Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus

CAPAC is composed of 85 Members of Congress fighting on behalf of Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders across the country. #AANHPI

[Rep Josh Gottheimer @RepJoshG]

It was great to join the Korean American Association of Fort Lee Picnic! Fort Lee’s vibrant Korean American culture is the heart of our community. Proud to stand with you, and I am always grateful for your leadership and contributions to North Jersey!

[Judy Chu @RepJudyChu]

As a proud UCLA alumna, it was an honor to attend @UCLA's first AANAPISI Visioning Forum!

When I was a student, I learned about the rich history and resilience of our Asian American community, and how the “model minority” myth hides the real educational disparities our community faces. I have carried those lessons with me and remain committed to supporting and funding minority serving institutions, such as UCLA, that open doors for so many AANHPI students.

My family and I were inside our Hindu temple in Aurora when a neo-Nazi tried to carry out a massacre. His rifle jammed.
When anti-Indian racism is laughed off or dismissed as “not that bad,” we give hatred room to grow.
We can't wait for another attempted massacre to speak out.

[Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus @CAPAC]

Hate incidents targeting Muslim, Sikh, Hindu & Buddhist communities are rising, yet FBI data fails to reflect this reality.

We need a whole-of-government effort to combat hate by restoring millions in grants Trump cut and ending his violent immigration enforcement tactics.

[RNS @RNS]

In a statement shared exclusively with RNS, 35 organizations wrote that the decline in hate crimes registered by the FBI isn’t 'synonymous with safety.'

Anti-Indian hate is exploding on social media, and Big Tech is profiting from it.
These companies have no incentive to stop the hatred they help spread. Congress must hold them accountable.

[Rep. Rob Menendez @RepMenendez]

It was an honor to join @BAPS and so many of our neighbors this past weekend!

Our Indian-American community is a pillar of Hudson County, strengthening our communities through service, faith, and traditions that bring us together.

Grateful for the warm welcome and the opportunity to share in this special celebration. 🙏🫶

Really, Secretary Rubio? Half a million hateful posts targeting South Asians appeared on X/Twitter since Trump took office.

Anti-Indian hate is on the rise, and this administration needs to acknowledge its role in fueling it.

[Shashank Mattoo @MattooShashank]

Journalist: People are worried about rising anti-Indian hate in the United States right now

Secretary Rubio: There are individuals within our country, sadly, who are stupid, who are dumb or hateful. I don’t believe anti-India hate in the US is widespread

Days after a white supremacist planned a mass shooting at a Hindu temple, new ICE deputy chief of staff Micah Bock is promoting ‘remigration,’ a far-right plan to expel minorities from Western nations.

This is the Trump administration's racist agenda on full display.

[Aaron Reichlin-Melnick @ReichlinMelnick]

Some background on Mr. Bock, the new Deputy Chief of Staff at ICE, who is pushing Great Replacement theory here while using the “remigration” language of the European far right, a phrase whose connotations he is well aware of.

[Rep. Lizzie Fletcher @RepFletcher]

Our Hindu neighbors, along with Sikhs, Muslims, and the south Asian community throughout #TX07 and the U.S., have the right to worship and to do so without fear.

I am deeply concerned by @CongressmanRaja's story and stand with him in opposition to these hateful threats.

[Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi @CongressmanRaja]

I led 105 lawmakers in demanding the FBI investigate the attempted mass shooting at my family’s Hindu temple in Aurora as a potential hate crime.
We must confront the rising tide of anti-Indian hate and the online threats putting our communities at risk.

Trump’s termination of TPS for Nepali immigrants threatens to deport them to flood-ravaged areas while stripping away their health care.

For pregnant women like Aarti, the consequences are devastating. ⬇️

[Judy Chu @RepJudyChu]

Last Friday, I joined @RepRobertGarcia and my California colleagues for an unannounced oversight visit to the Adelanto ICE Processing Center.

What we witnessed was appalling, and consistent with the neglect I have been sounding the alarm about for the past decade: filthy living conditions, dirty water, moldy food, tattered mattresses, and inadequate medical care.

Every day Adelanto remains open is another day lives are in danger. SHUT IT DOWN NOW.

Trump’s reckless war of choice has kept gas above $4 for 163 days. A new record.

[Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus @CAPAC]

Since Trump took office: 

💣 War in Iran 
📦 Crushing tariffs 
🏥 Rising health care costs 
⛽ Soaring gas prices 
🛒 Sky-high grocery bills 
🚨 ICE terrorizing communities 

Is America great again yet?

CAPAC Leadership Statement on Mass Shooting Plot Targeting Indian Americans at Hindu Place of Worship

[Senator Andy Kim @SenatorAndyKim]

Higher diesel means EVERYTHING in your life is more expensive: 

- Food
- Everyday retail items
- Shipping costs
- Heating your home
- Airfare and travel

This is Trump’s war tax on you.  Enough is enough.

[APAICS @APAICS]

Happy birthday to @capac member @repbonamici!

[Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus @CAPAC]

Trump took $20 million of your taxpayer money to pay for his campaign ads. Let that sink in.

[The Washington Sun @washingtonsun]

The White House confirmed that President Trump does not plan to reimburse the federal government for the taxpayer money already spent on what he’s called “Patriotic Ads.”
