I just filed a lawsuit against the Trump Administration.
Members of Congress have the right under law to conduct oversight of federal immigration detention facilities.
See you in court, @realDonaldTrump. nytimes.com/2025/07/30/us/po…

Jeanette Vizguerra is a mother and pillar in her community. I am deeply concerned about ICE's actions to detain her without any due process, like a deportation order.
ICE should ensure Jeanette has legal counsel and immediately release her.

Why don’t people come legally? Because Congress has provided so few options to do so, not updating its laws in the last 3 and a half decades.
Just 3% of those applying for permanent legal status in 2024 received it. That’s the failed policy.

Mass deportation is diverting law enforcement resources away from obtaining justice for victims. Indeed, it even targets the victims.
Sabotaging local economies, obliterating communities, will not restore public safety. It will make us poorer, while increasing the crime rate and victimization rate for Americans.

With less than 4 months left in office, @POTUS can still keep his promise to shut down private detention centers.
During the Biden Administration, the number of people in immigration detention has more than DOUBLED. #BidenLegacy

Reminder: Refugees, asylum seekers and immigrants are all human beings with hopes, dreams, and aspirations—and they deserve to be treated with dignity and respect.

Those exaggerating and distorting the Aurora gang issue need to stop. Their misrepresentations are not based in reality.
I've met and spoken with federal law enforcement and local leaders: the gang issues are being grossly exaggerated and misrepresented.
Current gang activity is consistent with trends across Colorado and law enforcement is dealing with it. In fact, violent crime is going down in the metro area.
Misrepresentations about crime only make it harder for law enforcement to do their job and harder for the residents impacted by squalid conditions to find suitable housing.
To be clear, the politicians parachuting into our community couldn’t care less about youth violence, housing insecurity, or refugee resettlement challenges.

Is racism fueling the furor over a Venezuelan gang “takeover” of apartment buildings in Aurora?
