When it comes to Al, capability is not the same as judgment. Some decisions are simply too important to hand over to a machine. My @CmteOnCCPDems colleagues and I held a first-of-its-kind hearing on the rapid development of Al. We need Al regulations, and we need them now.

96% of people ICE arrested in July did not have a prior violent criminal conviction. These arrests aren’t about safety. They’re about racial profiling. I submitted a Congressional Inquiry into ICE’s presence in Indy and refuse to fund ICE as they terrorize our communities.

After visiting Miami Correctional Facility in Indiana and demanding answers from ICE, I held a Report to the Community to share what we have learned about the conditions inside.    ICE confirmed nearly 800 failures to deliver medication adding to this facility's already troubling record of mistreatment and failure to meet legal standards. The people of Indiana deserve transparency and accountability. ICE detention at Miami Correctional Facility must end.    Hoosiers have organized nearly 60 events across the state for a weekend of public witness to stop ICE detention at Miami Correctional.

After my oversight inquiry into Miami Correctional Facility, ICE acknowledged that detainees missed nearly 800 prescribed medication doses. These admissions raise serious concerns about the conditions inside the facility. I continue to call for an end to ICE detention at Miami Correctional Facility, a full and transparent investigation into injuries and deaths, and accountability for any failures that put lives at risk.

Millions of kids rely on free lunches during the school year but go without in the summer. SunBucks fills that gap - but Indiana won't participate. My Summer Meals for Kids Act would change that. Our kids shouldn't pay the price of adults fighting over politics.

Marion County saw a 17.5% drop in families receiving SNAP benefits over the last year because of Trump's cuts. Grocery prices continue to rise because of Trump's tariffs and inflation.  This administration is taking away funding to help families afford food when food is more expensive than ever.

Today, I shared in a moment of silence on the House floor to honor Amin Abdullah, Mansour Kaziha, and Nadir Awad, who were tragically killed earlier this week in San Diego.   In the face of danger, Amin, Mansour, and Nadir acted with extraordinary courage to protect others and prevent even greater loss of life. Their bravery reflects the very best of our communities and won’t be forgotten. They were heroes, and we will continue to honor their memories.
