Sadly, almost all immigrants who have come to America have faced similar prejudice and hate. Muslim Americans, like so many others before them, have made and continue to make positive contributions to our country.
The First Amendment guarantees religious freedom to every American. Congressman Ogles' shameful comments go against the very core values of America, our Declaration of Independence, and our Constitution.
I continue to urge the Speaker to grant unanimous consent to pass Ranking Member DeLauro's DHS bill.

Republicans are acting as if Democrats are the reason federal workers at the law-abiding agencies within DHS have been working without pay.
We may disagree on funding ICE & CBP, but Democrats support funding other DHS agencies such as the Coast Guard, Secret Service, CISA, TSA, among others.
Always great to meet with UMBC President Valerie Sheares Ashby and discuss the steps the university is taking to strengthen higher education in Maryland.
I applaud her staunch leadership and the university's unwavering commitment to supporting their students and our communities across the state.
I demand Trump and Vought to reverse this harmful action to ensure our nonpartisan federal workforce remains the best civil service in the world.
The American people rely each day on the expertise & services provided by our nation's federal workforce, regardless of Administration. Trump & Vought’s efforts to reclassify thousands of civil servants to make it easier to fire & replace them with political loyalists ought to alarm every American.
Honored to be recognized by the Choose Clean Water Coalition for my work to protect the Chesapeake Bay - the beating heart of Maryland.
I thank the Coalition for their advocacy and partnership, and I'll continue fighting for our beloved waterways throughout my final year in Congress.
I'm now accepting submissions for the Black History Essay Contest 2026.
While February may be over, it's important that we continue to celebrate Black Americans & educate others about their history. I invite all #MD05 high school students to participate. Visit my website for more.
As we celebrate International Women's Day, I join to pay tribute to the women who are leading the way in demanding change and building a better future for this country and the world.
Today and every day let us keep fighting for equality, opportunity, and rights for women across the globe.
In his State of the Union address, Trump said our economy is 'roaring like never before.’ But with -92,000 jobs & 4.4% unemployment in February, it's clear our economy is whimpering.
Sadly, Trump's focuses are abroad instead of on how Americans are struggling to stay afloat in this perilous moment.
DHS needs leadership that is committed to defending our Constitution and protecting the American people.
There is more work to do to rein in the lawless behavior of agents in the ICE and CBP agencies Noem oversaw during her time as DHS Secretary.
I strongly urge all U.S. citizens abroad to enroll in STEP to receive the latest updates from the State Department and visit travel.state.gov for the latest travel advisories.
For Americans who need to get themselves or loved ones to safety, fill out this form: mytravel.state.gov/s/crisis-int...
I urge my colleagues to support Ranking Member DeLauro's proposal to accomplish that objective without funding ICE or CBP.

Federal workers within law-abiding DHS agencies shouldn't bear the brunt of ICE and CBP's unconstitutional behavior. They need their paychecks and Americans need their critical services.
As a strong supporter of statehood, I have always advocated for Puerto Rico's right to self-determination, and I will keep working to ensure the people of Puerto Rico can choose their status and their future.

Honored to join the Puerto Rico Equality and Statehood Summit and receive both the Governor’s Medal and the Congressional Puerto Rico Statehood Champion Award.
Women have always been at the forefront of efforts to create a safer, more resilient, and more equal America.
This month and every month, we need to keep standing up against attacks on women's rights and work to make equality and justice a reality for all.
It's been an honor to join the annual Black History Month Breakfast celebrations over the last 45 years, & I cherish this one especially as it was the last I'll have attended in office.
I will remain committed to the fight to recognize & preserve Black History beyond February & my time in Congress.
My full statement on the strikes against Iran:

I am proud to announce the 45th Annual Black History Month Breakfast will feature keynote speaker Dr. Eddie S. Glaude Jr., the James S. McDonnell Distinguished University Professor of African American Studies at Princeton University.
I look forward to joining Rep. Ivey and Dr. Glaude tomorrow.
Wishing a happy birthday to my good friend and colleague, @ivey.house.gov.
I am glad to be your partner in representing Prince George's County and ensuring Marylanders receive the resources and support they deserve. Thank you for all you do to support Prince Georgians.
The federal government requires Americans to pay their taxes, so it ought to give them a free & easy way to do so. That's why I'm leading my colleagues in introducing new legislation to reverse the Admin's decision to end the highly successful Direct File program to help taxpayers save time & money.
I have been proud to support Job Corps throughout my career and am honored to receive their Congressional Leadership award. We'll keep working together so more of our youth can Make It In America.
Glad to meet with young Marylanders who receive mentorship and hands-on job training through the Job Corps program at the Woodland Job Corps Center.
Donald Trump doesn't have Americans' backs. Community leaders like Sandy Washington do.
Sandy, founder and CEO of LifeStyles of Maryland, has worked tirelessly to feed, provide shelter, and find jobs for Marylanders in need. I am honored to have her join me for tonight's State of the Union address.
Tonight, we saw the ramblings of a president who is completely oblivious to the pain the American people feel.
Trump did not offer any solution to the problems he promised to resolve. Instead, he continues to make them worse. Americans understand the perilous state of our union. Trump does not.
Four years ago, Putin launched his brutal, unprovoked, and criminal invasion of Ukraine.
Ukrainians are fighting for democracy's survival in Europe and beyond. I urge my colleagues to sign my discharge petition and advance the Ukraine Support Act. Let us end this war on our terms, not Putin's.
