Congressman Glenn Ivey Leads House Colleagues in Demanding Return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia
April 21, 2025Today, 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.

April 17, 2025"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."

March 31, 2025"U.S. Senators Alex Padilla (D-Calif.), Ranking Member of the Senate Judiciary Immigration Subcommittee, and Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) joined 64 House and Senate Democrats in urging Attorney General Pam Bondi to reverse the Executive Office for Immigration Review’s (EOIR) alarming decision to fire immigration judges even as the immigration courts currently face a staggering backlog of immigration cases. In February, EOIR abruptly fired 20 immigration judges, removed all nine Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) judges appointed during the Biden Administration, and terminated four individuals in senior EOIR leadership positions, with indications they may remove even more judges."

March 7, 2025Representative Jimmy Gomez (CA-34) is leading 35 of his colleagues in demanding answers from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) after the agency abruptly froze funding for the Citizenship and Assimilation (C&A) Grant Program, jeopardizing critical services that help lawful permanent residents become U.S. citizens. Since 2009, the C&A Grant Program, previously known as the Citizenship and Integration Grant Program, has funded organizations that assist immigrants with citizenship applications, English language instruction, and civics education. The freeze—ordered by a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) memorandum on January 28—has left grant recipients without resources and no clear timeline for reinstatement. A list of grant recipients impacted by the funding freeze is available—click HERE for FY23 recipients and HERE for FY24 recipients.

March 7, 2025Today, in response to reports that the White House is preparing to announce a ban expanding the “Muslim Ban” and other travel bans of President Trump’s first term, Congressman Krishnamoorthi wrote to President Trump to urge him to abandon the effort due to its harm to American interests. The consequences of such a ban could include the abandonment of thousands of people of Afghanistan who are now in danger of retaliation by the Taliban for having helped American civilians and servicemembers. When President Trump issued his original travel ban in January 2017, Congressman Krishnamoorthi was the first member of Congress to arrive at O’Hare International Airport in Chicago to speak out against the measure and help secure the release of lawful visitors and U.S. nationals illegally detained under the order.
Rep. Raja KrishnamoorthiKrishnamoorthi Issues Statement on President Trump's Birthright Citizenship Executive Order
Jan. 22, 2025"Turning our backs on immigrant communities in our country would not only affect thousands of hard-working families in America and devastate our economy, but would also go against the 14th Amendment of our Constitution. As the Supreme Court affirmed in 1898 in Wong Kim Ark v United States, all persons born in the United States are entitled to the rights of citizenship regardless of race or the immigration status of one’s parents. Some may falsely think they can take a pen and rewrite the Constitution as they please, but we will continue to defend the Constitution against all such attempts.”
