Trump wants to silence me. ICE wants to scare me. But I’m not backing down.

 I showed up in LA to do my job — to conduct oversight, to protect my constituents, and to demand accountability from ICE. They locked the doors. Then they deployed chemical agents. Then Trump’s campaign came after me.

They want to make an example out of me — because I’m standing up to the cruelty they’ve normalized. But here’s the thing: I’m not going anywhere.

This moment isn’t about me — it’s about what we’re up against together.

America is watching.

Major outlets across the country are covering what happened in Los Angeles — and why we won't back down.
