Millions of people were left vulnerable to mass deportation because of Congress’s failure to act since Reagan.

I joined @aliciamenendez.bsky.social to share my experiences with the Border Patrol — and why we should all be on alert as they take over ICE operations nationwide. We can enforce immigration law without terrorizing communities.

Americans want immigration laws enforced — not violent crackdowns. Democrats need to offer a credible alternative to Trump’s approach. Read more on solutions here: arosaflores.substack.com

We do not have to terrorize communities to enforce immigration law. We need to rethink how ICE conducts enforcement, not lie to the public that violence in communities is the only way.

I joined @omarjimenez.bsky.social to discuss the latest on El Salvador

It was an honor to support the new Errol Morris documentary Separated, and join @jacobsoboroff.bsky.social on a panel to discuss the fact that our immigration laws do not prevent the horrors of Trump’s family separation policy from happening again.

Looking forward to the DC premiere of Separated, where I’m joining a panel discussion about the future of border policy. Tickets are still available!
