Congressman Juan Vargas

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.

The NY Federal Reserve confirms what we've known: Trump's tariffs are responsible for rising costs. Trump promised to lower prices on day one — his economy is crushing families.

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.

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.

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.

I am disgusted by this. Antisemitism, hate, and bigotry have absolutely no place in our communities.

Schools should be a safe place for kids to learn, NOT the backdrop to immigration enforcement. Thanks to my San Diego delegation colleagues for standing with me to demand an end to ICE enforcement near campuses.

Wishing everyone observing Yom Kippur here in CA-52 and across the globe a meaningful day and an easy fast. G'mar Chatima Tovah.

Disgraceful. Climate change is here and now, causing extreme weather and devastation. We need action to tackle the climate crisis and ensure we’re leaving a better world for the next generation.

Trump also promised DOGE checks and tariff checks. Neither happened. This Administration isn't offering real solutions to help families struggling in Trump's failed economy. Just more empty promises.

Mail-in ballots are a safe and secure way to vote. Donald Trump himself voted by mail last month. This is a win, and we’ll keep fighting to protect this right for all.

From Forbes - 'It's Outrageous': Juan Vargas Blasts GOP Over $40 Trillion National Debt, Rising Cost of Living Under Trump and Republicans, billionaires get tax cuts while families across the country struggle to make ends meet. It's beyond unacceptable.

25 years ago, September 11th changed our nation forever. Today, we remember and honor the thousands of lives lost, the survivors, the families whose lives were forever changed, and our brave first responders who rushed towards danger to help others. We will #NeverForget.

On Labor Day, we honor the workers throughout our history who fought for dignity on the job and their accomplishments, including the 8-hour workday and safer working conditions. I'm committed to ensuring that every worker’s voice is heard in Congress.

As California knows, mail-in ballots are a safe and secure way to vote. We’ll keep fighting to protect this right for all.

It was great to join Southwestern College to celebrate the grand opening of its new transit hub, which will help improve access to the Chula Vista campus. I’m proud to have secured half a million dollars in federal funding to help make this project a reality.

Oswaldo Pirela is a husband, a father, and a minor league coach for the Padres. He came to this country legally, sought asylum, and has built a life here. ICE just detained him. This is an outrage, and Oswaldo should be reunited with his family immediately.

For too many families, access to affordable housing is out of reach. That's why I fought to pass the most comprehensive housing reform package in decades to boost our housing supply, increase homeownership opportunities, and lower costs. It's now law.

The Constitution is clear. Birthright citizenship is a guarantee in this country. No executive order from Donald Trump will change that. This must be rejected.

I am proud to sign onto legislation to force a vote on the American Dream and Promise Act. Dreamers strengthen our communities, contribute to our economy, and have built their lives here. It's past time for permanent protections and a pathway to citizenship for Dreamers.

Thanks to Trump and Russell Vought, the CFPB is protecting big corporations and special interests - not consumers. This is totally wrong. We need accountability.

Our landmark housing affordability package - including my bill - passed the House and Senate with overwhelming support. Trump refused to sign it. It just became law anyway. This is a big win for families across the country.

Two deadly ICE shootings in less than a week. A month ago, Republicans in Congress gave ICE another $70 billion as they continue to terrorize our communities. I'm absolutely outraged. We must NEVER accept this as normal. We need a full investigation, accountability, and justice.

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was a husband, father, and longtime Houston community member. Trump’s ICE shot him on his way to work. His family deserves a full and independent investigation and accountability.

One year ago Republicans passed a Big Ugly Bill that cut food assistance for millions. It's sickening. No one should be going hungry so the wealthiest can get another tax break.

DOGE was a disaster from day one. It created chaos and gutted services people relied on. There was a huge cost to human lives, and it was past time for this failed experiment to come to an end.

I hope everyone had a safe and happy Fourth of July! As we celebrate our nation's independence and the shared values that bring us together, we also reaffirm our commitment to fighting for a more perfect union. 🎆

🚨 The Supreme Court just rejected Trump's attempt to limit birthright citizenship! Birthright citizenship is a constitutional right. End of story. If you're born on U.S. soil, you're a U.S. citizen. That's something no President can take away.
