Senate Judiciary Democrats 🇺🇸

Donald Trump has nominated a slew of radical, unqualified U.S. Attorney nominations. Ed Martin. Lindsey Halligan. Alina Habba. Darin Smith. Phil Williams and Dan Bishop are just the latest. UNQUALIFIED AND RADICAL.

Dan Bishop, a Trump U.S. Attorney pick, is an unqualified MAGA extremist and election denier. He said just THIS MONTH that LGBTQ+ people don’t deserve equal protections under the law. Senate Judiciary Republicans just rubberstamped his nomination.

Sen. DURBIN: The Trump Administration created the ‘fraud enforcement’ division out of thin air. The Justice Department already had offices to prosecute fraud. They systematically dismantled them. Meanwhile, Donald Trump is doubling his net worth and pardoning fraudsters.

@SenJudiciaryGOP Yes, because the biggest fraud is in the White House. ❤

BREAKING: EVERY Judiciary Committee Democrat just voted NO on President Trump's highly-qualified nominee to fight fraud and rescue Americans' hard-earned tax dollars. Combating fraud is not – and should not be – a partisan issue.

Yes, because the biggest fraud is in the White House. ❤

13 people have died in ICE detention this year. 30+ people died in ICE detention last year. This is a crisis.

A man who fought with American forces in Afghanistan just died in ICE custody. He fought for ten years on behalf of the United States. Just to lose his life after one day in ICE custody.

JUST NOW: I’m calling out how Director Patel’s use of government planes for parties and golf trips makes Americans less safe.

A 19-year-old just died from an apparent suicide in ICE detention.

BREAKING: Two more people have died in ICE detention, per latest notification to Congress.

HEARTBREAKING. A schoolteacher just shared what one sixth grader wrote about what ICE is doing to her community. “Where is the justice for all?” 💔

Sen. HIRONO: I want to make it very plain. Senate Democrats support the funding of FEMA and TSA, but we don’t support funding ICE without guardrails to prevent lawlessness.

Sen. DURBIN: You’re Somali? Somali-American teenager: I am. Durbin: The President spoke about “sh*thole” countries. What was your community’s reaction? Teenager: I love my community because we fought back. At first, anger and hurt. Then, we advocated.

Sen. BLUMENTHAL: What’re your reactions to the reports of children detained in Dilley? Immigration law expert: It’s deplorable. Children don’t have access to clean drinking water, nutritious food, or medical care. They’ve found live worms in their food.

The right to a defense is a cornerstone of our judicial system. Gideon v. Wainright established that right. The first former public defender to serve on the Supreme Court displays a copy of Clarence Gideon’s petition in her office. Justice for all.

The Supreme Court ruled unanimously in Gideon v. Wainright on this day in 1963. All criminal defendants have a right to counsel.

Clinical psychologist: The psychological burden created by uncertainty, family separation, and chronic fear profoundly shape children’s development. The effects of immigration enforcement ripple outward across families, classrooms, and entire communities.

Immigration law expert: My youngest clients have been 1- and 2-year-olds. Children have been arrested and detained across the United States. From January to October 2025, 3800+ children were arrested by federal immigration authorities, including 20 infants. 1700+ were detained.

Somali-American teenager: Alex Pretti, Renee Good, and Keith Porter were murdered at the hands of ICE agents, and the Trump Administration demonized them. People were deported, students were impacted. But it’s not criminals or terrorists. It’s people like me.

First grade teacher: As educators, we’re in the business of protecting our students. But we shouldn’t have to protect them from the federal government. Schools shouldn’t feel like war zones. Kids were asking me what tear gas does. Attendance dropped.
