The CHC stands with @TheBlackCaucus Chair @RepHorsford in condemning the racist comments made by Rep. Clay Higgins and supports his call for censure. Hateful speech from elected officials is never acceptable, especially when it endangers innocent lives.

CAPAC stands united w/ the Haiti Caucus, @TheBlackCaucus , & @HispanicCaucus to condemn false, hateful, & dangerous lies directed at Haitian immigrants. Perpetrated by Trump & Republicans, these disgraceful lies seek to sow division within our communities. We won't stand for it.

The Trump administration’s failed "China Initiative" program painted academics of Chinese descent as spies for the CCP, leading to the racial profiling and wrongful arrests of innocent researchers. Watch testimonies from 3 university professors affected by the initiative:

Our national security deserves to be taken seriously. But the Republicans' "China Initiative" has undermined the scientific community by often baselessly going after Chinese Americans and immigrants. It's giving McCarthyism.

Today, CAPAC Members urged @ShalandaYoung46 & @OMBPress to help federal agencies implement the updated Statistical Policy Directive 15 so our government will better understand the outcomes and needs of our diverse AANHPI communities. Read their letter:

Immigrants have shaped the foundations of U.S. civil rights, innovation, and history, and keep America thriving. Today on #ConstitutionDay and #CitizenshipDay , we recognize how immigrant communities have enriched American life and stand firm in rejecting all forms of xenophobia.

Took to the House floor to oppose Republican efforts to reinstate the China Initiative. It's dangerous, it scapegoats & targets immigrants & Asian Americans, and I will continue to stand with @CAPAC against this bill & all legislation that promotes blatant xenophobia & racism.

With precious little time to fund the government, Republicans launched a partisan ‘China week’ that does nothing to improve our competitive advantages to the Chinese Community Party but would violate the civil rights of Asian Americans. My full statement:

Republicans could have used this week to fund our government. Instead, they wasted time on shameful bills that: - Undermine and damage our national security & global competitive edge - Racially profile immigrants & Asian Americans

RIGHT NOW I am going to the House Floor to vote NO on H.R. 1398. This bill is the new McCarthyism. It reinstates Trump's China Initiative, which harmed the research community & led to the racial profiling and targeting of Asian American scientists for investigations and arrests.
