This fight is personal for me. I am a first-generation Mexican-American son of immigrants. I fought for human rights as an attorney and have served this country in uniform.
ICE is targeting people because they speak Spanish or because they have accents (like my parents), or simply because they don’t “look American” to them.
But standing up to ICE and speaking out against the abuses of this Administration increasingly means putting a target on one’s back. I will not back down from this fight—but you can bet that the Trump Administration is going to come after me with political hit jobs and even personal threats.
They’ve done this again and again: launching so-called “investigations” into Gov. Tim Walz in Minnesota, prosecuting multiple members of Congress for frivolous charges of “obstruction” when they were conducting congressional oversight of ICE, and leveling baseless accusations of corruption and fraud against anyone willing to stand in their way.
