If Republicans wonโ€™t conduct oversight on Trumpโ€™s illegal immigration actions, I will.

As Ranking Member of the Immigration Subcommittee, Iโ€™m conducting shadow hearings โ€” and yesterday, we held a hearing on the administration's arrests at immigration courts.

Trump to strip protections from millions of acres of national forests The Agriculture Department said it would begin the process of rolling back protections for nearly 59 million roadless acres of the National Forest System.

Trumpโ€™s decision โ€œwill open up vast swaths of largely untouched land to logging and roadbuilding, including about 30% of the land in the National Forest System โ€” encompassing 92% of Tongass, one of the last remaining intact temperate rainforests in the worldโ€ฆโ€
