The Gámez-Cuéllar family has been released. We are taking them now to reunite with their son Antonio.

When I returned to the Dilley trailer prison today, I brought my colleagues in Congress to meet with the children and families and to bear witness to their stories.

📍 𝐍𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐀𝐋:

Three people died in ICE detention within four days, raising new concerns about medical care and oversight inside immigration detention facilities.

At least 11 people have died in ICE custody in 2026 so far, according to detainee death reports.

2 Teen Mariachi Musicians Released From ICE Detention

"Two teenage brothers and mariachi stars who visited the White House last summer were released with their family on Monday from an ICE detention center in South Texas"

Families seeking safety deserve dignity, not detention.

ICE locked up a deaf kid without his hearing aids—and wouldn't let him have them back Rep. Eric Swalwell is working to help the family seek humanitarian parole.

New from me at @motherjones.com: Today, @ericswalwell.bsky.social said he's working to help the family of a Deaf kid seek humanitarian parole so he can continue attending CA School for the Deaf–and his staff brought his hearing aids to Colombia for him to use. www.motherjones.com/mojo-wire/20...

​"They told me the story of the congresswoman bringing them to Washington to which i asked, is she helping you? is she helping you get out of here? is she doing anything to help? and they specifically said no"

That congresswoman is Monica De La Crux from TX-15

The Gámez-Cuéllar family has been released from Dilley! We just picked them up.

Caleb and Joshua are OUT of the Dilley detention center. Now, we need to keep up the pressure to shut down Dilley for good.

Stories like hers are why I’m demanding accountability inside ICE detention centers—even when officials try to block congressional oversight—and why I’ve fought for 10+ years to shut down the Adelanto ICE Processing Center. Proud to join @senatorsrp.bsky.social in fighting back against these abuses.

Masuma Khan has lived in Altadena for nearly 30 years.

Last year, despite having no criminal history, she was detained by ICE and denied the medication she needed to breathe. Her family contacted my office, and we successfully advocated for her release.

BREAKING: Two more people have died in ICE detention, per required notification to Congress.

DHS detains US citizen from Evanston at O'Hare, releases her in Wisconsin after nearly 2 days The woman's family said federal agents told them that she was not in custody despite her phone location previously showing her at the Broadview facility.

📍 𝐂𝐇𝐈𝐂𝐀𝐆𝐎, 𝐈𝐋:

A U.S. citizen was detained by DHS at O’Hare Airport for about 30 hours after returning from a work trip. She was transferred to an ICE facility before being released in Wisconsin, with officials citing only “curious travel history.” #AbuseOfPowerWatch

DHS can be funded tomorrow if Republicans put in basic safeguards to rein in ICE.

They want a blank check. Not happening.

But told the House, that between January and September 2025, they had detained 270 DACA recipients.

So, which one is it? @sylviagarcia.house.gov and I are demanding answers!

Whether in Congressional hearings, responses to Congressional inquiries, and face-to-face meetings, DHS disregards the law and lies about it. Despite DACA protections, DHS reported to the Senate they had detained 261 DACA recipient between January and November, 2025...

Minnesota’s Hennepin County Launches Online Portal Tracking Abuses of Power By ICE and CBP County Attorney Mary Moriarty said the initiative is already tracking more than a dozen incidents, including one involving Border Patrol official Greg Bovino.

Hennepin County, MN has launched a portal where everyday Americans can document potential abuses by federal immigration agents.

Despite the admin's claims that operations are winding down, Minnesotans continue to be targeted. "Community-based monitoring remains critical," writes @tusk81.bsky.social

This sure doesn’t look like “America first” to me.

While Americans spent the weekend watching gas prices rise because of his illegal war with Iran, Donald Trump spent the weekend golfing.

America’s sons and daughters are being put in harms way because of his rogue and reckless actions, and this is how he is spending his time.

Even after news of the removal of DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, the Trump administration’s anti-immigration agenda continues unchanged.

Recent reporting from the past several days continues to make clear that changing the messenger does nothing to change the agenda.

The Trump/Miller mass deportation campaign is making us all poorer, weaker, and less safe.

U.S. Catholic Bishops Continue Rebuking the Trump Administration On Immigration From defending birthright citizenship in the courts to condemning ICE’s warehouse scheme, U.S. Catholic bishops have made clear they’re siding with immigrant communities.

ICYMI from @tusk81.bsky.social: U.S. Catholic bishops are speaking out forcefully in defense of immigrants and their families.

"The path forward is not more cruelty and bluster, but instead humanity and solutions, they say."

The math is not adding up and Rep. @ramirez.house.gov is demanding answers from DHS.

DHS reported 270 detained DACA recipients to the House but 261 detentions to the Senate in the same period.

How many more Dreamers have had their protections violated?

At Largest ICE Detention Camp, Staff Bet on Detainee Suicides, AP Reports Camp East Montana has received several 911 calls in the span of five months about immigrants trying to harm themselves.

Staff at the nation’s largest Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility have placed bets on which detainee will be the next to die by suicide, according to new reporting from the Associated Press based on 911 calls and detainee accounts.

Dreamers are part of the fabric of this nation.

Rep. @ramirez.house.gov calls on Democrats and Republicans alike to prove it by protecting Dreamers and passing a pathway to citizenship.

“It is past time to make it happen.” #HomeIsHere

Trump wants to paint Dreamers as "the worst of the worst." But less than 14% of those detained up by DHS last year had violent criminal records.

Here’s who Dreamers actually are.

Sen. @padilla.senate.gov: "They're school teachers, they're caregivers, they're nurses and doctors... and more."

"The United States government made a promise over 13 years ago... Straightforward, a promise."

Despite keeping their end of the bargain, Dreamers are now being swept up in this administration's mass deportation campaign.

Watch Sen. @padilla.senate.gov’s remarks on the government's broken promise.
