Durbin, Booker, Harris Introduce New Legislation To Combat Overuse Of Solitary Confinement In Immigration Detention
Sen. Dick Durbin, ...
Nov. 14, 2019
Tweet - "My heart goes out to the victims and those traumatized by shootings like the Santa Clarita school shooting today. Sadly, tragedies like this can--and should--be prevented. We must come together as a nation to address the gun violence crisis. There's no other way."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Nov. 14, 2019
Tweet - "ICE is holding far too many immigrants in solitary confinement, which should only be used as a last resort. This is about fundamental human rights--proud to introduce legislation with @SenBooker & @SenKamalaHarris to strictly limit this practice in ICE facilities."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Nov. 14, 2019
Tweet - "Remember--back in August, after the tragic mass shootings in El Paso, Dayton, & Odessa, Pres. Trump & the GOP promised to work with Democrats to address gun violence. But nothing has happened since. No plans presented, no compromises delivered. A tragic failure in leadership."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Nov. 14, 2019
Statements on Introduced Bills and Joint Resolutions
Sen. Dick Durbin
Nov. 14, 2019
Tweet - "Violent hate crimes are being committed in the U.S. at a rate we haven't seen in 16 years. Congress must address this rise in hate. My Domestic Terrorism Prevention Act would help do just that by enhancing our ability to prevent acts of domestic terrorism."

Durbin, Colleagues Statement On DOD OIG Decision To Not Investigate Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative Funding Delay
Sen. Dick Durbin, ...
Nov. 13, 2019
Tweet - "Pres. Trump must raise Pres. Erdogan's cozying up to Putin & abysmal human rights record during their meeting--including violence against the Kurds & the mass detention of journalists, rights activists, & local staff of U.S. Consulates. Pres. Trump can't keep giving Turkey a pass."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Nov. 13, 2019
Tweet - "The President's trade wars are hurting all farmers, but for some reason Pres. Trump's USDA is helping out cotton farmers more than soybean farmers."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Nov. 13, 2019
Tweet - "Good to meet with Philippine Ambassador Jose Manuel Romauldez yesterday to discuss the continued detention of Philippine Senator Leila de Lima and troubling harassment of journalist Maria Ressa. Both should be resolved immediately."

Sen. Dick Durbin
Nov. 13, 2019
Tweet - "Good to see Gambia file suit at the International Court of Justice accusing Burma of genocide against the Rohingya. Senator McConnell should show the same kind of leadership and allow a vote on the bipartisan Burma Human Rights and Freedom Act of 2019 immediately."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Nov. 13, 2019
Tweet - "Troubled by the ongoing violence in Hong Kong. The overwhelming majority of HK citizens aspire for greater political freedom--it's time for Leader McConnell to allow a vote on the bipartisan Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act of 2019."

Sen. Ladda Duckworth, ...
Nov. 13, 2019

Sen. Dick Durbin
Nov. 12, 2019

Sen. Dick Durbin
Nov. 12, 2019
Tweet - "The Supreme Court is hearing oral arguments today in President Trump's case against #DACA. If he has his way, he'll be putting the lives of hundreds of thousands of #Dreamers in peril. We can't let that happen. #HomeIsHere #ProtectDreamers"
Sen. Dick Durbin
Nov. 12, 2019
Tweet - "President Trump's attacks on #DACA and #Dreamers are pathetic. He's trying to destroy the dreams of nearly 800,000 young people who know no home outside of the United States. Regardless of what the Supreme Court decides, we will not let that happen. #HomeIsHere #ProtectDreamers"
