Rep. Summer Lee retweeted

"Rather than pour billions more into the agency that murdered her, we must abolish ICE and build systems rooted in equity and basic human dignity," @RepSummerLee said after the death of Haitian immigrant Daphy Michel was ruled a homicide. commondreams.org/news/abolis…

Daphy Michel was a human being who happened to be born on the other side of a border. That did not mean she was any less worthy of care, safety, and dignity.
Her death was preventable. We must abolish ICE.

As we approach America's 250th year, we recognize Black labor, Black lives, and Black futures have suffered government-sanctioned harm.
Reparative justice means quality jobs, healthcare, economic opportunity, and so much more.
When Black communities thrive, everyone thrives.

Justice for Leqaa Kordia and all victims of ICE who have been targeted for speaking out against genocide and injustice.
We will continue to say abolish ICE today, tomorrow, and for as long as it takes.
Thank you @RepRashida for convening us.

Today’s Ed and Workforce hearing tried to weaponize inclusive policies that simply give kids—disabled, marginalized, and queer kids—a fair shot.
These policies work to reverse systemic discrimination and meet the needs of all students. Why are my colleagues so against that?

Last night, House Republicans handed ICE and CBP billions more while families struggle to afford rent, groceries, child care, and healthcare.
Congress shouldn't be writing blank checks for cruelty while everyday people are being crushed by rising costs.
I voted no.

Proud to announce that I'm joining the House Judiciary Committee, where some of the biggest fights of our time are happening.
Protecting rights. Defending democracy. Fighting for survivors. Taking on Trump, his admin & every abuser of power.
Accountability just got a new seat.

Survivors of Epstein's abuse have been fighting for justice for decades. No matter how unwilling any perpetrator or supporter of this coverup is, we will not let up.
The fight for accountability will continue.

For generations, the @AlleghenyYMCA has served North Side neighbors with housing, care, and community.
Today’s reopening means this historic space can serve even more folks with the access they deserve.
Proud to have secured $1M for these accessibility-rooted renovations.

A man at Moshannon spoke out about abuse & neglect. ICE and GEO threw him in solitary, cut him off & transferred him.
This is retaliation. It’s how Trump punishes dissent, silences the truth & disappears detainees.
Shut ICE down. Shut Moshannon down.

Today, I asked the NLRB Chairman if he’d oppose a White House liaison at the agency.
He affirmed his belief that the NLRB is an independent agency and said he’d have no option to oppose White House interference “other than to resign.
The NLRB must remain an independent agency.

The U.S. is supporting Israel’s invasion, bombing, and mass displacement of the Lebanese people.
Americans don't want their tax dollars funding another illegal and devastating war.
I urge Congress to vote yes on @RepRashida's War Powers Resolution to put an end to it.

The House just passed an Iran War Powers Resolution to rein in Trump’s unchecked power.
This is a win for the American people who don’t want to be in another endless war.

When @RepDeluzio and I conducted oversight at Moshannon Valley Detention Center, a woman told me she was sexually assaulted. Another had no idea the status of her pregnancy because she’d been denied medical care.
That is the reality of detainees. Moshannon must be shut down.

Happy Pride Month!
To every LGBTQ neighbor in PA-12: you are not a wedge issue or a political talking point. You are our family, community, and future.
And I’m proud to stand with you, not just this month, but every day, in the fight to live freely, fully, and without fear.

Today Pam Bondi continued to deflect and evade accountability for her mishandling of the Epstein files—but justice doesn’t have a time limit.
We will continue to center the survivors and fight for the truth.

Zombie mines pollute our waterways and threaten public safety, and it's past time we address them. Proud to introduce a package of bills with @RepDeLuzio and @RepDonBeyer to strengthen bonding requirements, protect waterways, and ensure that land is fully reclaimed after mining operations end.
Our communities shouldn't face consequences for the actions of coal corporations. Grateful to Appalachian Voices and our partners in this work.
