Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus

Statement from CAPAC Chair Meng on the Passing of Congresswoman Colleen Hanabusa:

Masked, militarized ICE agents are disappearing people off the streets, deporting law-abiding immigrants, and killing U.S. citizens.

DHS funding must come with real oversight & accountability for ICE—not a blank check for a rogue agency to keep terrorizing our communities.

We do it for them. ❤️ #WomensHistoryMonth

My remarks on the War Powers resolution.

Trump fires Kristi Noem as DHS chief, names Sen. Markwayne Mullin to replace her Stepping in as acting secretary is GOP Sen. Markwayne Mullin of Oklahoma who Trump said had "Wisdom and Courage required to Advance our America First Agenda."

Kristi Noem’s firing didn't happen by accident. It was the result of millions of Americans, including CAPAC leaders, demanding her removal.

This is just the start. We must keep fighting for accountability & oversight regardless of whose name is on the door. Keep the pressure on.

The Secretary of State shouldn't have to beg the media for help to get Americans back safely. He should have had an evacuation plan from the start.

CAPAC Chair @meng.house.gov & @reptedlieu.bsky.social urged the Dept. to use all possible resources to help stranded Americans return home.

U.S. servicemembers are dead because of Trump’s reckless war with Iran. Does he care that more are likely to come? Absolutely not.

And this from the man who promised to end forever wars.

The Administration is urging Americans in the Middle East to depart immediately when many embassies, airports, and airspaces are already closed.

Where is the evacuation plan?

Wishing all who celebrate a Happy Holi filled with music, dancing, and lots of colors!

The Page Act of 1875 was the first federal law designed to ban Asian women and laborers from the U.S. & paved the way for the Chinese Exclusion Act.

Instead of learning from this hateful chapter in our history, this administration is repeating those same mistakes. Shameful.

On Guam History and Chamorro Heritage Day, we celebrate the history, culture and traditions of the Chamorro people. Biba Mes CHamoru!

Trump is living in a golden fantasy land.

Nurul Amin Shah Alam should be alive today. He is dead because U.S. Border Patrol agents abandoned a blind refugee miles away from home and then lied to cover it up.

Reps. Kennedy, Meng, Raskin and Thompson are demanding answers from DHS.

Happy Women’s History Month!

This month, CAPAC will be highlighting Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander women throughout history who have helped shape our country into what it is today. Stay tuned!

My full statement on U.S. military action in Iran👇

If you are born in America, you are American—full stop.

As the Supreme Court considers the legality of President Trump’s Executive Order to eliminate birthright citizenship, Chair @meng.house.gov led 216 Members of Congress in urging SCOTUS to defend this bedrock principle.

President Trump promised to lower costs and keep our communities safe. One year later, families are paying more and feeling less secure. 
  
Today, CAPAC held a press conference calling out Trump’s broken promises to Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders nationwide.

Joint statement from CAPAC Chair @repgracemeng and Rep. Tim Kennedy on the death of Nurul Amin Shah Alam:

The Trump administration is denying small businesses access to capital in order to further its anti-immigrant agenda, harming the 3 million+ AANHPI small businesses that power the economy.

CAPAC Chair @meng.house.gov is demanding the SBA reverse this decision immediately.

Did you catch @tokuda.house.gov’s jacket at the State of the Union? Here's why she wore it.

President Trump had an opportunity tonight to unify our country and put aside the partisan rhetoric. Instead, he spent nearly two hours spewing lies and stoking hatred.

As we celebrate America's 250th birthday, let's not forget that Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander history *IS* American history. #SOTU

The so-called SAVE America Act will make it harder for women, people of color, low-income Americans, deployed servicemembers, individuals with disabilities, and people with limited English proficiency to vote.

It's voter suppression. Full stop. #SOTU

Republicans control the House, Senate, and White House.

After one year of unified control, what do they have to show for it besides government shutdowns, higher costs and broken promises? #SOTU

The administration paused visa processing for 75 countries, attacked birthright citizenship, halted asylum decisions, and even canceled naturalization ceremonies.

It was never about coming here the 'right way.' #SOTU

President Trump is spewing more racist lies. Calling Somali Americans pirates and thieves is despicable and beneath the dignity of the office of the President. #SOTU

You can’t claim you're “protecting” Social Security while laying off customer service workers, closing field offices, and making it harder for millions to access their benefits. #SOTU

Trump: Energy bills would be “cut in half” within a year.

One year later and electricity prices have surged 11%. #SOTU
