And your voice made it known.
Kristi Noem slipped on the outrages of ICE.
Kristi Noem slipped on the outrages of ICE. Will this Oklahoma Senator be any better?
We will find out as the Senate exercises its authority under the Constitution to provide advice and consent on this appointment.
Kristi Noem was the face of an unpopular, illegal, outright dangerous mass deportation campaign that claimed the lives of innocent Americans and terrorized more.
Our country expressed outrage, she repeatedly lied before Congress, and even the President finally conceded she was unfit for the job.
ICE has more funding than the Marines, yet there is almost no oversight in how the agency is spending taxpayer dollars.
I joined my colleagues to demand ICE tell us how they are spending YOUR money on their cruel mass deportation campaign.

Senate Republicans just blocked the war powers resolution that would have prevented President Trump from ordering further strikes on Iran unless authorized by Congress.
The Constitution clearly gives Congress the power to declare war. It’s long overdue that Congress step up to its responsibilities.
For 19 years, leaders from Bloomington-Normal have come to Washington to advocate for federal investment in their community.
I had the pleasure of meeting with them today to discuss federal funding opportunities for their local infrastructure needs.
Five days, five different explanations for why President Trump bombed Iran. The only thing that is clear is that this Administration seems to have no plan or strategy.

For nearly two centuries, our great city has shown an endless capacity for reinvention, growth, and dynamism. May Chicago continue to thrive for many more birthdays to come!
Our Founders were wise on this point: one should never send our sons and daughters into war without the consent of the people.
I have made this argument throughout my Congressional career, regardless of if the President is a Democrat or Republican.
Local radio and television stations provide Illinoisans with essential emergency information and informative, entertaining programming.
Today, I met with members of the Illinois Broadcasters Association to discuss how Congress can best support their important work.
Secretary Noem may not know it, but DACA recipients are being wrongfully deported.

Secretary Noem won’t admit she was wrong.
Alex Pretti, Renee Good, and so many other victims of her agents’ use of excessive force are NOT “domestic terrorists.”

I’ve seen the unspeakable cruelty of Secretary Noem and the Trump Administration in Chicago and across the country.
We’ve all seen it.
They are waging a campaign of fear and eroding trust in law enforcement and government.
That’s dangerous.

Illinois watched in horror as masked agents terrorized our streets.
I have Secretary Noem under oath before me right now.
I plan to get answers.
Secretary Noem’s DHS is operating without a moral compass.
She’s finally under oath after months of stonewalling Congress.
While there has been bipartisan agreement on halting Iran’s nuclear program, There is no consensus for a war with Iran.
The President’s impulsive strikes risk American servicemembers’ lives and endanger our allies.
