Hi Jason, Last week, I questioned ICE and DHS officials at a committee hearing. My point was simple: since ICE uses factors like race, ethnicity, or language as a factor in deciding who to question and detain, would that be enough for me to become a target?  Here's what I said: "Mr. Lyons, I speak Spanish. If I wasn't wearing my member pin, would me being a Latina, or speaking Spanish, be enough for ICE agents to harass me or shove me into your unmarked cars?" I will never stop fighting for accountability from ICE, from the Trump administration, and from DHS. Now more than ever, we need leaders who are willing to step up, ask difficult questions, and speak out against injustices.  The best way to do this is to retake the House this fall, and we know this seat is a top-targeted seat by national Republicans. Winning in NJ-09 is imperative to take back the House and force change in this administration.  So, I need your help.
