The Trump admin is welcoming up to 17,500 white Afrikaners next year while shutting down the U.S. refugee program for thousands fleeing persecution and violence worldwide.
We betray our values when we pick and choose who deserves safe harbor based on the color of their skin.
The Trump administration is planning to welcome up to 17,500 additional White Afrikaners from South Africa as refugees over the next 12 months, according to a notice sent to Congress on Tuesday and obtained by CBS News.
The State Department informed congressional officials that the Trump administration is planning to allocate 17,500 refugee spots for fiscal year 2027, and that they will "primarily" go to Afrikaners, who President Trump has claimed are being oppressed for being White. cbsn.ws/4xCaFUc

I joined Queens’ Nepali community for a candlelight vigil honoring those who lost their lives—and those still missing—after the devastating flooding in Nepal and Tibet.
We mourn with every family grieving, pray for the safe recovery of those missing, and stand with Nepal as it confronts the devastating impacts of climate change.America must be a partner in the recovery.
I will keep advocating for federal aid and will always stand with the people of Nepal and their loved ones here in Queens.
For nearly 20 years, Asian American & Native American Pacific Islander-Serving Institutions have put higher education in reach for AANHPI students. Now they're facing cuts from the Trump admin.
We must keep fighting to ensure EVERY student is set up for success. #AANAPISIWeek

It was wonderful to celebrate the 5th Annual Ohana Walk and another year of bringing our community together in the spirit of family, friendship, and healthy living.
Thank you to ACC Senior Services for continuing to create opportunities for our seniors and families to stay active, connected, and engaged. Five years of the Ohana Walk is a milestone worth celebrating, and I’m grateful to everyone who helped make this year’s event so special!

This week would have been Dr. Jane Wu's 63rd birthday. Instead, her family is grieving after she died by suicide following years of unjust, cruel scrutiny by the Trump administration.
Dr. Wu spent her career pushing the boundaries of neuroscience and building a life in the country she chose to call home. Yet she was treated as a suspect simply because of her ancestry. She was never charged with wrongdoing, and the investigation into her ended without a finding of misconduct. But the damage was already done.
Racial profiling of brilliant scientists destroys lives and careers, drives away talent, and makes our country weaker.
We owe it to Dr. Wu to ensure programs like the China Initiative are never revived and no researcher is ever again treated as a suspect because of where they or their family come from.

This week I joined @ajsocal_ and @jamuseum to discuss the state of immigration in our country.
Trump's anti-immigrant agenda has trampled on the rights and due process of our immigrant communities, particularly AANHPI immigrants. Since Trump took office again, deportations of Asian immigrants have skyrocketed by 1,103%. In 2025 alone, deportations of Southeast Asian elders rose more than 20-fold compared to the year before.
Our immigrant communities contribute to every facet of American life. I will always stand with them.

One month ago, catastrophic flooding tore through communities across northern and central Nepal, devastating 1.6 million people.
Today I led a bipartisan letter with @RepGraceMeng & @CongressmanRaja urging Trump and DHS Secretary Mullin to immediately grant Temporary Protected Status (TPS) to Nepal. TPS will allow Nepalis already in the U.S. to stay and work here while it's too dangerous to return home.
Forcing Nepali families back to a home that no longer exists is cruel. We need to act now.

3 days after DHS made a racist post saying, “you don’t know how to drive Mr. Singh,” a Sikh truck driver was stabbed 17 times at a Wyoming rest stop.
Hateful rhetoric has real-world consequences, and it's putting Sikh & South Asian American lives at risk. nytimes.com/2026/09/20/us/si…
Nearly every House Republican voted to turbocharge the construction of data centers in the Big Ugly Bill.
Now spending on data centers has skyrocketed, while everyday Americans are left footing the bill.

This is a tacit endorsement of Republican Bo French’s xenophobic post attacking South Asian students at a college football game.
This administration isn't even trying to hide its racism anymore. They're making it clear who they believe belongs in America and who they don’t.
