I will always fight for my district and continue to hold the Trump Administration accountable for the nightmare they are forcing immigrant communities across the country to live through.
Luz Rivas will keep fighting for her district and continue holding the Trump Administration accountable for immigration enforcement harms.
Occurrences
History will not be kind to Todd Lyons or this Administration’s treatment of our most vulnerable. Under Lyons’ leadership, ICE has operated with a complete disregard for Americans’ constitutional rights and civil liberties... Because of ICE’s actions, my constituents are terrified to go to work, show up for school, or even leave their house.
I again cast my vote in support of a War Powers Resolution to hold Donald Trump accountable and end his unconstitutional war in Iran.
I will continue to fight against Donald Trump’s illegal orders and political stunts for the dignity of immigrant communities and their rightful place in the American story.
Congresswoman Luz Rivas (CA-29) led 12 of her colleagues in a letter urging the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Financial Services and General Government to eliminate funding for the General Service Administration’s (GSA) ability to lease or sell federal government property to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) or U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP).
My Housing Without Fear Act protects immigrant families – like mine in the San Fernando Valley – from eviction and blocks DHS and HUD from working together to weaponize immigrants’ personal data. Our federal agencies should work together to serve everyone, not carry out the Trump Administration’s racist anti-immigrant agenda.
Congresswoman Rivas has been an active leader in demanding for accountability into ICE. She has conducted oversight visits to ICE detention center facilities in Southern California and has demanded answers from ICE on their treatment of detainees.
There must be an investigation into the deadly actions taken today by Trump’s ICE agents in Minneapolis.
I will keep fighting for my district and continue holding the Trump Administration accountable for immigration enforcement harms.

Assessments
Rivas directly and repeatedly acted in office on the promised issue during the same federal term: oversight visits to ICE detention facilities, accountability letters to ICE leadership, legislation addressing enforcement-related harms, public pressure over DACA and birthright citizenship, and votes/statements opposing expanded ICE funding. Because the promise was framed as continued fighting and oversight rather than a discrete enacted policy result, these sustained same-term actions satisfy the commitment.
This was an ongoing federal oversight and advocacy promise rather than a pledge to enact a single completed policy. In the same congressional term, Rivas repeatedly took concrete actions tied to immigration enforcement harms affecting her district: opposing added ICE funding, conducting or joining detention oversight visits, sending accountability letters, introducing immigration-related oversight/protection bills, pressing USCIS on DACA delays, and holding constituent-facing immigration events. Those actions are enough to satisfy the promise to keep fighting and continue holding the Trump Administration accountable, even though they did not fully remedy the underlying enforcement harms.
The promise was framed as an ongoing oversight and advocacy commitment, not as a guaranteed end to immigration enforcement harms. In her same federal term, Rivas took multiple concrete actions consistent with that promise: she held and participated in district immigration events focused on ICE raids, introduced bills aimed at mitigating enforcement harms, led accountability letters, joined an unannounced oversight visit to an ICE detention center, and voted against additional ICE funding while publicly criticizing the Trump administration's enforcement approach. Those actions show she did continue fighting for her district and trying to hold the administration accountable. Because the promise concerned sustained effort rather than a completed policy outcome, these repeated same-term actions are enough for full delivery.
The promise was to continue fighting for the district and keep holding the Trump Administration accountable for immigration enforcement harms, not to fully solve those harms. The evidence shows repeated same-term oversight and advocacy actions directly aligned with that promise: Rivas held an immigration town hall on ICE raids, introduced immigration-related bills, led a letter to block ICE expansion, joined an unannounced oversight visit to an ICE detention facility, and voted against a bill she said would add major new ICE funding. Because the claim is about sustained effort and accountability activity, these concrete official actions are sufficient to count as delivery within the same federal term.
Rivas took repeated same-term actions directly aligned with the promise: she voted against ICE funding, led a letter to block ICE expansion, introduced immigration-related legislation, held a town hall, and conducted oversight visits and public accountability statements. That is enough to count as continuing to fight for the district and holding the Trump Administration accountable while in office.
Rivas took multiple concrete same-term steps aligned with the promise: she held an immigration town hall, led a letter opposing ICE expansion, introduced bills aimed at immigrant-family protections, and used her office for oversight and constituent support. These actions show sustained accountability work for her district, but the cited evidence does not show a completed policy remedy or fully resolved enforcement-harms outcome, so this is partial credit rather than full delivery.
The promise is an ongoing oversight commitment rather than a discrete policy result. Evidence shows Rivas did continue fighting for her district and seeking accountability for immigration-enforcement harms during the same term: she held an immigration town hall on ICE raids affecting her district, led a congressional letter to block ICE expansion, introduced bills addressing immigration-enforcement-related harms, and sent letters demanding transparency and accountability. These are concrete oversight and advocacy actions tied to the promise. But the record provided does not show a completed accountability outcome or clear resolution of the underlying harms, so this is best scored as partial rather than delivered.
Rivas took same-term action consistent with the promise by participating in a district immigration town hall focused on ICE raids and publicly reaffirming that she would fight for the district and hold the Trump Administration accountable. That is meaningful oversight/constituent-facing effort, but the evidence shows advocacy and public accountability activity rather than a completed oversight outcome such as hearings, investigations, enforcement changes, or enacted remedies. Because the promise is ongoing and broad, this merits partial credit rather than full delivery.
