No one deserves to feel the pain of seeing your child's face on a missing poster.
Proud to join @CSCBroward, @LifeNet4Fam, @noblenatl, @UnitedWayBC and Broward leaders to announce distribution of 400,000 free Child ID kits to help bring missing kids home.
Since DACA began 14 years ago, DREAMers have strengthened America.
They've grown up here since they were kids and are just as American as any of us. This is the only home they know.
As DACA comes under attack, we must keep fighting for permanent protections for DREAMers.
ICE can't even spend all the money Republicans throw at them.
We need to use our tax dollars to fix our affordability crisis, not give ICE a slush fund for corrupt contracts, internment camps and private jets.
As ICE deports law-abiding immigrants to brutal dictatorships, but welcomes white South Africans with open arms, it's clear what their selective crackdown is about.
I just pushed measures to stop ICE's clear racial profiling and protect TPS, but Republicans voted them down.
Trump's assault on TPS rips apart American families and hurts our economy.
TPS holders pay into SNAP, Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security without seeing a penny in return. It helps nobody to rip law-abiding immigrants out of the workforce.
Americans need more homes we can afford, not more ICE cruelty. This week I pushed to use unspent ICE funds to fix America's housing crisis.
Just 25% of ICE's budget can end homelessness. But Republicans voted it down.
Great to honor Broward's women veterans this morning.
As the lead Democrat on the @AppropsDems Military Construction and Veterans Affairs subcommittee, I'll always support those who served our country and continue to deliver for them.
Ten years ago today, 49 lives were stolen from us in a mass shooting at Orlando’s LGBTQ+ Pulse nightclub.
I joined @RepDarrenSoto, @USRepKCastor, @RepLoisFrankel, @RepMaxwellFrost, @RepMoskowitz and other House colleagues to honor their memories in a moment of silence on the House Floor.
Trump is trying to take away Congress's power. Republicans are handing the keys to the people's house away to a wannabe king.
We won't let them get away with it.
Republicans want to gut the Government Accountability Office so Trump and his friends can get away with corruption.
GAO recovers more taxpayer savings than DOGE could dream of, but Republicans want to make it less efficient.
This morning we supported @FloridaHouseDC interns programming being able to learn from @RepDWStweets and her words of wisdom about working hard and not being afraid to do more.
Honored to be named an Everglades Champion by the @EvergFoundation!
I'll always fight to protect our beloved River of Grass, and am proud to have secured billions in federal investment for restoration.
House Republicans just handed ICE and CBP another $70B while ripping affordable healthcare from nearly 100,000 Broward families. I voted no.
I fought to stop ICE brutality in the Appropriations Committee past 1AM last night, and @appropsdems are continuing the fight today.
The truth is that there are VASTLY more hate crimes, especially aggravated rape and murder, per person by Blacks against Whites than the other way around.
The is not remotely debatable, as the numbers are so extremely lopsided!
I've represented South Florida's diverse Caribbean and Latin American diaspora communities throughout my career. Their stories have sharpened my focus on human rights & democracy.
Honored to join @HouseForeign to carry that mission forward & fight Trump's America-last policies.
Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz on being appointed to Foreign Affairs: "I’m proud to have long represented one of the nation’s most diverse Caribbean and Latin American diasporas, whose stories and struggles shape my commitment to democracy and justice abroad & at home."
