Ilhan has been a US citizen for more than a quarter century—longer than Elon Musk. This weaponization of our Justice Department is unAmerican and despotic. I call on my Republican colleagues to join us in demanding immediate congressional oversight, and consequences for those immigration officials unwilling to carry out their oath to uphold the Constitution.

California’s history began long before statehood. For generations, indigenous communities have shaped our state, cared for our lands, and preserved their histories and traditions. Today, we celebrate their enduring contributions, resilience, and the many ways they continue to shape our country.

Hate in all its forms is un-American and we owe it to our Palestinian neighbors to do better.

Everyone deserves access to the care, support, and resources they need to thrive. This World Mental Health Day, let’s keep breaking the stigma around mental health and make it easier for people to ask for help when they need it. If you or someone you know needs support, call or text 988. You can also find mental health and substance use resources at https://t.co/5j71uH1mk1.

Publicizing executions won't make our communities safer. Research suggests it could do the opposite, increasing violence and desensitizing people to brutality. We should focus on reducing violence, not putting executions on display. https://t.co/Kt8KN5wk7S

We know many families across our community feel anxious right now as they hear about potential increased enforcement. Based on what we’re hearing from our community partners right now, enforcement activity in our district so far has involved targeted arrests, not the large-scale operations seen elsewhere. We maintain close, regular contact with local community organizations, including ALAS, Puente, and Amigos de Guadalupe, so we can respond quickly if that changes. Please continue to utilize the Rapid Response Hotline: 203-666-4472 (San Mateo County) 408-290-1144 (Santa Clara County) and contact our office for further support. Fear and misinformation spread fast, and we will do all that we can to ensure our community has accurate information and knows where to turn.

I got some fresh produce and fresh perspectives in @cityofpaloalto – thanks to Mayor @VickiSVeenker for joining me for office hours at the Farmers Market last weekend, and to everyone who stopped by to share what’s on your mind. https://t.co/z2EoHAVP2X

Today, I join our neighbors at Jewish Silicon Valley in Los Gatos and the @ofjcc in Palo Alto to mourn and remember the more than 1,200 men, women, and children murdered in Israel on October 7th, and the many taken hostage by Hamas. Three years later, that pain endures in the rise of hate at home and abroad and the devastating toll of the war that followed. We must continue to confront terrorism, antisemitism, and hate in all its forms.
