Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus

We must call out hate, whenever and wherever it appears.

Congress approved funding for colleges and universities that serve large minority student populations. Now the Trump administration is diverting that funding—illegally. Chair @meng.house.gov and Senator @hirono.senate.gov, along with their Tri-Caucus colleagues, are demanding answers.

Happy Filipino American History Month! We honor the history and heritage of #OR06's Filipino community and celebrate their tremendous contributions to our nation. As your Congresswoman, I will continue to uplift the stories and voices of Filipinos and all Oregonians.

Hate incidents targeting Muslim, Sikh, Hindu & Buddhist communities are rising, yet FBI data fails to reflect this reality. We need a whole-of-government effort to combat hate by restoring millions in grants Trump cut and ending his violent immigration enforcement tactics.

Really, Secretary Rubio? Half a million hateful posts targeting South Asians appeared on X/Twitter since Trump took office. Anti-Indian hate is on the rise, and this administration needs to acknowledge its role in fueling it.

Days after a white supremacist planned a mass shooting at a Hindu temple, new ICE deputy chief of staff Micah Bock is promoting ‘remigration,’ a far-right plan to expel minorities from Western nations. This is the Trump administration's racist agenda on full display.

Trump’s termination of TPS for Nepali immigrants threatens to deport them to flood-ravaged areas while stripping away their health care. For pregnant women like Aarti, the consequences are devastating. ⬇️

Trump’s reckless war of choice has kept gas above $4 for 163 days. A new record.

We are horrified at the news of a mass shooting plot targeting Indian Americans at a Hindu temple in Illinois by a white supremacist & self-proclaimed Neo Nazi. Thankfully, the plot was foiled, but this is a reminder of the work still ahead to eradicate hate-fueled violence.

Since Trump took office: 💣 War in Iran 📦 Crushing tariffs 🏥 Rising health care costs ⛽ Soaring gas prices 🛒 Sky-high grocery bills 🚨 ICE terrorizing communities Is America great again yet?

CAPAC Leadership Statement on Mass Shooting Plot Targeting Indian Americans at Hindu Place of Worship

Trump took $20 million of your taxpayer money to pay for his campaign ads. Let that sink in.

On Indigenous Peoples’ Day, we honor the rich histories, cultures, and resilience of Indigenous communities, including the millions of Native Hawaiians who continue to enrich our shared future.

No American should ever be treated as collateral damage, and it is unacceptable for any president to suggest otherwise.

Over 4,000 books were challenged last year—40% of which discuss the experiences of people of color, including AANHPIs, and the LGBTQI+ community. We cannot stand by as our voices are silenced. This Banned Books Week, we celebrate our right to share our stories and experiences.

Thanks to President Trump and Congressional Republicans, millions of Asian Americans have lost their health care coverage in the last year. Hear Lily’s story from New York. @familiesusa.bsky.social

Native Hawaiian women have the highest rates of breast cancer among AANHPI women. This is exactly why we need disaggregated data: to identify health disparities and ensure every community has access to the care they deserve. #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth

Four plainclothes ICE agents forced an Asian woman into an unmarked van while she was crying out for help. No badges. No uniforms. No clear identification. How is this any different from a kidnapping?

Asian women face higher rates of violence at home and abroad, driven by centuries of racism, exoticism, and fetishization. Women deserve to feel safe. We need to address the systemic harms impacting Asian women and end this cycle of violence.

The Trump admin is turning the IRS into an immigration enforcement tool by adding a citizenship question on next year’s tax returns. Taxpayers already need a Social Security number or ITIN to file. This will only deter more people from filing their taxes at all.

Unemployment rose. Previous job gains were revised down. And families are still getting squeezed by high prices. Trump promised more jobs and lower costs. He delivered neither. Working families are paying the price for his broken promises.

This administration has done jack squat to lower costs for working people.

The Immigration and Nationality Act was signed 61 years ago—ending a racist quota system & welcoming immigrants who built the diverse and vibrant America we know today. CAPAC is fighting to protect these immigration pathways so future generations can achieve the American Dream.

Our nation is seeing a disturbing rise in racism and xenophobia against Sikh & South Asian Americans. No one should feel unsafe in their home because of their faith, identity or color of their skin. It is incumbent on all of us to stand up to anti-Asian hate, wherever it appears

This Filipino American History Month, we honor Filipino Americans’ invaluable contributions to our country since their first recorded arrival in Morro Bay in 1587. Together, let’s celebrate the generations of Filipino Americans whose leadership and culture enriches our nation.

The Trump admin is welcoming up to 17,500 white Afrikaners next year while shutting down the U.S. refugee program for thousands fleeing persecution and violence worldwide. We betray our values when we pick and choose who deserves safe harbor based on the color of their skin.

For nearly 20 years, Asian American & Native American Pacific Islander-Serving Institutions have put higher education in reach for AANHPI students. Now they're facing cuts from the Trump admin. We must keep fighting to ensure EVERY student is set up for success. #AANAPISIWeek

Trump is spending $1.8 billion on his vanity projects—not the American people.

Joint Statement from Tri-Caucus Chairs on the Trump Administration Diverting $235 Million in Grants for Minority-Serving Institutions:

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival! To all celebrating, may this season of gratitude bring peace, happiness, and good company. Wishing you and your loved ones a joyous festival! 🥮

In the Marshall Islands, “manit” means custom. On this Manit Day, we honor the stories, traditions, and customs of the vibrant Marshallese community. 🇲🇭

Wishing you and yours a happy Mid-Autumn Festival filled with joy, gratitude, and lots of delicious food! 中秋快乐! 추석 잘 보내세요! お月見を楽しむ! Chúc quý vị một mùa Trung Thu ấm áp!

Today I led a bipartisan letter with @meng.house.gov & @congressmanraja.bsky.social urging Trump and DHS Secretary Mullin to immediately grant Temporary Protected Status (TPS) to Nepal. TPS will allow Nepalis already in the U.S. to stay and work here while it's too dangerous to return home.

3 days after DHS made a racist post saying, “you don’t know how to drive Mr. Singh,” a Sikh truck driver was stabbed 17 times at a Wyoming rest stop. Hateful rhetoric has real-world consequences, and it's putting Sikh and South Asian American lives at risk.

House Republicans went on vacation without taking action to lower costs for working people.

Dalip Singh Saund was the first Sikh, Punjabi, Indian and Asian American elected to Congress in 1956. Today, we celebrate his birthday and his enduring legacy of showing that our democracy is stronger when people from every background have a voice in government.

⚠️ Diesel prices are UP ⚠️ Gas prices are UP ⚠️ Heating oil prices are UP ⚠️ Electricity prices are UP All because President Trump’s war of choice with Iran.

It is unconscionable that CBP continues to employ Officer Luis Uribe, who was found guilty of sexually assaulting and robbing four women of Chinese descent. He must be fired immediately and held fully accountable for his crimes.

Janine and I are horrified by the attack on Mr. Singh, a Sikh truck driver and member of our Sacramento community who was stabbed 17 times at a rest stop in Wyoming. Read my full statement condemning this brutal act: bera.house.gov/news/press-r...

The Trump administration gave ICE officers guns and badges without conducting background checks, credit screenings, or any sort of basic vetting. Then they deployed these unqualified, untrained ICE agents to terrorize and racially profile our neighbors. Deplorable.

Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander women earn as little as 67 cents for every $1 paid to white, non-Hispanic men. This #NHPIWomensEqualPayDay, we’ll recommit to fighting for equality, strong worker protections, and opportunities to build economic security for NHPI women.

During Hispanic Heritage Month, we celebrate the rich contributions of Hispanic and Latino communities to our nation. This month and always, we stand with @hispaniccaucus.bsky.social to celebrate the diversity that makes our country stronger.

What’s more American than rooting for your college football team? Bo French’s problem is that these kids don’t look like HIS version of America. South Asian Americans are American. Period. Our shared identity shouldn’t be determined by skin color.

More than half of all the people ICE arrested in July did not have a criminal record. They are not going after the ‘worst of the worst.’ They’re deporting grandmas, cancer patients, and hardworking immigrants just to meet arbitrary deportation quotas. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

On the 25th anniversary of September 11, we honor those we lost and the heroes who put their lives on the line to save others. #NeverForget
