In Letter to Trump, Huffman, Leger Fernández, House and Senate Colleagues Demand a Stop to Unconscionable ICE Harassment of Native American Citizens
Jan. 29, 2025Today, Ranking Member of the House Natural Resources Committee Jared Huffman, Congresswoman Teresa Leger Fernández, Ranking Member of the Homeland Security Committee Bennie Thompson, Congressman Raúl Grijalva, Congressman Melanie Stansbury, Congressman Gabe Vasquez, Congresswoman Yassamin Ansari and Senators Martin Heinrich and Ben Ray Lujan sent a letter to President Donald Trump demanding immediate action to address reports of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents harassing, detaining, and questioning Native American Tribal members about their citizenship. The Members condemned these actions as unconstitutional and a violation of Tribal sovereignty, calling for swift action to end racial profiling and protect Native communities.

Gabe VasquezHeinrich 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. Martin HeinrichSen. 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."

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."
