[Congressman Chuy García @RepChuyGarcia]

Once again, a white supremacist targeted a community just because of who they are. I stand in solidarity with the Indian community and with my colleague @CongressmanRaja and his family. People have the right to feel free and safe to worship without fear of violence.

[Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal]

I am incredibly grateful that local law enforcement thwarted this attempted mass shooting by a white supremacist and that the worshipers at this temple are safe.

Attacks on South Asians have been on the rise, online and by leaders in our own government. This hate, racism, and violence are absolutely unacceptable, are traumatizing our communities, and must end.

[Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman @RepBonnie]

Everyone deserves to feel safe while they practice their faith. That is foundational to the Freedom of Worship. The scourge of hatred in our country, including against our Hindu and Indian-American neighbors, MUST be addressed if we are to live in a free society.

The rise in hatred against those who are not white is anti-American. It is reminiscent of the days of Jim Crow and the KKK and has been fomented by Donald Trump and his goons in the White House.

[Congresswoman Yassamin Ansari @RepYassAnsari]

I'm so grateful that @CongressmanRaja, his family, and everyone who attended their temple last Sunday are safe. This frightening incident shows once again that we must continue to fight back against hatred, extremism, and white supremacy targeting any community. Every single person in our country must have the freedom to worship without fear.

[Congressman Greg Casar @RepCasar]

Members of Congress came to Austin today to begin our investigation of the ICE shooting of Wilber Garcés-Pérez.

ICE has tried to avoid accountability, but Congress will use our powers to uncover the truth.

Statement from CPC Chair @RepCasar on the outrageous raid of the home of CPC Deputy Chair @Ilhan earlier today:

“Trump has sent ICE to arrest kids, to shoot innocent citizens, and now to raid the home of a US Congresswoman because he thinks it’ll help his party this election season.

Ilhan Omar stands up and won’t let Trump do whatever he wants to our country. It’s up to us to do the same.”

[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.”
