Thanks to the people of Michigan’s Third District for blessing me with the awesome responsibility of representing you in Congress these many years. Thanks to my staff for your love, dedication, and integrity—for your commitment to the people we represent and to the Constitution.
New! @JustinAmash, the only @LPNational member of Congress, introduces bills to protect asylum seekers, end family separation, and mandate alternatives to detention be used. It harmonizes asylum and criminal law by blocking prosecution of anyone who crosses to request asylum
Today, I introduced the Protect Asylum Seekers Act and the Practical Alternatives to Detention Act to protect immigrants from unnecessary prosecution, detention, or family separation. Our country was founded on the principle that human rights are inherent and deserve protection.
Today, I intro’d the National Emergencies Reform Act. NERA automatically sunsets emergencies unless Congress can’t meet or votes to sustain the designation within 48 hours of reconvening. All nat’l emergencies expire 60 days after enactment unless Congress votes to continue them.
Today, I intro’d the Intelligence Community Congressional Whistleblowing Improvement Act—to allow IC whistleblowers to approach any member of Congress with concerns, and the FISA Oversight Correction Act—to stop gov’t from blocking a defendant’s access to FISA warrant materials.
Today, I introduced the Civil Asset Forfeiture Elimination Act to repeal civil asset forfeiture nationwide. Its history is riddled with injustices not because it’s a valid practice that gets misused, but because its central premise is inherently flawed and unconstitutional.
NEW: Gerald R. Ford International Airport announced it will host a new COVID-19 testing site beginning tomorrow. No appointment needed. No doc referral required. Don’t have to have symptoms to be tested. @WOODTV
MDHHS issued a new emergency order that enacts a three-week pause targeting indoor social gatherings & other group activities in an effort to curb rapidly rising #COVID19 infection rates. For more information about the order, visit https://t.co/daA3Ex8gMN.
Happy Veterans Day and thanks to all who have served honorably to defend our Constitution and the people. We owe it to these brave Americans never to send them to war without a clear, just mission and a vote in Congress, and to bring them home without delay. No more endless wars.
As COVID-19 cases continue to trend upwards, GR opens up more community testing sites. There will now be free testing at Garfield Park Gym on below dates & times @WOODTV
Just got off the phone with @VoteMeijer to congratulate him on his win in #MI03. He has my full support as he takes on a new role. Let’s welcome him as our next congressman and work to build a great relationship. We’re looking forward to a peaceful transfer of representation. 😉
