WASHINGTON, DC – Today, Representatives Zoe Lofgren (CA-18), Dave Min (CA-47), and Mike Thompson (CA-04) led 18 of their California colleagues in a letter to Speaker Mike Johnson and Chairman Jason Smith (MO-08) demanding tax relief for Californians. The lawmakers called for no cap on State and Local Tax (SALT) deductions in the GOP’s taxation bill. The letter was first reported by POLITICO. 

The lawmakers wrote, “As the state with the largest economy in the country and the fourth largest economy in the world, California is by far the most generous of the thirteen donor states, meaning its residents paid far more in taxes to the federal government than it received in support. According to a 2022 Rockefeller Institute of Government study, California residents paid $83 billion more in federal taxes than they received in support. This means that for every dollar our constituents pay to the federal government, they get less than 88 cents in return. Our constituents pay more than their fair share of taxes to our nation and deserve tax relief in these difficult economic times.”

The lawmakers continued, writing, “We respectfully request that you honor your commitment to states’ rights and tax relief by not imposing another painful and massive tax on California families and small businesses by creating a new SALT deduction cap.”

The SALT deduction was created at the same time as the federal income tax in 1861 and was the first and only deduction allowed at that time. The SALT deduction has always been seen as the most important tax deduction, and is rooted in the principles of preventing federal overreach into states’ rights and preventing double taxation on hardworking Americans. The SALT dedication is as essential today as it was when it was first introduced in the 19th century.

Representatives Gil Cisneros (CA-31), Lou Correa (CA-46), Jim Costa (CA-21), Laura Friedman (CA-30), Jimmy Gomez (CA-34), Jared Huffman (CA-2), Ted Lieu (CA-36), Jimmy Panetta (CA-19), Linda Sánchez (CA-38), Norma Torres (CA-35), Derek Tran (CA-45), George Whitesides (CA-27), Julia Brownley (CA-26), Salud Carbajal (CA-24), Judy Chu (CA-28), Mark DeSaulnier (CA-10), Sydney Kamlager-Dove (CA-37), and Mark Takano (CA-41), co-signed the letter.

Monterey, CA – United States Representative Jimmy Panetta (CA-19) led a bipartisan group of California delegation members, including Senators Alex Padilla (D-CA) and Adam Schiff (D-CA), demanding the restoration of the Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC) program.  The Trump Administration recently announced its decision to end the BRIC program and cancel all BRIC applications from Fiscal Years 2020-2023, a move that jeopardizes pre-disaster mitigation and infrastructure resiliency efforts in California and throughout the country.

The BRIC program was signed into law by President Trump with the 2018 Disaster Reform Act, helping fund local projects that reduce damage from flooding, tornadoes and other weather-related events.  Since its inception, the BRIC program has invested $5 billion in grants for resilient infrastructure.  Projects in the State of California include drought and earthquake mitigation projects in Kern and Tulare counties and wildfire management projects in Santa Cruz, Napa, Sonoma, and Nevada counties, all of which are still working to recover from the 2020 wildfires that were some of the deadliest and costliest wildfires in the State’s history.

“We are deeply concerned about the impact of this decision,” wrote the bipartisan coalition of Members.  “Ending the BRIC Program will result in higher costs for Americans, especially as natural disasters become more frequent and severe.  The BRIC Program allows the State of California and its many communities to shift away from reactive disaster spending and toward research-supported, proactive investment in community resilience.  We urge you to immediately reverse this decision and do all you can to support the work of this vital program.”

For every dollar spent in pre-disaster mitigation and preparedness, between $6 and $13 is saved in damages, cleanup costs, and economic impact. California stands to lose over $1 billion in promised disaster resilience funding the Administration proceeds with the cancelation of the BRIC program.

Additional signers of the letter include; Reps. Pete Aguilar (CA-33), Nanette Barragán (CA-44), Ami Bera (CA-06), Julia Brownley (CA-26), Salud Carbajal (CA-24), Judy Chu (CA-28), Gil Cisneros (CA-31),  Jim Costa (CA-21), Mark DeSaulnier (CA-10), Vince Fong (CA-20), Laura Friedman (CA-30), John Garamendi (CA-08), Robert Garcia (CA-42), Josh Harder (CA-09), Jared Huffman (CA-02), Sara Jacobs (CA-51), Sydney Kamlager-Dove (CA-37), Ro Khanna (CA-17), Young Kim (CA-40), Mike Levin (CA-49), Sam Liccardo (CA-16), Ted Lieu (CA-36), Zoe Lofgren (CA-18), Dave Min (CA-47), Kevin Mullin (CA-15), Scott Peters (CA-50), Luz Rivas (CA-29), Linda Sánchez (CA-28), Brad Sherman (CA-32), Lateefah Simon (CA-12), Eric Swalwell (CA-14), Mike Thompson (CA-04), Norma Torres (CA-35), Derek Tran (CA-45), David Valadao (CA-22).

Full letter can be found here and below.

Dear Secretary Noem and Mr. Richardson, 

We write with great concern regarding the decision to end the Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC) program and cancel all BRIC applications from Fiscal Years 2020- 2023. Given its impact on the State of California, which stands to lose over one billion dollars in promised resilience funding, we urge you to reconsider this decision. 

The BRIC program, established in the 2018 Disaster Reform Act and signed into law by President Trump, has distributed $5 billion in grants since its inception, driving investment in resilient infrastructure. While we understand and support the need to find efficiencies and improve the BRIC program, these grants save federal dollars and help protect our most vulnerable communities through emergency preparedness.

Projects in the State of California include drought and earthquake mitigation projects in Kern and Tulare counties and wildfire management projects in Santa Cruz, Napa, Sonoma, and Nevada counties, all of which are still working to recover from the 2020 wildfires that were some of the deadliest and costliest wildfires in the State’s history. This BRIC funding, which included a match from local homeowners, would have funded home hardening, defensible space fuels reduction, evacuation route fuel reduction, and landscape-scale fuel reduction work. We are deeply concerned about the impact of this decision. If FEMA decides to ultimately withdraw its federal investment, these counties will be forced to abandon these life- and infrastructure-saving projects. 

Moreover, pre-disaster mitigation and up-front investment saves taxpayer dollars. For every dollar spent in pre-disaster mitigation and preparedness, between $6 and $13 is saved in damages, cleanup costs, and economic impact. We support the Agency’s goal of reducing the amount of federal dollars spent on disaster recovery and believe the BRIC program helps to achieve future cost reductions. Ending the BRIC Program will result in higher costs for Americans, especially as natural disasters become more frequent and severe. 

Consequently, we respectfully request responses to the following questions by June 13, 2025: 

1. How many projects in California will be impacted by this decision?
2. What is FEMA’s timeline and process for cancelling this funding?
3. In a memo, Director Hamilton noted that not all projects will be impacted if they have already commenced. What stage of project completion will allow recipients to continue to receive funding?
4. Former Director Hamilton also noted that FEMA will create a new, similar program. What are the details and timelines for the rollout of this program? 

The BRIC Program allows the State of California and its many communities to shift away from reactive disaster spending and toward research-supported, proactive investment in community resilience. We urge you to immediately reverse this decision and do all you can to support the work of this vital program.

Sincerely,

###

Monterey, CA – United States Representative Jimmy Panetta (CA-19) authored and introduced the bipartisan Law On Offender Transgressions during Emergencies and Recovery (LOOTER) Act of 2025.  This bill would establish federal criminal penalties for theft committed during declared natural disasters.  Co-leading this bipartisan legislation are Reps. Aaron Bean (FL-04), Tom Suozzi (NY-03), and Troy Nehls (TX-22).

Natural disasters often bring out the best in community resilience, but tragically, they also expose people to exploitation.  From recent deadly tornadoes in the South and Midwest, to the Palisades and Eaton wildfires in California, there is a disturbing and consistent pattern of looting in the wake of mass displacement and destruction.  When looting and larceny surge, public safety is compromised, and recovery is delayed. That’s a nationwide problem.

California’s 19^th Congressional District, which Rep. Panetta represents, has experienced the destructive impacts of wildfires, floods, and other disasters.  Rep. Panetta has long advocated for strong disaster preparedness and recovery policies.  The LOOTER Act builds on those efforts to safeguard residents from criminal exploitation.

“As a former prosecutor, I’ve seen firsthand how looting during emergencies only deepens the suffering of disaster victims,” said Rep. Panetta.  “The LOOTER Act would ensure that those who prey on communities during times of crisis face serious consequences under federal law.  Our bipartisan legislation is critical to better protecting disaster-stricken communities, supporting our local law enforcement partners, and sending a clear message that if you loot during a disaster, you will be held accountable.”

“When disaster strikes, you should not have to choose between evacuating for your safety or safeguarding your property.  This bill sends a clear message: We will not tolerate the exploitation of natural disaster victims. I’m proud to join Congressman Panetta in ensuring looters who prey on victims think twice before ever committing such heinous crimes,” said Rep. Bean.

“During natural disasters, our communities are vulnerable—not just to the forces of nature, but also to the few bad actors who seek to exploit tragedy for personal gain.  The LOOTER Act is about protecting our neighbors when they are at their weakest and holding criminals accountable,” said Rep. Suozzi.  “I support this commonsense, bipartisan legislation because it ensures that in times of crisis, law and order will still prevail.  We must send a clear message: If you steal from families during their darkest hour, you will be held responsible.”

“Texas’s 22^nd Congressional District is prone to natural disasters that have had serious effects on our communities and lives,” said Rep. Nehls.  “When Hurricane Harvey hit, I served as Sheriff of Fort Bend County, Texas, and know all too well how natural disasters leave people and their property vulnerable, especially to crime.  This bill ensures accountability for those who take advantage of disaster and ensures justice for those who might fall victim to these low-life crimes.  Thank you to Congressman Panetta for leading this important effort.”

The LOOTER Act would amend Title 18 of the U.S. Code to create clear federal penalties for larceny offenses committed in areas under a federal disaster declaration.  Under the bill, petit larceny during a disaster would be punishable by up to one year in prison, while grand larceny would carry penalties of up to five years.

Washington, D.C. — Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon (PA-05) and Rep. Kweisi Mfume (MD-07) today led 43 House colleagues in condemning the diversion of U.S. Postal Inspection Service (USPIS) resources to assist aggressive deportation efforts by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

The USPIS is the federal law enforcement arm of the USPS, tasked with supporting and protecting the USPS, its employees, infrastructure, and customers by enforcing the laws that defend the United States’ mail system from illegal or dangerous use. The USPIS’ core functions include fighting mail fraud, assaults on postal workers, and the use of the mail system for drug distribution. Reallocation of USPIS’ time and resources to supplement DHS’s operations will severely impact the primary responsibilities of the USPIS.

The USPIS came to the public’s attention during the first Trump administration when it arrested Trump advisor Steve Bannon for mail fraud. A few months later, that administration restricted USPIS’ law enforcement powers. 

“In recent years, chronic underfunding and politicization of USPS functions have seriously restricted the activities of the Inspection Service. The USPIS has cut back on staff and jurisdiction, even as crime against mail carriers is on the rise – having the USPIS take on additional tasks at this time drastically limits their ability to protect their own employees,” the members wrote.

“Using the U.S. Postal Service requires people to share address data, credit card numbers, IP addresses, and other critical financial information that could result in real harm if made public. Millions of Americans depend on the reliability and privacy of the USPS to receive personal items such as tax documents, medication, and mail-in ballots. It is deeply concerning that immigration enforcement agencies have access to the USPS’s sensitive data systems, and the use of the USPS to facilitate deportations raises serious constitutional and civil liberties concerns. The U.S. Postal Service should not be operating as a surveillance arm of federal immigration enforcement,” the members continued.

Amidst ongoing threats to disband the USPS Board of Governors, fire thousands of USPS employees, and fold the USPS into the Department of Commerce, this reportedly placed pressure on the Inspection Service to abandon its primary responsibilities in favor of assisting the administration’s mass deportation agenda. Despite their objections, the Inspection Service is being forced to participate in order to avoid the same fate as other critical agencies, such as the Department of Education or the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

“As Members of Congress, we demand that you terminate any general access by the Department of Homeland Security or any immigration enforcement agency to USPS’s broad data systems. We also ask for a commitment from your administration to refrain from any further actions to undermine the Postal Service’s critical role as an independent, depoliticized agency of the federal government. We appreciate your attention to this matter and look forward to your swift response,” the members concluded.

Washington, D.C. — Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon (PA-05), Ranking Member of the House Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution, today joined Reps. Jamie Raskin (MD-08), Ranking Member of the House Judiciary Committee, Pramila Jayapal (WA-07), Ranking Member of the Immigration Integrity, Security, and Enforcement Subcommittee, Jasmine Crockett (TX-30), Ranking Member of the Oversight Subcommittee, Jerrold Nadler (NY-10), Ranking Member of the Subcommittee on the Administrative State, Regulatory Reform, Hank Johnson (GA-04), Ranking Member of the Subcommittee on Courts, Intellectual Property, Artificial Intelligence, and the Internet, and Lucy McBath (GA-07), Ranking Member of the Subcommittee on Crime and Federal Government Surveillance, in releasing the following statement in response to Justice’s (DOJ) unfounded targeting of Representative LaMonica McIver (NJ-10):

“The targeting of Representative McIver is a blatant attempt to intimidate Members of Congress and to block our oversight of this administration’s actions, which have been enjoined more than 150 times by federal courts. We stand by Representative McIver’s exercise of her constitutional rights and duties. If you come for the legal rights of one of us, you come for the rights of all of us. 

“Members of Congress have the right to conduct oversight, full stop — whether that’s holding Cabinet officials accountable or visiting Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facilities. Representative McIver was performing her proper oversight role, a role she was elected by the American people to do — and even participated in a one-hour tour after the incident occurred. 

“Charging Members of Congress for doing our jobs is a dangerous precedent to set. It reveals the increasingly authoritarian nature of this Administration and its relentless, illegal attempts to suppress any dissent or oversight, including from judges, Members of Congress, and the American people, which check lawless executive power. Representative McIver has our full support, and we will do everything in our power to help fight this outrageous threat to our constitutional system.”

Background:

Section 527 of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2024 (Public Law 118-47) explicitly states that the Department of Homeland Security cannot prevent Members of Congress from “entering, for the purpose of conducting oversight, any facility operated by or for the Department of Homeland Security used to detain or otherwise house aliens […]. The law goes on to state that “Nothing in this section may be construed to require a Member of Congress to provide prior notice of the intent to enter a facility […] for the purpose of conducting oversight.”

Washington, D.C.— Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon (PA-05), Ranking Member of the Subcommittee on the Constitution, today joined Reps. Jamie Raskin, Ranking Member of the House Judiciary Committee and Pramila Jayapal (WA-07), Ranking Member of the Subcommittee on Immigration Integrity, Security, and Enforcement, in leading Judiciary Committee Democrats to demand that the Department of Justice (DOJ) and White House Counsel’s Office provide legal memoranda that reportedly blessed Donald Trump’s efforts to flout the clear text of the Constitution’s Foreign Emoluments Clause in order to justify his accepting a luxury private jet from the State of Qatar without seeking the consent of Congress.

“President Trump is reportedly relying on memos that you authored, at his request, to accept a $400 million airplane from the State of Qatar—described in media reports as a ‘flying palace’ and ‘the most luxurious private jet in the world’—without obtaining, or even seeking, Congress’s consent. Any legal memo purporting to make such a claim would obviously fly in the face of the text of the Constitution’s Foreign Emoluments Clause, which explicitly prohibits the President from accepting any ‘present [or] Emolument . . . of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State’ unless he has ‘the Consent of Congress.’ Accordingly, we are writing to request that you provide the Committee on the Judiciary with these memos immediately as their analysis and conclusions are apparently the basis for the President’s decision to disregard the plain text of the Constitution,” wrote the members.

On May 11, an ABC News report revealed President Trump’s plans to accept a $400 million private jet from the Qatari Royal Family to use as Air Force One—a lavish and unconstitutional gift which he intends to transfer to his personal presidential library foundation at the conclusion of his term.

Reports indicate that the DOJ and White House Counsel’s Office are aiding Trump’s efforts to paper over this clear Constitutional violation and reportedly drafted an analysis for Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth arguing that it is legal for the Department of Defense to accept the aircraft as a gift and later turn it over to Trump’s presidential library.

The Constitution is clear that Congress—not the Attorney General or the White House Counsel—has the exclusive authority to approve or reject a gift “of any kind whatever” given to the President by a foreign government.

Attorney General Pam Bondi’s involvement in this matter is particularly egregious given her clear conflict of interest. Bondi was previously a registered foreign agent of the Qatari government, earning $115,000 per month to lobby on its behalf.

Trump’s acceptance of this unprecedented and unconstitutional gift has sparked bipartisan criticism and outrage, with even Republican Members of Congress and conservative media raising concerns about national security risks and the appearance of corruption. Additionally, this allegedly “free plane” likely will cost taxpayers billions of dollars to overhaul to meet “all the survivability, security and communications requirements of Air Force One.”

Judiciary Democrats requested that Attorney General Bondi and White House Counsel David Warrington provide all documents and communications related to or purporting to justify or provide legal analysis regarding the constitutionality of the President’s acceptance of the Qatari plane; all documents and communications related to an agreement between the State of Qatar and the United States regarding the transfer of the plane; and all documents related to whether Attorney General Bondi should recuse herself in matters related to emoluments from Qatar.

The letter comes after Judiciary Democrats filed a Resolution demanding Trump comply with the Constitutional rules on foreign gifts by seeking the consent of Congress before accepting the Qatari plane.

Washington, D.C. — Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon (PA-05) today released the following statement:

“This weekend was marked by two extraordinary statements from the Trump White House – statements which, in any other presidential administration, would have generated immediate condemnation and dismissals.

“On Friday, White House Senior Advisor Stephen Miller announced that the Trump administration, including the President, was considering suspending habeas corpus – the fundamental constitutional right to have a court determine whether or not someone is being held illegally. The Constitution’s Suspension Clause, the second clause of Section 9 of Article I, specifically states that habeas corpus cannot be suspended, except when an invasion or rebellion endangers public safety. In fact, it has only been invoked four times in the history of our nation, twice during the Civil War, and it is a power that belongs to Congress, not the President. 

“As justification for the suspension of habeas corpus, Mr. Miller cited the administration’s string of losses in the courts, threatening that the administration might suspend habeas corpus depending on “whether the courts do the right thing or not.”

“Although this White House has repeatedly cited non-existent national emergencies to justify its illegal and unconstitutional actions, the suspension of habeas corpus would be a direct assault upon one of the founding principles of our Constitution.

“In addition, on Saturday, ICE agents physically accosted three members of Congress who were conducting lawful oversight at a privately-run Newark detention facility. The mayor of Newark was arrested outside the facility, and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) subsequently announced that it was considering arresting the members of Congress. 

“During the first Trump administration, Congress was forced to pass a law requiring ICE to admit members of Congress for unannounced inspection visits after ICE denied such visits. The members present for Saturday’s visit had waited several hours before armed and masked ICE agents provoked the confrontation with the mayor and arrested him. 

“Of course, these actions come in the wake of other White House attempts to subvert the rule of law and constitutional boundaries, including deporting individuals with no due process and efforts to intimidate courts by, among other things, threatening to impeach judges with whose decisions they disagree and arresting a Wisconsin state judge who challenged ICE’s authority to arrest someone without a judicial warrant.  

“These assaults upon the rule of law – the underpinning of our nation which ensures that all in this country are treated fairly and equally, and that the government is not allowed to act arbitrarily – are part of a growing body of action by the second Trump administration.

“As this administration continues to undertake mass deportations without due process, it is absolutely critical for all Americans to understand that without due process, no one is safe from being falsely accused of being a noncitizen, a criminal, or a threat to national security, and being detained or wrongfully deported to a foreign prison. And in fact, we have seen all three of these scenarios occur already.

“We are at a critical inflection point. Regardless of whether one favors the goals of this administration, the tactics it is using constitute a clear and present danger to the constitutional protections for every American. 

“Congress could put an end to these illegal activities immediately through legislation. This would require some Republicans to put their duty to the Constitution and country over their fear of retaliation by the administration. 

“While Democrats are clear-eyed about the danger presented by this administration’s actions, until a majority of Congress is willing to act, we must rely upon the courts and the community.

“The courts have, by and large, stayed or rejected the White House’s illegal power grabs as they have been challenged in court.

“Americans must continue to reject clear and present dangers to their freedoms as well – at the ballot box, in their outreach to their elected representatives, and in their refusal to stay silent.”
