Yesterday I
was in a House Oversight hearing on immigration where Mayor Wu made our
city proud. She represented Boston as the welcoming, vibrant, and diverse
city we call home, and the safest major city in America.

Meanwhile, Republicans pushed rhetoric that is both harmful and false.

I’m not one to sit by as Republicans spin a narrative that demonizes our
immigrant neighbors. I’ve been in Congress for 6 years now and know how to
navigate these hearings. I spoke up to correct the record by reading a
headline from Quartz: “Data from Texas show that US-born Americans commit
more rape and violent crimes than immigrants.” As a survivor of sexual
assault myself, it was important to me to voice the facts.

Rather than respecting my procedural right to speak as a member of the
Oversight Committee, Republicans attempted to silence me.

I got shouted down by the Chair, Jim Comer, simply because he didn’t want
to hear this headline read out loud. Why? Because it doesn’t align with
the lies and disinformation he and Republicans are peddling.

Donald Trump and Republicans are ignoring facts to dehumanize and
criminalize immigrant families. But I will not be silenced and I will
always press to correct the record with facts and data.

I’m proud to call Boston home. And I’m proud to stand up for everyone who
calls Boston home. Our city is a vibrant, safe, and welcoming place. Don’t
let Fox News tell you otherwise.

Trump allies from using baseless lies to exact harm, it'll take all of us.
Will you pitch in whatever you can to fuel this fight?
