Under the second Trump administration, funding for ICE and CBP has TRIPLED — all while poorly trained, masked agents detain and now kill U.S. citizens and legal residents. 

Today, I went on Fox 32 to announce that I'm working on an amendment that will cut funding to ICE and CBP — unless major changes are made to DHS operations. This amendment would alter the upcoming Homeland Security Appropriations bill to prohibit raids near sensitive locations like schools and courthouses, require agents to wear body cameras, ban them from wearing masks, and eliminate the use of chemical irritants on bystanders. It would also stop illegal, warrantless arrests and prevent CBP from operating in non-border states (like Illinois).

I'm also backing Rep. Robin Kelly's articles of impeachment against DHS Secretary Kristi Noem. And, I was proud to attend a rally in Oz Park last weekend to protest the violence perpetuated by these agents and the killing of Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis.

I'm going to keep speaking up and speaking out until this chaos ends.

Watch my Fox 32 interview on the amendment HERE.

This week, I joined every Democrat and six Republicans to defeat anti-labor legislation that would make it easier for companies to force their staff to attend unpaid trainings afterhours.

After this bill failed on the House Floor, Speaker Johnson canceled two additional anti-labor votes that would have chipped away at protections for overtime pay and tipped workers. I am proud to stand against this legislation that would have harmed working families.
