Hirono, Ossoff Lead Colleagues in Demanding Trump Administration Ensure Legal Representation for Vulnerable Children in Immigration System
March 10, 2025

U.S. Senators Mazie K. Hirono (D-HI) and Jon Ossoff (D-GA) led 30 of their colleagues in sending a letter to Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum, demanding that the Trump Administration continue legal services for unaccompanied children caught up in the immigration system as required by law. Last month, the Trump Administration issued a stop work order to organizations that provide legal services for unaccompanied children. Later that week, following public pressure, the order was rescinded. In 2023, Senator Hirono reintroduced the Fair Day in Court for Kids Act, legislation to provide unaccompanied children with access to legal representation when they appear in proceedings before an immigration judge.

N.M. Delegation Oppose Plans to Use Kirtland & Fort Bliss for Immigration-Related Operations
March 6, 2025

"U.S. Senators Martin Heinrich (D-N.M.) and Ben Ray Luján (D-N.M.), and U.S. Representatives Teresa Leger Fernández (D-N.M.), Melanie Stansbury (D-N.M.), and Gabe Vasquez (D-N.M.) sent a letter to President Donald Trump and Department of Defense (DoD) Secretary Pete Hegseth opposing the Trump administration's reported plans to use military installations, including Kirtland Air Force Base (KAFB) and Fort Bliss, to create a nationwide network of military detention facilities.

“Using our military installations for these purposes threatens to divert DoD’s resources away from unit readiness and our national security enterprise,” which the lawmakers noted, "is a direct contradiction to [the Trump] administration’s statement earlier this year that one of [its] top priorities is to ‘have a ready, able, and lethal military.’”

Heinrich Statement on Legislation that Would Crush Law Enforcement and Upend Everyday Immigration Decisions
Jan. 20, 2025

"U.S. Senator Martin Heinrich (D-N.M.) released the following statement after voting against legislation that would reallocate resources away from addressing violent crime and keeping communities safe and allow state attorneys general to second-guess federal immigration decisions, even on individual cases: 

“If you commit a violent crime in the United States, you should be held accountable. And if you're unlawfully in the United States when you commit that crime, you should be deported.  

“But this legislation does nothing to hold violent criminals accountable. Instead, it would impose a crushing weight on local and federal law enforcement, saddling ICE with an unfunded mandate costing up to $83 billion and forcing local law enforcement to shift their attention away from violent crimes. This legislation could even force the release of those who committed violent crimes, to make room for those who committed nonviolent ones — a nonsensical outcome that would harm rather than help our communities.”

Sen. Heinrich- Mass Deportations Would Deliver a Catastrophic Blow to the U.S. Economy
Dec. 11, 2024

"Though the U.S. immigration system remains broken, immigrants are crucial to growing the labor force and supporting economic output. Immigrants have helped expand the labor supply, pay nearly $580 billion a year in taxes, possess a spending power of $1.6 trillion a year, and just last year contributed close to $50 billion each in personal income and consumer spending. Congress must reform and modernize the immigration system while also cementing the immense economic benefits associated with immigration. Time and time again, Democrats have attempted to do so through comprehensive immigration reform but have been blocked by Republicans who continue to use the issue to sow division."

Cardin, Van Hollen Lead Senate Call for Humanitarian Protections for Guatemalans Living in the U.S.
Oct. 15, 2024

"U.S. Senators Ben Cardin and Van Hollen (both D-Md.), along with more than a dozen other senators, wrote to President Joe Biden requesting that his administration “provide temporary humanitarian protections for Guatemalan nationals living in the United States.” The letter asks for the president to designate Temporary Protected Status for Guatemala or authorize Deferred Enforced Departure for Guatemalan nationals."
