“ICE has publicly reported 25 detainee deaths since January 23, 2025, and has issued 15 Detainee Death Reports in accordance with congressional reporting requirements. To put that figure into perspective, ICE has recorded almost 64 percent as many in-custody deaths in just the first nine months of President Trump’s second term as occurred during his entire first term, when 36 detainees died in custody. Further, the number of deaths this year exceeds every year on record since reporting began in 2018, including Fiscal Year 2020, when deaths spiked in part due to the COVID-19 pandemic” wrote the representatives.

They continued, “ICE appears to have repeatedly failed to comply with internal standards, and these failures have contributed to deaths in custody. For example, over the last decade, ICE has delayed or provided substandard medical care, neglected to provide proper medication, and falsified medical records. ICE has also failed to notify next of kin following the death of a detainee “timely, accurately, appropriately, and with sufficient detail” despite being required to by ICE Directive 11003.6 and PBNDS. ICE’s failure to adhere to basic standards of care for individuals in its custody is inexcusable.”

“By forcing unreasonable fees and legal uncertainty onto these families, which will likely result in many being forced to return to their war-torn homes, we are abdicating our responsibility to support our allies in their fight for autonomy and democracy. For these reasons, we urge you to apply the fee only to individuals who submitted their applications on or after July 4, 2025, so that all families, including those participating in U4U, are fairly adjudicated under the rules that were in place when they applied.”

In the year prior to October 1, 2025, Nlets facilitated over 290 million queries for Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) data, 292,114 of which were from ICE and 605,116 were from Homeland Security Investigations, a law enforcement agency within the Department of Homeland Security, according to Nlets. These statistics represent federal and out-of-state requests for data because law enforcement agencies do not generally access DMV data about residents of their own states through Nlets.

“This commonsense step will improve public safety and guard against Trump officials using your state’s data for unjustified, politicized actions, while still allowing continued collaboration on serious crimes,” the lawmakers wrote.

“For Jamaicans living in America, TPS would provide them with the safety and stability needed following the horrific storm that devastated the island leaving families displaced and homes destroyed,” Rep. Meeks said. “Now is the time for the United States to stand with Jamaica. Granting TPS is not only an act of compassion but of solidarity – ensuring that those already here are not sent back into dangerous and unstable conditions.” 

The Members wrote in the letter:

“Jamaica is currently confronting widespread devastation caused by Hurricane Melissa. The storm has left countless residents without homes, electricity, clean water, or access to medical care. Roads and vital infrastructure have been destroyed, communities are struggling to recover, and the Government of Jamaica faces immense challenges in restoring essential services. Tens of thousands have been displaced, and recovery is expected to take months – if not years. Under these conditions, it would be unsafe and inhumane to require Jamaican nationals currently residing in the United States to return home.”

"Amid protests of the Trump Administration’s aggressive approach to immigration enforcement, we have heard disturbing allegations that this Administration is failing to ensure safe and equal access for reporters. In Portland, city officials have raised concerns the federal government is “engaging in prohibited viewpoint discrimination” by providing unequal access to social media influencers documenting the demonstrations depending on their viewpoints. In Chicago, a group of press associations and journalists is suing the Administration, alleging that federal law enforcement officers employed “extreme brutality” to silence the press. One journalist reported that a masked ICE agent shot a pepper ball at her car, burning her face. Federal Courts have since imposed a temporary restraining order on the Government in that case, prohibiting officers from further targeting journalists."

“This petition must also be understood in the context of today’s political climate. AFL is not a neutral actor; it is a partisan organization founded by senior officials from the Trump administration, including Stephen Miller, who architected some of the most draconian immigration policies of the last decade. The petition is part of a broader campaign, exemplified by Executive Order 14248 and the so-called SAVE Act, to manufacture disinformation about non-citizen voting as a pretext for shrinking the electorate.”

“Adopting this petition would not only disenfranchise millions of eligible voters but would also weaponize the EAC, an institution dedicated to strengthening election access and integrity, into a partisan tool for voter suppression.”

“Offering financial inducements to children, many of whom are fleeing violence, trafficking, or persecution, undermines these protections and risks coercing minors into abandoning legitimate legal claims,” the CHC letter states. “Coercing children into forfeiting their rights is not immigration enforcement.

 “We have deep concern regarding recent reports that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is summarily returning unaccompanied migrant children to their countries of origin, contrary to longstanding requirements under the bipartisan Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act of 2008 (TVPRA). Given that we know the Trump Administration has no concern for keeping families together, we expect that DHS’s new policy will deprive children of due process and place them in grave danger of trafficking and other harm,” said the Members.

“DHS’s proposal to constrain the timeframe of admission for students, exchange visitors, and members of the media to a fixed period of time is the latest in a series of unwarranted policy changes that have undermined our role as a leader in international education, and harmed universities, businesses, and U.S. students that depend on foreign student enrollment,” wrote the Members. “We cannot condone the erosion of our platforms of learning, culture, and expression—particularly when there is no basis to do so.”

“We have been concerned by recent statements and actions undertaken by DHS that seem to indicate that the Department is unlawfully using race as a basis for conducting immigration enforcement operations,” wrote the lawmakers. “A strategy of immigration enforcement that singles out law-abiding people solely because of their race is at odds with our constitution’s commitment to both equality and freedom from unreasonable searches.”

"U.S. Senate Democratic Whip Dick Durbin (D-IL), Ranking Member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, and U.S. Senators Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) and Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), along with Representatives Chrissy Houlahan (D-PA-06), Maggie Goodlander (D-NH-02), and Delia Ramirez (D-IL-03), opened a new investigation into the Trump Administration’s arrest, detention, and deportation of non-citizen service members, Veterans, and military families.

“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.”

“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.

“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.

“It appears this Administration plans to weaponize denaturalization cases to further smear innocent people and go after its perceived enemies,” wrote the Members. “The Trump Administration’s denaturalization efforts are a threat to the safety of every single American, including the roughly 24.5 million naturalized citizens as well as natural-born citizens alike. If the Administration is attacking citizens for speaking out against them, no one in this country is safe from harassment and arrest.”

“No mother should ever know the indignity or the pain of having her legs shackled during labor. The idea that our government would detain and shackle pregnant women should bring great shame on us all,” said Congresswoman Sylvia Garcia. “This administration has gone after mothers. It has hunted immigrants. And when those two cruelties collide, pregnant immigrant women are placed in grave danger. I’m reintroducing this bill with these women in mind. I’m grateful to Senator Murray for leading the fight in the Senate, and I won’t stop until these mothers and their babies are protected by federal law.”

“As you are aware, many Afghan allies that received TPS stood shoulder to shoulder with American servicemembers for nearly two decades during the war in Afghanistan. Many fled to the United States out of fear of persecution by the Taliban or retaliation for such cooperation with the United States. It is unsafe for political targets of the Taliban to be forced to return against their will. TPS protections must be maintained for Afghan nationals in the United States,” the lawmakers concluded.

"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."

Today, Rep. Gil Cisneros (CA-31) and House Democratic Caucus Vice Chair Ted W. Lieu (CA- 36) led 34 House Democrats to condemn the reports that U.S. Marines detained a U.S. citizen and veteran last Saturday. 

“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.

“While we can all agree that the immigration system is badly outdated and in need of comprehensive reforms from Congress, it is not an appropriate solution to simply ignore the Constitutionally-protected right to due process, the laws that currently exist, and judges’ orders,” wrote the Members. “We have laws and procedures in place to remove people from this country. The administration cannot willfully ignore those laws and send people to third countries, in some cases, countries suffering from humanitarian disasters and armed conflict.”

“We write with deep concern about the Department of Homeland Security’s termination of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Afghanistan, which is scheduled to take effect on July 14, 2025. 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.

"U.S. Representatives Maxine Dexter, M.D. (OR-03), Pramila Jayapal (WA-07), Ranking Member of the Subcommittee on Immigration, Integrity, Security, and Enforcement, Adriano Espaillat (NY-13), Chair of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, Nydia Velázquez (NY-07), Sylvia Garcia (TX-29), Debbie Wasserman Schultz (FL-25), Emily Randall (WA-06), Yassamin Ansari (AZ-03), Mark Pocan (WI-02), and Gwen Moore (WI-04) used the recent district work period to conduct oversight of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facilities, a critical duty of Members of Congress. These visits come after officials attempted to block Representatives LaMonica McIver (NJ-10), Bonnie Watson Coleman (NJ-12), and Rob Menendez (NJ-08) from conducting oversight at the Delaney Hall Detention Facility.

“The Northwest Detention Center is harboring some of the most heartbreaking stories in our region. Trump claims he’s going after criminals but the reality is he's going after moms, union leaders, green-card holders. He’s detaining our neighbors, our coworkers, and our loved ones—without guaranteed due process or any accountability," said Congresswoman Dexter. “On my visit, the discrepancy between what ICE told us and what we heard from those detained was damning. There is zero clarity on who is being detained and their quality of life. From mealtimes to access to fresh air, from medical care to reporting assault—nothing aligned. Let’s be clear: this system is not designed to keep anyone safe. It is designed to break spirits, strip rights, and disappear people from our communities—all funded by your tax dollars. I will not back down from this fight.”

“This is not about national security. It is about using immigration enforcement as a weapon to stifle political dissent, restrict due process, and enforce an exclusionary and nativist vision of America that runs counter to everything our institutions of higher learning stand for,” wrote the Members. “Across the country, students are being picked up – in some cases by masked immigration agents in unmarked cars – and being held in detention facilities with no warning and limited information as to why they are being deported.”

"Trump and Secretary Noem have abused the Department of Homeland Security and its agencies, including Customs and Border Patrol, to terrorize our communities, profile Latinos, and arrest U.S. citizens. While Republicans have proven unwilling or incapable of conducting oversight, the Administration continues to violate our rights and undermine due process," said Congresswoman Ramirez. "We deserve answers, and we will use every tool at our disposal to get them."

Today, Congressman Glenn Ivey (MD-04) sent a letter to President Donald Trump demanding the immediate return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who was wrongfully deported to El Salvador, to the United States, despite having been granted protection from deportation by a United States immigration court. 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.

"The Trump Administration has proven once again that they will stop at nothing to inflict fear upon our immigrant neighbors and their loved ones,” said Congressman Rob Menendez. “These new HUD policies do nothing to address our national housing crisis. Instead, they will worsen housing instability for some of our most vulnerable community members and diminish families’ access to safe, healthy, and affordable homes. My colleagues and I are demanding that Secretary Turner reverse course and avoid this unnecessary harm."

Today, U.S. Senator Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) and U.S. Representative Glenn Ivey (D-Md.) sent a bicameral letter with over 30 of their colleagues to President Donald Trump urging the Administration to extend Temporary Protected Status (TPS) to Cameroonians living legally in the United States, as ongoing violence, instability, and humanitarian crises continue to pose a grave threat to anyone returning to Cameroon. In their letter, the lawmakers highlight that extending and redesignating these protections for Cameroonians already in the U.S. advances American interests in supporting counterterrorism efforts and strengthening our economy.

"Trump's mass deportation plan forces us to confront an important question: What kind of nation do we want to be? Are we willing to pour hundreds of billions of dollars into a punitive immigration enforcement scheme that separates families, destabilizes industries, and undermines our economy? Or will we be a nation that comes together to invest in solutions that reform our broken immigration system, strengthen our communities, create greater economic opportunities, and uphold the values that make this country a beacon of hope and opportunity?"

“The Biden administration should be working to expand legal pathways of migration to help reduce pressures at our border and help manage our immigration challenges.
