Faith, law enforcement, and business leaders met in DC to talk state immigration bills and why Congress needs to act. Thanks to @RickNaerebout, @katierichards, @Mpross1 and @AlexVASheriff for sharing what they're seeing on the ground.

The Afghan Adjustment Act was reintroduced with strong bipartisan support! Led by @RepMMM and @amyklobuchar, this bill would finally give Afghan allies the stability they've earned. Let's keep our promise. https://t.co/BhQIY1XY55

Mr Homan is completely disconnected from the concept of community. He’s a 30 second sound bite and is dangerous for the future prosperity of our nation. @NatImmForum @ArtCullen @RealTomHoman @LumenMediaSC @USCCB @edlavaCNN

HOMAN: "Nearly 9 out of 10 people who claim asylum, get an order of removal, because they simply don't qualify for asylum. They're not escaping fear & persecution in their homeland."

"They're coming here for a better life, & I get that, but that's not asylum."

Americans want leaders to work together on immigration solutions that address safety AND protect longtime residents. Bipartisan action is possible.

Afghan TPS holders have become valued members of our communities and workplaces. Forcing them to return to dangerous conditions goes against America's promise to protect our allies. We need immigration solutions that respect human dignity and strengthen our nation.

It was great to attend a lecture @DrakeUniversity by @BishopSeitz as he connected the dots of scripture, morality and our call to welcome migrants to our nation and assist them in their need. He walks the walk in advocacy for our immigrant brothers & sisters. @USCCB @NatImmForum

75% of Republicans say family unity and human dignity must remain priorities as we increase border security. Americans want solutions that uphold our values while keeping us safe.

Let’s end the weaponization of the DOJ. Now let’s weaponize the DOJ against local law enforcement.
The theory of Circular Administration is alive and well across all spectrums of our national and some state leaders.
We’re all better than this. https://t.co/Kyi2huIvum

Whether this is rhetoric or an actual strategy it will cripple communities across Iowa, destroy the state’s economy and devastate community relations. ⁦@IAGovernor⁩ , ⁦@ArtCullen⁩ , ⁦@NatImmForum⁩ , ⁦@DMRevans⁩ ⁦@USCCBJFI⁩ https://t.co/BJOoh6ICeK

Mass deportation could mean detention camps, community raids, and forcing local police to become immigration agents. It goes far beyond current policy of focusing on public safety threats. America deserves better solutions.

America's economy needs modern immigration: A system that welcomes talent across industries—from engineers to farmworkers—filling crucial labor gaps while protecting security. The solutions? Reduced visa backlogs, flexible work programs, and legal pathways.

We are very encouraged by @Tom_Suozzi and @RepLuttrell's efforts to build a coalition of legislators to work on immigration reforms.

“We won’t get to solutions if leaders don’t start having conversations across the partisan divide.” Read our statement:
