“I’m fighting back against the Trump Administration’s reckless immigration policies that undermine our values and create chaos instead of solutions. Maryland families expect the government to do two things at once: keep our communities safe and live up to America’s values. We can and must do both. That means restoring order at the border, enforcing the law fairly, and modernizing a broken immigration system so it works for our economy and our security.”

“The Trump Administration has announced plans to build a border wall near the Rio Grande River stretching a wide swath of the Big Bend region.

We need a leader in Congress who can be trusted to stand up to the Trump Administration and fight for the Big Bend region.
