement.
Since the start of my term in Congress, I have been committed to sitting, speaking, and being with everyone in our district. And since being sworn in in January, I am proud to have welcomed over 4,000 people across NINE town halls, including at town halls in every one of the seven cities in our district.
Thank you for your stories, your voices, and your time -- I am carrying your voices with me to the halls of Congress every day. The work continues.
