Homan: "People need to understand ICE officers and Border Patrol don't need probable cause to walk up to somebody, briefly detain them, and question them ... based on their physical appearance."
Congressional Caucus on Black Women and Girls Statement on Black Women's Equal Pay Day:
This #BlackWomensEqualPayDay is a reminder that the pay gap Black women face every day didn’t happen by accident – it’s the product of centuries of exploitation designed to deny Black women what they’re worth and deprive them of what they deserve.

This is disgusting rhetoric from a Member of Congress against his colleague. In this volatile political climate where lawmakers continue to face violence, hate speech like this can put a target on anyone's back.
Call this reckless and racist behavior out for what it is.
I'm sure it is difficult to see us welcome the killer of so many of your fellow Muslim terrorists.
The only shame is that you serve in Congress.

Happy Independence Day! Every 4th of July, we celebrate the democracy this nation fought tirelessly for and was founded upon. These freedoms didn’t come easily and must not be taken lightly. If we hope for them to endure into tomorrow, we have a duty to protect them from the threats they face today.
I condemn Trump`s Big Ugly Bill and every Republican who voted for it.
Trump`s Big Ugly Bill will have devastating impacts on everyday Americans. While House Democrats are voting NO, we just need four of our colleagues across the aisle to have the guts to do the same.
Hear from one of my constituents Richard whose daughter`s health is being put in grave danger just to fund tax breaks to the President`s billionaire buddies.
It`s not too late to call your representatives and let them know they must vote "NO!"
Apparently Republicans don`t have the votes to pass Trump`s Big Ugly Bill!
Democrats are not going to lie down and accept Donald Trump and the GOP’s war against working people. We are UNITED in our opposition to their cruelty.
So I ask my Republican colleagues – are there FOUR of you who have the moral and intestinal fortitude to stand with us and protect American lives?
My colleagues and I will not rest until Trump`s Big Ugly Bill is thrown out in the trash where it belongs.
