Statement on the Synagogue Massacre
Once again, I condemn in the strongest terms all acts of violence and terror and rhetoric advocating such violence or terror. The attempted attacks on Congresswoman Maxine Waters, President Barack and Michelle Obama, President Clinton and Secretary Clinton, CNN, John O.

Washington, D.C. (Oct. 24, 2018)—Today, Rep. Elijah E.

I have joined with 71 other members of Congress in sending a letter to Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Alex Azar condemning the Trump Administration’s transfer of more than 1,600 children in the dead of night to an Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) tent city in Tornillo, Texas. The letter also expresses concern that sponsors for these children may face increased enforcement actions and arrests, due to increased sharing of information between HHS and DHS. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen is copied on the letter.
