We have reports of over 170 U.S. citizens that have been detained by ICE under Donald Trump—often without due process or access to a lawyer.
Today, we are partnering with @blumenthal.senate.gov on a hearing to share their stories.

Yesterday, I held a music festival in my district to register voters and speak directly to young people who don’t usually attend political events. 4,500 tickets. Music + advocacy go hand in hand. Madsoul Festival 2025 was a success.
