This is pure desperation from Trump. It's another baseless attempt by this Administration to stoke fear and undermine confidence in our elections. It will not work. Our elections belong to voters, NOT Trump.

ICE enforcement near schools in San Diego isn't making us safer. It's just terrorizing our students. I led the SD Congressional delegation in calling for an end to this, and it was an honor to have Senator Schiff in San Diego last week to make it clear: ICE doesn't belong anywhere near our schools.
Glad to join Sweetwater Authority to celebrate National City Wells’ new treatment system. Investing in reliable local water infrastructure is an investment in the future of our communities. I’m proud to have helped secure over $950,000 in federal funding to help improve water quality.
Our nation’s story can’t be told without the story of the Indigenous communities who first called this land home.
On Indigenous Peoples' Day, we honor their history, contributions, culture, and resilience.
We must continue to work towards a future firmly rooted in justice and equality.
I fully agree with the Catholic bishops and other faith leaders. I would expect to see this from a terror group or dictator, but not here in the United States.
The Defense Department’s announcement that it would live-stream the execution of Fort Hood shooter Nidal Malik Hasan reverses decades of established practice surrounding the death penalty. The announcement has raised many legal and ethical questions. https://wapo.st/4dx3CoZ

The long-deployed USS Lincoln returns home to San Diego Bay
The USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier has returned home to San Diego Bay after a record-setting uninterrupted time at sea supporting the Iran war.
Absolutely disgusting and deranged. The families that call San Diego home - including over 115,000 active duty service members - are not a "small price to pay." This is unacceptable coming from the President of the United States.
Trump: "With the war, it's just artificial. It's a little bit high. It's a small price to pay ... let them take out Los Angeles, let them take out San Diego. This is a very small price to pay."
Health care premiums skyrocketed this year because Republicans refused to extend ACA tax credits that help Americans afford their health insurance.
Republicans continue to prioritize the needs of their billionaire friends over hardworking American families.
This is exactly why I demanded answers on CoreCivic’s recent sale of the Otay Mesa Detention Center to the government and questioned why DHS purchased OMDC for $739.2 million – more than four times more than the property’s assessed value of $168 million. (1/5)

Local lawmakers demand ICE end immigration enforcement near schools
The lawmakers note several other incidents involving ICE actions near schools, including last school year.
School should be a safe place for students to learn and grow.
But since the start of the school year, there have been multiple incidents where ICE agents have detained parents and students near campuses across San Diego County.
It's unacceptable.
