Politician
May 8, 2019
Tweet - "In the midst of the worst refugee crisis in history, President Trump has abandoned our nation's longstanding bipartisan commitment to provide safe haven to the most vulnerable refugees in the world. Shameful."
Sen. Dick Durbin
May 7, 2019
Tweet - "A year ago the Trump Admin announced full implementation of its family separation policy. What resulted was a humanitarian disaster that will have permanent health & human consequences. We can never let the President re-start this failed & cruel policy. #FamiliesBelongTogether"
Sen. Dick Durbin
May 3, 2019
Tweet - "I've been working for years to close the legal loopholes that have allowed war criminals to find safe haven in our country. Republicans and Democrats in Congress have a responsibility to come together on a bipartisan basis to finish the job."
Sen. Dick Durbin
May 3, 2019

Rep. Chuy Garcia
April 25, 2019
Letter to Secretary Pompeo, Secretary of State - Reps. Frankel, Torres, Roybal-Allard, Lofgren Oppose Anti-Immigrant State Department Nominee
Rep. Bill Foster, ...
April 17, 2019
Letter to Sen. Richard Riley, Chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee, Sen. Patrick Leahy, Ranking Member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, Sen. Shelly Moore Capito, Chair of the Homeland Security Subcommittee of the Senate Appropriations Committee, and Sen.

Sen. Ladda Duckworth, ...
April 13, 2019
Tweet - "This is another sad example of President Trump's cruel and failing approach to immigration and border security. Using migrant families and children as pawns in a political game will never solve the challenges we face at our border, it will only exacerbate them."
Sen. Dick Durbin
April 11, 2019
Tweet - "I read the Trump Administration's own travel advisory saying it's unsafe to go to Venezuela on the Senate floor yesterday. If the President truly cared about the Venezuelan people, he'd grant TPS status to Venezuelans already in the U.S. so they're not forced to return to danger."
Sen. Dick Durbin
April 11, 2019
Letter to Rep. Lucille Roybal-Allard, Chair of the Homeland Security Subcommittee of the House Appropriations Committee and Rep. Chuck Fleishmann, Ranking Member of the Homeland Security Subcommittee of the House Appropriations Committee - Representative Adriano Espaillat Requests $10 Million to Equip CBP Agents with Body Cameras for Accountability
Rep. Chuy Garcia, ...
April 10, 2019
Tweet - "Proud to join @ChrisCoons & @RepJudyChu to make clear that President Trump's travel ban does not reflect our core values as a nation. Let's #RepealTheBan and pass the #NoBanAct."
Sen. Dick Durbin
April 10, 2019
Executive Calendar
Sen. Dick Durbin
April 10, 2019
Tweet - "President Trump has abandoned America's bipartisan tradition of offering safe haven to refugees fleeing persecution. That's why I've introduced a bill to prevent any President from lowering refugee admissions to an unacceptable level. It's about our values as an immigrant nation."
Sen. Dick Durbin
April 10, 2019
Letter to the Hon. Kirstjen Nielsen, Secretary of Homeland Security and the Hon. Alex Acosta, Secretary of Labor - Senators Raise Concerns Over H-2B Visa Abuses That Enable Exploitation

April 10, 2019
Tweet - "The travel ban continues to separate families and hurt communities every day. It's time we #RepealTheBan. Read about the heartbreaking human stories behind the ban:"
Sen. Dick Durbin
April 9, 2019
Tweet - "Bringing back a failed and ghastly family separation policy would be the height of irresponsibility and heartlessness."
Sen. Dick Durbin
April 9, 2019
Tweet - "Despite saying the Venezuelan govt is a threat to its people, Sec. Pompeo wouldn't commit to letting Venezuelans already in the US stay under Temporary Protected Status. I suspect it's because of this President's aversion to refugees & immigrants. It shouldn't be a hard choice."
Sen. Dick Durbin
April 9, 2019
Quigley, Rice Introduce Legislation to Reform Visa Laws and Increase National Security
Rep. Mike Quigley
April 8, 2019
Tweet - "While President Trump falsely claims "Our country's full" to turn back children fleeing gang & sexual violence, he quietly allows businesses, like Mar-a-Lago, to import 30K new foreign workers to take American jobs. The hypocrisy is not surprising but it is still appalling."
Sen. Dick Durbin
April 8, 2019
Tweet - "As Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen departs, the Trump Administration now says it will take up to 2 years to identify thousands of separated families, even though she falsely claimed, "We do not have a policy of separating families at the border." Disgraceful."
Sen. Dick Durbin
April 7, 2019

Sen. Dick Durbin
April 3, 2019
Tweet - "I have met hundreds of Dreamers who are giving back to their communities as teachers, nurses, engineers & soldiers. I've also had Dreamers work in my office as volunteer interns. They're dedicated to public service & it makes no sense to deprive Congress of this homegrown talent."
