ICYMI: Rep. Meeks Grills Treasury Secretary, Continues Fight Against Termination of TPS for Haitians, Calls for ICE Agents to Unmask, and Holds Telephone Town Hall

Rep. Meeks Presses for Answers Over Foreign Investments Made to the Trump Family Company, World Liberty Financial

This week, I pressed Secretary Scott Bessent on serious questions about potential conflicts of interest and lack of transparency surrounding a company controlled by the Trump family. Foreign-linked investors poured $500 million into this company days before Donald Trump took office. These overlapping interests raise clear national security concerns. I asked for real answers and the administration offered only smoke and mirrors.

Rep. Meeks Applauds Ruling to Temporarily Block the Trump Administration's Attempt to Terminate TPS for Haitians, Continues to Fight for TPS Extension

From the beginning, I have condemned the Trump administration’s efforts to end Temporary Protected Status for Haitians. Earlier this week, a federal judge temporarily blocked the administration from ending TPS for over 350,000 Haitians in the country—yet the fight is far from over.

Rep. Meeks Calls for ICE Agents to Unmask in Our Communities

This week, Democratic leadership sent a clear message to Speaker Johnson and Leader Thune that what we’re seeing from ICE is unacceptable and Congress has a responsibility to act. The letter lays out basic guardrails: requiring judicial warrants, banning masks, mandating visible identification, protecting sensitive locations, upholding strict use-of-force standards, and ensuring body cameras are used for accountability, not surveillance. It also makes clear that states and local communities must retain oversight, and that no one, especially U.S. citizens, should be wrongfully detained. Masked DHS and ICE agents are completely unacceptable in a democracy. Law enforcement must be identifiable and accountable to the public.
