It was an honor to join @BAPS and so many of our neighbors this past weekend!
Our Indian-American community is a pillar of Hudson County, strengthening our communities through service, faith, and traditions that bring us together.
Grateful for the warm welcome and the opportunity to share in this special celebration. 🙏🫶
Really, Secretary Rubio? Half a million hateful posts targeting South Asians appeared on X/Twitter since Trump took office.
Anti-Indian hate is on the rise, and this administration needs to acknowledge its role in fueling it.
Days after a white supremacist planned a mass shooting at a Hindu temple, new ICE deputy chief of staff Micah Bock is promoting ‘remigration,’ a far-right plan to expel minorities from Western nations.
This is the Trump administration's racist agenda on full display.

Our Hindu neighbors, along with Sikhs, Muslims, and the south Asian community throughout #TX07 and the U.S., have the right to worship and to do so without fear.
I am deeply concerned by @CongressmanRaja's story and stand with him in opposition to these hateful threats.

I led 105 lawmakers in demanding the FBI investigate the attempted mass shooting at my family’s Hindu temple in Aurora as a potential hate crime.
We must confront the rising tide of anti-Indian hate and the online threats putting our communities at risk.

Trump’s termination of TPS for Nepali immigrants threatens to deport them to flood-ravaged areas while stripping away their health care.
For pregnant women like Aarti, the consequences are devastating. ⬇️

Last Friday, I joined @RepRobertGarcia and my California colleagues for an unannounced oversight visit to the Adelanto ICE Processing Center.
What we witnessed was appalling, and consistent with the neglect I have been sounding the alarm about for the past decade: filthy living conditions, dirty water, moldy food, tattered mattresses, and inadequate medical care.
Every day Adelanto remains open is another day lives are in danger. SHUT IT DOWN NOW.

Higher diesel means EVERYTHING in your life is more expensive:
- Food
- Everyday retail items
- Shipping costs
- Heating your home
- Airfare and travel
This is Trump’s war tax on you. Enough is enough.
The price of the fuel, used by farmers and truckers, is up more than 75% since the start of the Iran war in late winter. Diesel costs have become a particular concern for economists, who say higher diesel fuel costs trickle down into “just about everything.” nbcnews.com/business/economy…
Trump took $20 million of your taxpayer money to pay for his campaign ads. Let that sink in.
The White House confirmed that President Trump does not plan to reimburse the federal government for the taxpayer money already spent on what he’s called “Patriotic Ads.”

Statement in connection with the egregious raid on Rep. Ilhan Omar’s home.
On Indigenous Peoples’ Day, we honor the rich histories, cultures, and resilience of Indigenous communities, including the millions of Native Hawaiians who continue to enrich our shared future.
Over 4,000 books were challenged last year—40% of which discuss the experiences of people of color, including AANHPIs, and the LGBTQI+ community.
We cannot stand by as our voices are silenced. This Banned Books Week, we celebrate our right to share our stories and experiences.
Thanks to President Trump and Congressional Republicans, millions of Asian Americans have lost their health care coverage in the last year.

More than 30% of children entering Head Start come from families who speak a language other than English at home.
Now, @HHSGov wants to eliminate longstanding language protections that help these kids learn and their families participate in their education.
The research is clear: supporting a child’s home language helps them learn English and succeed in school. That’s why I led @RepGraceMeng, @RepEspaillat, @RepYvetteClarke, @RepStricklandWA, and @RepJuanVargas in demanding Secretary Kennedy withdraw this harmful proposal.
