I joined @RepDeborahRoss and @ValerieFoushee in North Carolina for a shadow hearing focused on voter protection and election security.
We heard from experts and community leaders about the issues affecting election administration and access to the ballot.

North Carolina's answer: Oct. 15–31, you can register and vote in the same visit.
Moved? Dropped from the rolls? Fix it on the spot and vote before you leave.
Register the normal way by Oct. 9.

Yesterday, I joined @RepJayapal, @RepDeborahRoss, @RepNikema, and @RepHankJohnson for an oversight visit of the Stewart Detention Center in Georgia.
As many of detainees held at the ICE processing facility in Cary are being transferred to this facility, it was critical that we understand the conditions and how ICE is treating people in custody.
Though ICE refused to answer basic questions throughout the visit, we cannot unhear the heart-wrenching stories about ICE’s cruelty that we heard from those being held at Stewart.
As a cosponsor of the Melt ICE Act, I will continue to advocate for a humane immigration system. And that starts with the defunding and dismantling of this rogue agency.

Yesterday, I had the opportunity to visit the Stewart Detention Center here in Georgia with my colleagues @RepNikema, @RepJayapal, @RepDeborahRoss, and @RepValerieFoushee.
Stewart Detention Center has a long history of denying basic human dignity and rights to detainees and more oversight is needed. ICE has already tried to spin a narrative around our visit based in lies and deception, instead of dealing with the inhumane conditions faced by countless individuals held in ICE custody.
Regardless of your politics and your stance on immigration, we should all be able to agree that everyone, including detainees here at Stewart and across the country, deserve to be treated with human dignity and respect. That's not what's happening in Trump's America.

Our nation has long struggled to keep pace in foreign language proficiency, which threatens our ability to equip the next generation with the proper tools to become civil leaders.
I’m joining @RepDeborahRoss and @RepJimmyPanetta in introducing the Advancing International and Foreign Language Education Act to support foreign language and international education programs at colleges and universities.

House Republicans' immigration bill would criminalize kids whose parents overstay their visas.
And we’re supposed to trust an out-of-control administration that defies court orders to use that power responsibly? Not a chance. @RepDeborahRoss explains:

🚨IMPEACHMENT TIME: Rep. Deborah Ross says Congress has a duty to impeach Trump AGAIN as he continues to abuse his power and spread election lies.
“For the historical record… we do not want to let this behavior go without accountability.”
Congresswoman Deborah Ross retweeted
🚨BOMBSHELL: Rep. Deborah Ross says Todd Blanche and the DOJ quietly changed Bureau of Prisons policy AFTER Ghislaine Maxwell’s transfer because it violated the original rules.
“He was trying to COVER IT UP.”
This should disqualify Blanche from ever becoming Attorney General.

Reaction from @RepDeborahRoss on Duke Energy pulling out of the offshore wind Carolina Long Bay project:
"Another offshore wind project cancellation that could have lowered costs, created jobs, and powered homes. Instead, the Trump admin is giving Duke Energy millions in taxpayer dollars to invest in other types of energy.
I've been investigating whether these conditional cancellations violate the law. I will continue demanding answers."
Ross recently called these type of moves "bribes" in a letter to President Trump:

SCOOP: House Dems led by @RepDeborahRoss want answers about a recent policy change at the Federal Bureau of Prisons, arguing leaders at the DOJ are trying to “cover their tracks” following the August transfer of #Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell to a lower-security facility.
