Proud to re-establish the Bipartisan Congressional Access to Legal Aid Caucus with @RepBrianFitz. Every person deserves access to legal representation, and we hope to educate our colleagues on the importance of legal aid and fight for counsel for the most vulnerable Americans.

Even better news - DHS to release both CT children and parents today, for immediate reunification and freedom! @WiracYls @CTLegal ctpost.com/news/article/Pros…

Trump thinks his cruel policy of taking children from parents deters illegal immigration. He must not be aware of the horrors they're escaping. A federal judge in Connecticut has given a glimpse in a landmark ruling.
Warning: The details are grisly.

Do not get lost in a sea of despair. Be hopeful, be optimistic. Our struggle is not the struggle of a day, a week, a month, or a year, it is the struggle of a lifetime. Never, ever be afraid to make some noise and get in good trouble, necessary trouble. #goodtrouble

It’s wonderful to see our delegation caring so deeply for immigrant families and young people. But you don’t have to go to Texas to find undocumented young people who need help. wnpr.org/post/connecticut-de…

We have a civil justice crisis in our country. 80% of the poor face their legal crises alone. We can and must do better. #probonohelps
