These are very disturbing reports from LA's Roybal Federal Building. Law-abiding asylum seekers — many with kids — are being detained after showing up for routine ICE check-ins. No food. No water. Locked in holding rooms for over 12 to 24 hours. 🧵1/8 These are not criminals. These are families who followed the rules. Filed the paperwork. Showed up on time. Instead, they're being treated like they broke the law just for seeking asylum.  2/8

Over 27,000 TPS holders in LA worked on the frontlines of the pandemic to keep our city running.

With TPS protections set to expire, we cannot wait to act. Today, I joined @Carecen_LA @TPS_Alliance to call on @POTUS to protect millions of #TPS holders who call our country home. ImageImageImageImage Our country has a moral obligation to help people fleeing violence & persecution in other countries.

The Biden administration must redesignate TPS protections for recipients from El Salvador, Honduras, Nepal, Nicaragua, and Haiti. 2/4

Congressman John Lewis was a man of immeasurable character, a civil rights icon who amplified the collective voices of a nation throughout his lifetime. His commitment to dismantle hatred and oppression in all its forms inspired generations...(1/4) ...and it was his shoulders we stood on in our fight for justice. His strength and resolve, showcased during the Nashville sit-in movement, the Freedom Rides, and the March on Washington, gave us the momentum to carry on and taught us the fortune of “good trouble.” (2/4)

On this historic day for #LGBTQ rights in our country, I’m going to #ShareTheMic with my brother Gerry:

The #SCOTUS ruling that the Civil Rights Act of 1964 provides workplace protections to #LGBTQ folks is a monumental move toward #EqualityForAll in America. (1/4) #ShareTheMic

Personally, as a gay man working in education, I’m reminded of the work done by Harvey Milk and his allies in defeating the Briggs Initiative that would have banned lesbian and gay teachers and their open supporters from teaching in public schools. (2/4)

#COVID19 has created new & complex obstacles in securing a #2020Census where EVERYONE is counted.

As @OversightDems Vice Chair, I recognize that states like California need certainty & there’s no time to waste.

That’s why I introduced the Fair & Accurate Census Act. ⬇️ It should be a no-brainer for @HouseGOP & @WhiteHouse to support seeing as @SecretaryRoss asked Congress to delay deadlines.

The Fair & Accurate Census Act extends key data collection deadlines & allows @uscensusbureau flexibility to keep their field staff safe & healthy. ⬇️ Image
