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.

[Rep. Ilhan Omar @Ilhan]

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.”

A severe heat wave is bringing dangerously high temperatures to Los Angeles from October 2 through October 8. Check on vulnerable neighbors and find cooling centers near you at https://t.co/yqC5rDdvIw. Report any signs of heat illness immediately by calling 911. Stay cool, LA.

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.

A student died after a fall at Benjamin Franklin High School in Highland Park. The campus was placed on lockdown for nearly three hours as police investigated. A memorial has formed outside the campus as investigators work to determine exactly what happened. https://t.co/yFCsVle2We

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

[Rep. Jimmy Gomez @RepJimmyGomez]

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.

[The Washington Post @washingtonpost]

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. https://t.co/59ljl50vG2

[Rep. Jimmy Gomez @RepJimmyGomez]

Happy Labor Day Los Angeles! Today let's honor and celebrate the workers who built this country and the contributions of all hardworking people that continue to propel America forward! We must never stop fighting for fair wages, benefits, and dignity for all.

[Rep. Jimmy Gomez @RepJimmyGomez]

BREAKING: A whistleblower from USPS just exposed Republicans' scheme to disrupt mail-in ballots for millions of Americans.

Trump and Republicans know they can’t earn your vote, so they’re doing everything they can to make sure your vote doesn’t count.

[philip lewis @Phil_Lewis_]

The USPS is reportedly set to comply with a Trump executive order by launching a hastily built, error-riddled system that could jeopardize mail voting https://t.co/LKuQRJjWFA

[Rep. Jimmy Gomez @RepJimmyGomez]

A year after being injured and detained for simply documenting ICE during a raid, the charges against my friend and constituent, David Huerta, have finally been dropped.

The Trump administration might not like it, but in America we have a First Amendment right to document government actions and speak out against attacks on our communities. I continue to stand with David and SEIU against the Trump administration’s abuses. No amount of intimidation or fear will silence us.

[SEIU California @seiucalifornia]

14 months after being tackled and pepper sprayed for observing an ICE raid, David Huerta is vindicated.

This attempt to weaponize the justice system against anyone who dares to defend immigrant workers collapsed because the truth, and the videos, don't lie.

To every worker, every immigrant, everyone who’s ever been targeted: now is the time to keep organizing.

[Rep. Jimmy Gomez @RepJimmyGomez]

My team and I have seen reports of a brush fire in Eagle Rock. My office has reached out to @LAFD and urge those in the area to follow official guidance. Thank you to the firefighters and first responders working to keep our community safe.

No body cameras. Unmarked vehicles. Lorenzo wasn’t even ICE’s intended target.

This is what rogue, reckless, and incompetent enforcement looks like, and it cannot go unanswered.

DHS cannot be trusted. We need a full, independent investigation NOW.

[ABC News @ABC]

New questions are emerging in the deadly ICE shooting in Houston after the Department of Homeland Security said the man fatally shot by a federal officer was not the agency’s intended target.

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was shot and killed by ICE.

This is horrifying. It is infuriating. Every single American should be outraged that a father left for work and never came home.

I’m calling for a full, independent investigation into Lorenzo’s death. His family deserves a full accounting of what ICE did, and if misconduct occurred, those responsible must be held accountable.

[Reuters @Reuters]

The family of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a Mexican national fatally shot by an ICE agent in Houston, is demanding a full investigation, with his son Ronaldo saying 'he did not deserve to die' after ICE claimed the shooting was self-defense https://t.co/PBy44e8gPT

Happy Independence Day!

Today, we celebrate 250 years of freedom, democracy, and absolutely NO kings 🇺🇸

[Rep. Jimmy Gomez @RepJimmyGomez]

Birthright citizenship isn’t a gift from a president, it’s a promise in the Constitution itself.

[Rep. Jimmy Gomez @RepJimmyGomez]

Today’s Supreme Court decision makes it clear: Trump is taking legal status away from immigrants who already have it.

Haitian and Syrian TPS holders followed the law, worked, paid taxes and built lives here. Now every TPS holder is wondering: am I next?

Cruelty by design.

[Rep. Jimmy Gomez @RepJimmyGomez]

Happy “I took away your constitutional rights” anniversary to Donald Trump. 😒

Four years later, I’m to committed to fighting everyday to restore Roe, protect contraception and IVF, and put women—not politicians—in charge of their own bodies.

[FactPost @factpostnews]

Trump: I was proudly the person responsible for the ending of Roe v. Wade

[Rep. Jimmy Gomez @RepJimmyGomez]

This is unhinged.

Trump is holding a bipartisan housing bill hostage to force through his agenda to suppress votes and rig elections.

While people can’t afford rent, he’s using housing relief as a bargaining chip to cling to power.

His priorities are clear.

[Jake Sherman @JakeSherman]

BREAKING NEWS: PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP has canceled the signing of the housing bill until Congress passes the SAVE America Act.

The stage is set in the Capitol.

House GOP leadership is literally on stage right now touting the bill.

🚨Smoke relief shelters and additional resources available for anyone affected by the Lineage Logistics fire in Boyle Heights.

Today isn't just about remembering the scourge of slavery, but continuing our commitment to the fight for justice and dignity.

Wishing everyone a meaningful Juneteenth.
