Reps. Chu, Meng, Vargas, and Colleagues Raise Alarm and Demand Answers on Trump Administration’s Language Access Roll Backs
Aug. 15, 2025"In their letter to President Trump and Attorney General Pam Bondi, the Members write, “President Trump does not have the authority to declare English as the national language. The issue of a national language has been debated in Congress, and the legislative branch has not made such an establishment… The memo attempts to roll back decades of progress and weakens the legal framework to combat national origin discrimination by treating language access as an unnecessary privilege rather than a civil right."

Bonnie Watson ColemanBonamici, Hayes, Leger Fernández Lead Letter to Protect Immigrant Access to Head Start
Aug. 12, 2025“Excluding some immigrant children from early education may create greater costs over time,” the Representatives wrote. “Children who enter kindergarten without access to preschool are more likely to need additional support in foundational areas such as literacy, social skills, and basic health care; services that are often addressed in Head Start through early learning and screenings. Keeping immigrant children from participating in Head Start programs would not address the long waitlists nor alleviate limited program availability.”

Frederica WilsonBrownley, Democratic Women’s Caucus Urge ICE to Require Clear Agent Identification, Crack Down on Dangerous Impersonators Targeting Women
Aug. 11, 2025“All our lives, we are taught to fear masked men in unmarked vehicles. We learn we should run from such men to avoid being kidnapped, sexually assaulted, or killed. Yet, ICE is increasingly conducting raids and arrests in masks, plain-clothes, without visible identification or badges, using unmarked vehicles – tactics that cause confusion, terror, and mistrust among the public. These tactics invited perpetrators of violence against women to take advantage of the chaos by impersonating masked ICE agents in order to target and sexually assault women,” the members wrote.

Aug. 11, 2025“Oversight isn’t optional—it’s our duty,” said Congressman Brad Sherman. “Our communities deserve transparency from federal agencies operating in our neighborhoods with such aggressive tactics. But when answers aren’t freely given, we must dig deeper. Today’s oversight visit sent a clear message: We will not allow abuse or neglect to go unchecked.”
“Just a month ago, I was illegally denied entry to this detention facility in downtown Los Angeles. Today, we finally got inside, but what we saw was deeply disturbing. We were barred from speaking with detainees and continue to receive conflicting reports about conditions, from the food and hygiene provided to the alarming lack of clarity over who is authorized to detain people off the streets. We will not stop pressing for answers and accountability until we know the full truth,” said Rep. Judy Chu.
“Only after giving DHS a 14-day notice were my colleagues and I allowed inside the DTLA detention center today to conduct oversight,” said Congressman Jimmy Gomez. “This summer, the facility was reported to be holding more than 300 people a day. Today, there were just 2. ICE and DHS are hiding the truth and blocking real oversight. Our communities deserve answers, unannounced access, and true accountability.”

Aug. 8, 2025“These cases suggest potential violations of constitutional protections. The U.S. Constitution provides important due process protections to all persons within the United States, regardless of immigration status. For example, the Fifth Amendment guarantees due process protections against actions taken by the federal government, while the Sixth Amendment ensures the right to legal counsel in criminal prosecutions. The U.S. Supreme Court has repeatedly affirmed that LPRs are entitled to these same protections,” wrote the lawmakers.

Aug. 8, 2025“ICE policy makes clear that, “[a]s a matter of law, ICE cannot assert its civil immigration enforcement authority to arrest and/or detain a U.S. citizen. However, in recent high-profile cases, ICE has erroneously arrested U.S. citizens, at times appearing to use violent physical force. ICE has also reportedly detained citizens in immigration detention facilities, sometimes for over a week. ICE has even deported U.S. citizens: in multiple cases, ICE has deported U.S. citizen children along with their undocumented parents, reportedly against the families’ wishes,” the Members wrote.

This pattern of neglect demands immediate federal oversight, accountability, and enforcement of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and DHS’s own regulations.”

The use of Medicaid data for immigration enforcement weaponizes health care as a surveillance mechanism for DHS.”

July 18, 2025“As supporters of drug interdiction, anti-theft measures, and the protection of children, we are deeply concerned over reports that USPIS is being diverted away from those core missions to work on Department of Homeland Security (DHS) priorities. According to those reports, inspectors are spending time assisting DHS with painstaking review of individual letters and packages to locate individual immigrants targeted by DHS. That new task comes only a year after the Government Accountability Office (GAO) specifically recommended that USPIS continue its “increasingly important” efforts to align its resources with current mail security needs—not external priorities."

June 23, 2025"Congressman Dan Goldman (NY-10) led 77 of his colleagues in sending a bipartisan letter to the House Appropriations Subcommittee to direct the Department of Justice’s Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR) to submit a report to Congress detailing the status of unaccompanied children’s immigration proceedings. The letter also asks the Committee to include language in its FY2026 report encouraging EOIR to continue using specialized juvenile dockets to improve fairness, efficiency, and child protection in immigration court proceedings.
“The immigration courts have a critical role to play in administering justice efficiently while maintaining standards that ensure due process, which can be especially difficult in proceedings where children are the sole or principal respondent. Utilization of specialized juvenile dockets with robust anti-trafficking safeguards and child-appropriate accommodations can both help protect children from dangers and achieve much needed efficiency benefits for the backlogged immigration courts, all while improving due process in children’s cases,” the Members wrote."

“As Members of Congress, we take an oath to defend the Constitution — the same oath that you and every service member has taken…” the letter reads. “The use of our military service members in this situation, who have sacrificed so much to defend our country, is sickening and disrespectful. The Constitutional rights to free speech and peaceful assembly are hallmarks of our democracy. We must be united in protecting these rights.”

On June 8, 2025, the Members attempted to conduct an inspection of the facility in response to a wave of immigration raids across Los Angeles County. Despite federal law guaranteeing Members of Congress unfettered access to DHS facilities for oversight purposes, the delegation was denied entry, even after waiting outside for nearly two hours.
“This past weekend, I joined Reps. Chu and Tran to conduct Congressional oversight at the Adelanto ICE Detention Center, but instead we were met with locks on the gate, no answer to our calls, and denied entry,” said Rep. Cisneros. “We have a responsibility to ensure ICE is abiding by the law, but they refused to even let us in. We will not stop pressing for answers.”

In a bicameral letter sent today, the lawmakers condemn the deployments as an unlawful overreach that bypassed state and local authority and urge the immediate withdrawal of the National Guard and Marines.
“We are writing to express grave concern regarding the deployment of the National Guard and the activation of 700 Marines to Los Angeles. These actions were taken without the consent of California Governor Gavin Newsom and over the objections of local law enforcement. It constitutes a clear violation of constitutional principles and law, and a grave overreach of executive authority,” wrote the lawmakers.

“It is clear that SEIU President David Huerta was exercising his right to observe law enforcement activity and stand with community in peaceful protest to these raids. I stand with David and with immigrant communities across this country, and demand his immediate release along with the release of those detained in the raids. I will not allow this administration to tear apart families and terrorize neighborhoods. Immigrants strengthen our nation and every person in this country has a right to due process. We need answers. We need accountability. And we need to put an end to Donald Trump’s inhumane and disgusting attacks on immigrant communities.”

This decision is devastating for resettled Afghan nationals in the United States who have fled widespread violence, economic instability, challenging humanitarian conditions, and human rights abuses in their home country. Many of these Afghans fearlessly served as strong allies to the United States military during the war in Afghanistan, and we cannot blatantly disregard their service,” the lawmakers began.

Despite the Trump Administration admitting Mr. Abrego Garcia’s removal was a mistake and the Supreme Court ordering the facilitation of his return, the Trump Administration has indicated repeatedly it does not intend to comply with the Supreme Court’s order and bring Mr. Abrego Garcia back to the United States. Mr. Abrego Garcia is a Maryland resident, living in Maryland’s Fourth Congressional District with his U.S. citizen wife and family.

At least three deaths have occurred in ICE custody and several detained men and women and their families have alleged serious abuses. Immigration advocates have called it an ‘international human rights disaster.’ One detainee labeled Krome ‘a concentration camp.’”

Feb. 5, 2025"Rep. Judy Chu (CA-28) and Sen. Chris Coons (DE) reintroduced the National Origin-Based Antidiscrimination for Nonimmigrants (NO BAN) Act, which would prevent future bans by the Trump administration on people of Islamic faith, or any other religious group, by strengthening the Immigration and Nationality Act to prohibit discrimination based on religion. The bill would also require that any suspension of entry into the United States be narrowly tailored, backed by credible evidence, and subject to appropriate consultation with Congress. In the House, the bill is co-led by Reps. Nadler (NY-12), Don Beyer (VA-08), Ilhan Omar (MN-05), André Carson (IN-07), and Rashida Tlaib (MI-12)."
Rep. Don Beyer, Rep. André Carson, Rep. Judy Chu, Sen. Chris Coons, Rep. Jerry Nadler, Rep. Ilhan Omar, Rep. Rashida TlaibRep. Chu Statement on President Trump’s Executive Order to Repeal Birthright Citizenship
Jan. 21, 2025“The President’s executive order seeking to end birthright citizenship is yet another attempt to place himself and his Administration above the law. But no executive order can supersede the United States Constitution, and birthright citizenship is enshrined in the 14th Amendment of our Constitution with no room for interpretation. This is a foundational principle of our country, that anyone can be an American – regardless of their national origin or the national origin of their parents. President Trump’s executive order does not change the Constitution, and so he cannot revoke birthright citizenship."

While the facility will remain open, it’s still under a court-ordered intake prohibition that has been in place since the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic in 2020.
