Sen. Dick Durbin
April 11, 2018
Tweet - "Morning read: I've received radio silence from the Burmese Embassy on multiple requests for answers on this. Imprisoning these @Reuters journalists is a blatant attempt to suppress the ghastly truth of genocide in Myanmar. I'll continue to urge for their safe release."

Executive Session
Sen. Dick Durbin
April 11, 2018

Sen. Ladda Duckworth
April 8, 2018

April 6, 2018
Tweet - "President Trump's trade wars will hit agriculture hard in Illinois and across America. That means unnecessary hardship for farmers, and more expensive food for all of us."

Letter to Thomas D. Homan, Acting Director of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement - Policy Allowing Increased Detention of Pregnant Women
Sen. Dick Durbin, ...
April 5, 2018
Facebook - "President Donald J. Trump is no friend of the American farmer and the escalating trade war with China highlights this point. My friends at the Illinois Farm Bureau agree with me that the "Trump tariffs" are negatively impacting "Illinois" and "Midwest" hog and soybean farmers. IFB's Vice President Brian Duncan discussed it with CNN. I will keep fighting every day for Illinois farmers (and Midwest farmers) and will continue working to expand opportunities for them to bring their products to market without burdensome foreign tariffs. Trump's misguided and ill-conceived trade war with China and other nations will have a massive and negative impact on Illinois and Midwest farmers and rural communities. In particular, two newly announced Chinese tariffs will dynamically impact Illinois pork producers and soybean growers. Illinois is home to more than 40,000 soybean growers and 2,000 pork producers. These new tariffs, which are a direct result of President Trump's flawed rhetoric and policies, will cripple farmers who are already struggling under record-low commodity prices. Instead of working to empower and grow rural communities and farming families, the President's policies are at risk of killing their livelihood and ending Illinois' rich family farming tradition."
