WASHINGTON, D.C. — Representatives Lauren Underwood and Brian Fitzpatrick (PA-01), together with Senators Katie Britt (R-Ala.) and Cory Booker (D-N.J.), reintroduced the NIH IMPROVE Act, bipartisan legislation to ensure consistent funding for research on maternal care and mortality.

In 2019, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) launched the Implementing a Maternal health and PRegnancy Outcomes Vision for Everyone (IMPROVE) Initiative. The IMPROVE Initiative supports research to reduce preventable causes of maternal deaths and improve health care for women before, during, and after pregnancy.

However, this critical research program lacks a sustained funding source, threatening research outcomes and conclusions. The NIH IMPROVE Act would authorize consistent funding for this existing program for the next seven years, providing NIH the support and resources to pursue research into the root causes of America’s maternal mortality crisis.

“Six years ago, we worked with the National Institutes of Health to start the IMPROVE Initiative to make smart investments in comprehensive research and evidence-based solutions that save moms’ lives and advance birth equity,” said Representative Lauren Underwood. “Since 2019, IMPROVE has invested more than $200 million in life-saving research that will help end our nation’s maternal health crisis. Our bipartisan NIH IMPROVE Act will advance maternal health research by permanently authorizing funding for IMPROVE, making sure that NIH can continue this critical work.”

“Far too many maternal deaths in America are preventable, and addressing that reality demands research that is stable, long-term, and grounded in measurable outcomes. The NIH IMPROVE Act locks in the dedicated funding NIH’s maternal health portfolio needs to track outcomes over time, evaluate what works in high-risk settings, and direct resources to the communities facing the greatest challenges,” said Representative Brian Fitzpatrick. “This bipartisan legislation strengthens a proven NIH initiative and ensures that mothers across our nation benefit from research that saves lives and improves care throughout the entire pregnancy journey.”

“I’m proud to fight for moms and women across Alabama and America. This bipartisan legislation will support targeted funding for critical research to improve health outcomes for women throughout their pregnancy journey,” said Senator Katie Britt. “I’m committed to ensuring the NIH remains the gold-standard of research and provides solutions to improve health outcomes for women before, during, and after pregnancy.”

“Studies show that 80% of maternal deaths are preventable, and the NIH IMPROVE Act is a critical step forward in addressing our nation’s ongoing maternal health crisis,” said Senator Cory Booker. “This bipartisan legislation expands research and strengthens data collection so we can better understand how to save lives and close long-standing disparities in care.”

The NIH IMPROVE Act would authorize $53.4 million annually for seven years to carry out the IMPROVE Initiative and support research on potential causes of maternal mortality and severe morbidity. Additionally, the act would approve research that would target disparities associated with maternal mortality and severe morbidity, and aim to reduce preventable causes of maternal deaths, as well as build an evidence base for improved care and outcomes in underserved maternal care deserts.

BROADVIEW, IL—Today, Representative Lauren Underwood, Ranking Member of the House Homeland Security Appropriations Subcommittee, conducted an oversight visit to the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Broadview Processing Center, one of the primary facilities used to hold Illinoisians during Operation Midway Blitz. Underwood’s visit marks the first time that a member of Congress has been granted access to the facility since Donald Trump took office, despite repeated requests that were previously denied by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The visit follows widespread community outrage at Operation Midway Blitz’s constitutional violations and ongoing questions about federal immigration enforcement practices across Illinois and the nation.

Underwood received a briefing from leadership of the Chicago Field Office and toured the entire facility, including intake rooms, holding spaces, and officer work areas. The visit occurred as dozens of constituents across her community continue to report being detained, confronted, or questioned by federal personnel. For weeks, the Illinois delegation received no timely responses to basic inquiries regarding the safety or location of constituents impacted by the operation.

“Families in our community are living with fear and confusion because of Operation Midway Blitz. They deserve answers about what is happening inside these facilities and what authority DHS is using,” said Underwood. “My visit confirmed serious concerns about conditions, staffing, recordkeeping, and transparency. I will continue pressing for accountability and immediate corrective action.”

During her visit, Underwood was informed that the Broadview Processing Center employs twenty-two staff, the same number as before the operation. The facility previously operated Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. but now runs seven days a week with significant overtime and plans for a third shift. She was informed that contracted officers at Broadview work for Paragon, which also supplies contracted personnel to the Federal Building in downtown Chicago and the ICE downtown Chicago processing center. Underwood was told that both sites are preparing for substantial expansion, including a potential reconfiguration of Broadview to accommodate temporary workspaces. Broadview Processing Center will reportedly be used as a training facility for newly hired Deportation Officers, due to the high volume of detainees. 

Although Broadview is a processing center rather than a long-term detention site, the Trump Administration has used it to detain individuals for longer than DHS policy allows. Consistent with community and media reports, Underwood observed holding areas that did not meet ICE’s detention standards. Toilet stalls had three-foot tall privacy barriers, only providing privacy for those seated. Some holding rooms had space for more than thirty people but lacked showers. Staff reported that individuals were held for two to three nights in October 2025, far beyond the twelve-hour limit that DHS waived for all processing centers in June 2025.

DHS staff informed Underwood that there are no medical staff on site at Broadview. Officers call 911 for emergencies. The facility is reportedly seeking assistance from the ICE Health Service Corps or a private medical contractor, but no timeline was provided. This gap places individuals with chronic medical needs at significant risk.

Underwood examined paper intake forms that track basic arrest information, including the arrest team, whether the arrest was targeted or collateral, and whether the individual had medication or identification on their person. All intake information is still collected on paper rather than electronically. This raises concerns about accuracy, completeness, and accountability. It remains unclear whether ICE is logging all arrests connected to Operation Midway Blitz or consistently documenting encounters involving United States citizens.

Officers reported that there were no individuals present during the visit due to a scheduled security system video camera update. They also confirmed that the facility received an oversight visit from a magistrate judge and the ACLU approximately two weeks ago. Recent detainee populations included individuals from Mexico, Colombia, Venezuela, El Salvador, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, Nicaragua, and several African countries. Detention beds for women is limited in this region, and so most female detainees are being transferred to Kentucky. Transgender detainees are being sent to Denver. 

Detained individuals are offered a phone call as a courtesy. Attorney phone calls are routed through the facility control room. 

During the visit Underwood also raised concerns about the lack of clear communication from DHS regarding the status of Operation Midway Blitz. No formal notification has been provided indicating whether the operation has concluded. Officers at Broadview stated that Border Patrol does not work inside the facility and were unsure where Border Patrol is currently headquartered in Illinois. However, Underwood was informed that a Border Patrol scout team and intelligence team from El Paso and Detroit entered Illinois in the weeks and months before formally joining the operation.

DHS officials told Underwood that the Chicago immigration court docket is now among the largest in the nation, with more than two hundred  thirty thousand cases pending and more than four hundred seventy thousand across the six-state region. Thirty thousand individuals in the Chicago area are categorized as ready for removal. Deportation flights are conducted out of the Gary, Indiana, airport. Currently, within their area of responsibility—which includes Wisconsin, Indiana, Kentucky, Kansas, and Missouri—they have three thousand detainees in custody. In response to the influx of detainees, CoreCivic is building a new ICE detention center in Leavenworth, Kansas.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Yesterday, Rep. Lauren Underwood, Ranking Member of the Homeland Security Subcommittee on Appropriations, delivered the following speech from the House floor:

“I rise today because what happened in Illinois during Operation Midway Blitz can never happen again. 

The last time this chamber convened before House Republicans took an 8-week vacation was September 19th.

So, this is the first chance I’ve had to address the House about the outrageous abuses of power our community has endured for the past two months. 

Under Kristi Noem’s so-called leadership, Department of Homeland Security agents have terrorized my district. 

Their reckless and incompetent methods have traumatized families and endangered entire neighborhoods. 

No community in America should live under siege by the federal government, as mine has.

Federal immigration officers and National Guard personnel, weaponized and politicized by the Trump Administration, swept into my district with no communication, no coordination, no transparency, no accountability, and no regard for public safety.

They came barging into our towns, ignored our laws, and trampled on our civil and human rights. 

In Aurora, a federal agent pepper sprayed a constituent of mine directly in the face from inches away, while she was standing completely still with her hands at her sides, unarmed.  

Elsewhere in my district, we heard reports that federal officers used an elementary school as a staging area, positioning armed tactical teams on school grounds in full view of children. 

Parents are afraid to leave their homes after hearing about neighbors abducted by masked agents while walking their kids to school, leaving the children unattended by the side of the road. 

Workers fear going to their jobs, our economy is suffering, and local businesses have seen foot traffic collapse.

Because, despite the Trump Administration’s claims of targeting “the worst of the worst,” their immigration enforcement operations have been a chaotic mess—sweeping up U.S. citizens, legal immigrants, and people with no criminal record.

I was horrified when federal agents rappelled down from helicopters to a Chicago apartment complex in the middle of the night, smashed windows and doors, threw flash-bang grenades, dragged children from their beds, and zip-tied and detained U.S. citizens for hours.

And yet, after all that, federal prosecutors have not filed criminal charges against anyone detained that night. 

And in a recent court filing, DHS listed 614 people arrested as part of Operation Midway Blitz—and only 16 of them have criminal histories of any kind. That’s 2.6%. 

The other 598 people have no criminal record!

What’s happening in Illinois is called racial profiling. 

Greg Bovino, the Border Patrol agent who led Operation Midway Blitz, literally told a reporter that agents arrest people based on, quote, “how they look.”  

Masked officers are violently targeting people, including U.S. citizens, because their brown skin and black hair make them seem suspicious.

This is a complete failure. Our Founding Fathers warned us about this type of government overreach after seeing how a desperate king’s troops could trample on our unalienable right to LIBERTY.

And yet, as we approach our 250th birthday, we are confronting a similar tyranny.

That’s not all—many of those arrested were essentially disappeared. Members of Congress could not get basic information from DHS about where they took our constituents. 

During the Republican shutdown, DHS leadership chose to furlough the liaisons we rely on to locate detainees and resolve urgent casework. 

When a constituent reached out because her husband was denied access to medical care in a detention facility, my office’s emails bounced back, and our calls went unanswered. Weeks later, I’m still waiting for a response.

But the shutdown didn’t stop DHS agents from harassing citizens and using force on peaceful protesters, because the Administration deemed these violent tactics “essential.”

That was not an accident. That was a policy choice. 

This is not what legitimate law enforcement looks like. 

Operation Midway Blitz disregarded Illinois state laws, federal laws, and the U.S. Constitution.

Due process—a foundational constitutional right for ALL people in this country—went out the window. Local police and officials were kept in the dark. People were snatched off the streets seemingly at random.

Many of my constituents felt like they were being hunted, because of the language they speak or the color of their skin. Simply because they needed to run an errand at the hardware store or walk their kids to school.

This is not about public safety. When the President has the power to terrorize American communities for his political purposes, it makes us all less safe, and less free.

The people of Illinois deserve answers—and Americans deserve better.”

WASHINGTON – Today, Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries announced the launch of a new House Democratic Commission on AI and the Innovation Economy that will convene throughout 2026. The commission will develop policy expertise in partnership with the innovation community, relevant stakeholders and committees of jurisdiction. Caucus Vice Chair Ted Lieu (CA-36), Rep. Josh Gottheimer (NJ-05) and Rep. Valerie Foushee (NC-04) will serve as Co-Chairs. Rep. Zoe Lofgren (CA-18), Ranking Member of the Science, Space and Technology Committee and Rep. Frank Pallone, Jr. (NJ-06), Ranking Member of the Energy and Commerce Committee, will serve as Ex Officio Co-Chairs. Democrats that served on the Bipartisan AI Task Force last Congress will hold key roles, and all Members of the House Democratic Caucus will be invited to participate.

“The brilliance and ingenuity of the innovation community has positioned America to lead the world in artificial intelligence and pioneer potentially life-changing breakthroughs in medicine and other fields of human endeavor that will benefit humanity. It is important that American companies continue to thrive in this area. At the same time, Congress must consider what policies are needed to prevent bad actors from exploiting this transformative technology and inflicting harm upon the American people,” said Leader Jeffries. “Unfortunately, Republicans abandoned the Bipartisan Task Force on AI. At this watershed moment in technological history, the people we are privileged to represent understandably have questions about how AI will affect their lives into the future. House Democrats are ready, willing and able to lean into those issues so we can uplift the health, safety and economic well-being of the American people. I’m thankful to Ranking Member Zoe Lofgren, Ranking Member Frank Pallone, Caucus Vice Chair Ted Lieu, Rep. Josh Gottheimer and Rep. Valerie Foushee for their leadership, commitment and willingness to serve.”

“I’m honored to join Representatives Lofgren, Pallone, Foushee and Gottheimer as members of the House Democratic Commission on AI and the Innovation Economy, and I’m grateful to Leader Jeffries for the opportunity to help continue to lead this critical work,” said Vice Chair Lieu. “Artificial intelligence is advancing at a breakneck pace, and Congress must keep up. House Democrats are committed to fostering innovation, expanding economic opportunity and strengthening America’s competitiveness in AI—while also ensuring sensible guardrails are in place to prevent significant harm. What is the Trump administration’s plan? Selling high-performance AI chips to China, pushing government ownership and revenue sharing requirements onto tech companies and spreading harmful deepfake videos. House Democrats reject this misguided approach, which risks leaving Americans vulnerable and our competitiveness weakened. Instead, Democrats will meet the moment by working with all stakeholders to develop smart, durable solutions that strengthen innovation and protect the public.”

“AI is a transformational technology. It has the potential to make the lives of everyday Americans profoundly better. However, it also carries with it risks,” said Ranking Member Lofgren. “Policymakers in Congress need to educate themselves about this game changing technology so that we can have informed debates about the issues that surround it. Unfortunately, House Republicans have been largely MIA when it comes to the issue of AI this Congress. I applaud Leader Jeffries for launching this Commission on AI and the Innovation Economy so that Democratic Members can stay engaged with academia, industry and other stakeholders to keep up with this rapidly evolving technology and ensure that America leads the world in the deployment of safe and trustworthy AI.”

“The United States can and must continue to lead the world in the development of artificial intelligence,” said Ranking Member Pallone. “Rather than blanket moratoriums, we should be learning from the work of our state and local counterparts to deliver well-considered legislation that provides American businesses and communities the framework and resources to succeed. Congress must both support policies that foster innovation and ensure we’re protecting Americans’ privacy and safety. I look forward to working with members of the commission and the entire Democratic Caucus to ensure we continue to win the future of AI.”

“From health care to education, the potential for artificial intelligence is boundless. The key for our economy, global competitiveness and national security is staying ahead of the curve—and ahead of our global competitors,” said Congressman Gottheimer. “As a member of the House Intelligence Committee, and the Ranking Member of the Subcommittee on the National Security Agency and Cyber, I see every day just how quickly the landscape is shifting. That’s why this new Commission on AI and the Innovation Economy is so important. We need to ensure Congress is educated on these new technologies, that we’re putting the right policies and guardrails in place to grow and protect Americans, and that the U.S. continues to be the leader in AI-fueled jobs and innovation.“

“Artificial intelligence is already reshaping our economy, our democracy, our communities and the future of work in real time, yet the Trump administration has refused to put in place responsible guardrails to protect the American people, workers and families from the downsides of rapid technological change,” said Congresswoman Foushee. “As co-chair of the new House Democratic Caucus Commission on Artificial Intelligence and the Innovation Economy, I am committed to advancing clear, enforceable rules of the road to foster responsible innovation, keep Americans safe, protect privacy and civil rights, safeguard jobs, strengthen our economy and ensure that AI serves the public interest instead of undermining it. We cannot afford more delays or more excuses. It is time for Congress to lead.”

Today, Chicago Congressman Mike Quigley (IL-05) released the following statement on the passing of the deadline for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Office of the Inspector General to provide answers on ICE’s misconduct in Illinois:

“Three weeks ago, I led the entire Illinois House Democratic delegation in calling for Inspector General Joseph Cuffari to investigate misconduct, requiring a response by November 21, 2025. That date has come and gone, with no word from Cuffari. In the meantime, federal courts have investigated hundreds of warrantless arrests and found widespread inappropriate use of force in my city.

“Throughout Operation Midway Blitz, out-of-control federal agents wrought chaos and violence on Chicago. Families were ripped apart, neighborhoods were tear-gassed, and children were zip-tied — all while citizens and legal residents were abducted. Despite this chaos and a government shutdown, my office has remained open and responsive to those affected. My staff has made numerous calls and emails to regional ICE officials to find out who is being detained and where. We have yet to get an informed response back. We have been stonewalled in response.

“The people of Illinois deserve answers. The families of those who have been detained deserve to know where their loved ones are. And the American people deserve reassurance that this will never happen again.

“I am demanding an immediate response from Inspector General Cuffari — DHS must be held accountable.”

Today, Co-Chairs of the bipartisan Congressional Ukraine Caucus, Representatives Marcy Kaptur (D-OH-09), Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA-01), and Mike Quigley (D-IL-05), along with Representative Don Bacon (R-NE-02) , Chairman of the House Armed Services Subcommittee on Cyber, Information Technologies, and Innovation issued the following statement in response to the reported peace plan between Ukraine and Russia:

“The proposed ‘peace plan’ for Ukraine appears to favor the interests of the aggressor — Dictator Vladimir Putin — over the sovereignty and security of a democratic Ukraine. That is unacceptable. This framework does not offer a genuine path to lasting peace, but instead, demands the surrender and capitulation of Ukraine to Russian aggression. It rewards Russia’s unprovoked invasion, illegal seizure of Ukrainian territory, such as Crimea, and pressures Ukraine to limit its defense capabilities and abandon its aspirations for NATO membership.

Furthermore, Russia’s ambitions do not end at Ukraine’s borders. Putin continues to seek broader influence in Europe. Accepting this proposed plan not only submits Ukraine’s independence to Russian tyranny, but leaves all of Europe even more vulnerable to future Russian aggression. A responsible approach must support Ukraine’s sovereignty, strengthen its defense, and hold Russia accountable for its actions in coordination with our NATO and European Allies.

Reports indicate the plan was developed primarily by US and Russian officials, with limited to no consultation from Kyiv or key European partners. Allies have rightly rejected the proposal, describing it as a framework to reward aggression rather than defending Ukrainian freedom and securing peace through strength.

Today, U.S. Representative Mike Quigley (IL-05) released the following statement on his vote to release the Epstein files.

“Today, I voted to release the Epstein Files. Jeffrey Epstein was a pedophile, sex offender, and human trafficker. He abused, trafficked, and threatened over 1,000 girls — some as young as 14 — causing irreparable harm to their physical and mental health. One survivor, Virginia Giuffre, died by suicide this spring, after years of death threats and public scrutiny. Epstein’s victims, including the late Virginia, deserve accountability. The American people deserve to know which systems failed and which powerful people allowed Epstein to get away with his heinous crimes for so long.

“From his friendship in the ‘90s to emails as recent as 2019, Donald Trump had a clear and public relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. Trump and his cronies have been hellbent on blocking the release of Epstein’s personal documents, protecting a disgusting pedophile and his enablers. Speaker Mike Johnson even closed the House early this summer to stall the petition for this vote, and then in October, he refused to swear in Rep. Adelita Grijalva, the 218th signer on the petition, to block the release of the Epstein files.

“I am relieved my Senate colleagues acted quickly on this bill, and I can only hope President Trump lives up to his promise to sign it into law. While the bill we passed today requires transparency about any destruction or misplacement of documents, we all know this administration rarely feels bound by the law. The only way to prevent mismanagement is to release all the files as soon as possible, so this corrupt administration cannot destroy them in the future. The administration should know that Democrats will pursue a meticulous investigation into any documents that may be ‘lost’ or damaged, given this administration’s frequent disregard for the law.

“Americans deserve a government they can trust. The survivors and their families deserve to be heard. For Virginia, and for every victim of child abuse and sexual assault, I was proud to vote in support of releasing the Epstein files.”

Congressman Michael Guest on the Passage of H.R. 4071, the Combatting International Drug Trafficking and Human Smuggling Partnership Act of 2025

Washington, D.C. – Yesterday, the U.S. House of Representatives passed H.R. 4071, the Combatting International Drug Trafficking and Human Smuggling Partnership Act of 2025. 

U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s Air and Marine Operations agents play a critical role in the homeland security mission. Every day, AMO agents conduct border operations to detect and disrupt the illegal flow of people, narcotics, and other dangerous or illicit contraband before it reaches our shores.

This legislation authorizes AMO, and other designated CBP personnel, to continue and expand these successful bilateral agreements by providing training, building partner-nation capacity, and conducting joint operations that will increase interdictions and enhance regional security to save lives, strengthen our defenses, and make our nation safer.

Joined by Representative Nellie Pou (NJ-09), Congressman Guest gained bipartisan supporters on this legislation which passed the U.S. House of Representatives.

Committee on Homeland Security Chairman Andrew Garbarino expressed his support for the bill, stating, “As Air and Marine Operations carries out its border security mission, Congressman Guest’s legislation would help ensure these brave men and women have the necessary international partnerships to combat drug and human smuggling before this criminal activity ever makes its way to our borders. I was proud to help advance this legislation through the House Homeland Security Committee and through the House of Representatives, and I urge my Senate colleagues to do the same to help CBP in its important mission.”

Congressman Guest stated, “I am honored to have introduced H.R. 4071 and to see it be approved in the House. I urge my colleagues in the Senate to pass this bill and send it to the President’s desk. We will continue to work to secure our border and Make America Great Again.”

Co-Sponsor Congresswoman Pou stated, “Drug trafficking and human smuggling remain grave problems facing our nation. Our bipartisan bill will provide vital clarity to Customs and Border Protection and our foreign partners to crack down on these scourges. I thank Congressman Guest for leading this effort that will help keep Americans safe and protected.” 

With the passage of H.R. 4071, the Combatting International Drug Trafficking and Human Smuggling Partnership Act of 2025, Congressman Guest is thankful to see bipartisan bills pass through the House Chamber that will strengthen our border security.

Congressman Michael Guest represents Mississippi’s Third Congressional District. Currently serving his fourth term, Congressman Guest is the Chairman of the Border Security and Enforcement Subcommittee of the Committee on Homeland Security and is also a member of the House Appropriations Committee.

AURORA — Congressman Jason Crow (D-CO-06), a member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence and House Armed Services Committee, released the following statement in response to the Trump administration’s newly released National Security Strategy:

“The Trump administration’s National Security Strategy would be catastrophic to America’s standing in the world and a retreat from our alliances and partnerships. It will take generations to restore the trust it would shatter with our most important friends. 

“The world will be a more dangerous place and Americans will be less safe if this plan moves forward.

“Among the many disturbing things are the blatant calls for social engineering, culture warfare, and interference with allied foreign governments and political systems. It’s an attack on freedom and individual liberty at home and abroad. 

“The Trump administration wants America to be smaller, weaker, and vulnerable. I will resist.”

WASHINGTON — Congressman Jason Crow (CO-06), a member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence and House Armed Services Committee, issued the following statement after the Department of Defense’s Office of Inspector General found that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s actions likely jeopardized America’s national security and endangered American troops:

After reviewing the Inspector General’s report, Congressman Crow said:

“Pete Hegseth risked our servicemembers’ lives by sharing classified information about ongoing military operations on unsecured systems. If any general, lieutenant, or private had done the same thing as Pete Hegseth, they would immediately face accountability. 

“With Pete Hegseth, there is no leadership or accountability. Without change, our servicemembers remain at risk.

“Pete Hegseth’s recklessness endangered lives. Sadly, this Inspector General report is just the latest confirmation of just how unqualified he is to lead our brave men and women in uniform. 

“Pete Hegseth needs to resign or be fired.”
