After a jam-packed district work period, I returned to Washington, DC this week. Here's how I spent this week fighting for you:
1. Denounced Trump's Use of the National Guard
Trump's use of the National Guard is the work of an authoritarian regime, but it's also an expensive PR stunt. It's just not a smart approach to crime.
I was proud to secure $2.5 million for bulletproof vests and squad car technology for our Chicago Police, and I'm going to continue to push for commonsense solutions to crime that work.
I know the ICE raids are sowing fear and confusion throughout our community. My team and I created "Know Your Rights" materials, so you can protect yourself and community members against Trump's ICE campaign. These materials are available in English and Spanish.
We will also have wallet-sized versions available for pickup in my Chicago office soon.
