We are all grappling with the heinous anti-Semitic attack on the Tree of Life Congregation in Pittsburgh.
Words matter and political rhetoric that condones violence and intolerance cannot be normalized.
There has been an acute global increase in anti-Semitic incidents in recent years, often taking place in the form of violent attacks, bomb threats, vandalism, and hateful rhetoric spanning all levels of society.
Federal, state, and local officials must act swiftly to protect communities of all faiths and ensure that these acts are punished to the fullest extent possible.

Nearly a million Dreamers across the country have come out of the shadows because of the promise that DACA represented, including more than 7,000 from New Mexico.
These are some of our brightest students and veterans who came forward based on the promise that our government would not deport them and provided personal information about themselves and their families.
However, Dreamers across the country continue to face a harsh uncertainty about their future and are worried that the information they shared will be used against them. To do this would be an extraordinary and unprecedented breach of trust by our government.
