McGarvey, Jayapal Demand Trump Administration Reverse Rule to Fast-Track ICE Detention and Deportation Proceedings for Asylum Seekers | 2026-08-14 | 2026 | 2026-08 | Democrat | House | KY | Morgan McGarvey | M001220 | mcgarvey.house.gov | mcgarvey | https://mcgarvey.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | Congressional Democrats say new DHS rule will push more asylum seekers into ICE detention and deportation as arrests at airports surge nationwide WASHINGTON, D.C. (August 14, 2026) – Today, Representatives Morgan McGarvey (KY-03) and Pramila Jayapal (WA-07) led 69 Congressional Democrats in a letter to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) calling on the Trump administration to withdraw its new rule allowing asylum officers to reject an affirmative asylum seeker’s case without an interview and refer him or her directly to immigration court for deportation proceedings. The rule comes as ICE ramps up arrests of individuals at airports, including those with legal status or pending applications. Last month Sarafinah Bukirwa, one of McGarvey’s constituents with a valid visa and active asylum application, was detained by ICE at Louisville’s Muhammad Ali International Airport. “USCIS’s failure to adjudicate such applications in a timely manner is now being weaponized by ICE, which, in collaboration with the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), is arresting individuals as they attempt to fly domestically,” the Members wrote. McGarvey and Jayapal argued eliminating these interviews – a standard practice since 1990 – will deny those arrested under the new DHS rule from receiving full and fair consideration of their case, especially for asylum seekers who’ve faced persecution and violence and for survivors of gender-based violence. The Members also rejected the administration’s claim that the rule would help address the asylum backlog, arguing it simply moves cases a USCIS officer could have decided into immigration courts, which already have 2.3 million pending asylum cases and keeps asylum seekers waiting in ICE detention even longer. Instead, they called for increasing the number of asylum officers and resources for USCIS to process applications faster. “Given the fact that Congress has given the administration $240 billion for immigration enforcement, moves like this call into question the Departmen… | 1 | 2026-08-15T05:23:20Z | 2026-08-15T05:24:50Z |

(August 10, 2026) – Today, Congressman Morgan McGarvey sent a letter to Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Lee Zeldin to oppose the Trump administration’s recent exemptions for chemical plants to comply with air standards that limit toxic emissions. The announcement included two Kentucky facilities: Zeon Chemicals, a synthetic rubber manufacturer in Louisville, and Westlake, a vinyl manufacturer in Calvert City. “Removing these limits on chemical emissions will directly harm my constituents, including in Louisville neighborhoods that have already for decades lived with the impacts of industrial pollution and contamination,” McGarvey wrote. In the letter, the Congressman calls on EPA to reconsider the rollbacks and points to EPA’s own National Air Toxics Assessment, which concluded that Rubbertown’s proximity to industrial facilities that release carcinogens into the air and groundwater supply has resulted in an elevated exposure to pollution and higher risk of cancer and other health problems. Last year, the administration granted a similar exemption to Bakelite Synthetics, a formaldehyde plant located 500 feet from homes in the Riverside Gardens neighborhood in Louisville, just 6 months after a chemical spill at the facility turned a creek in the Rubbertown neighborhood of Louisville red. “EPA should not reward polluters with exemptions without any regard for the people who will live with the consequences,” McGarvey concluded. “This administration’s irresponsible deregulatory actions will inevitably harm Louisvillians. Every person has a right to breathable air and clean water. Residents in at-risk neighborhoods shouldn’t need to worry about those rights being rolled back for the sake of industry.” The letter follows a series of letters by Rep. McGarvey’s office, probing incidents of chemical pollution in Louisville linked with adverse health effects and an association with cancer.

(July 31, 2026) – Congressman Morgan McGarvey released the following statement after Sarafinah Bukirwa, who was detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) at Muhammad Ali International Airport in Louisville, was released from ICE custody and admitted to the hospital today: “I’m so relieved Sarafinah is finally getting the care she needs and this nightmare is behind her, but so many families are still going through it. As long as this cruel administration continues its campaign of terror in our communities, we have to keep standing up for our neighbors.” Rep. McGarvey has been working with family and advocates of Bukirwa since she was detained on July 22 and has called for her immediate release and prompt medical care. ### Congressman Morgan McGarvey represents Kentucky’s Third Congressional District, including Louisville and Jefferson County.

(July 29, 2026) – Today, Congressman Morgan McGarvey sent an urgent Congressional inquiry and records request to a senior U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) official demanding information related to the detention of Sarafinah Bukirwa, who was taken into custody by ICE at Muhammad Ali International Airport in Louisville. Rep. McGarvey has been working with family and advocates of Bukirwa since she was detained on July 22 and has called for her immediate removal and prompt medical care. Read the full letter to ICE below: Dear Mr. Venturella, On July 22nd at the Louisville Muhammad Ali Airport, Sarafinah Bukirwa (“Ms. Bukirwa”), a resident of Kentucky’s 3rd Congressional District, was taken into custody by Immigration and Customs Enforcement at Muhammad Ali International Airport in Louisville, Kentucky and transported to the Grayson County Jail. This detention is particularly troubling because Ms. Bukirwa entered the United States legally, has a valid work authorization, and a pending asylum claim. Furthermore, based on the information reviewed by my team, as well as the information made available to Ms. Bukirwa’s attorney, there are no criminal charges pending or resolved against Ms. Bukirwa. Ms. Bukirwa is the executive director of Sarafinah Sickle Cell Society (SASCELL), an organization that works to provide lifesaving medical care, awareness programs, and support services for those with sickle cell disease throughout the world. She was on her way to address a conference in California when ICE agents grabbed her and took her to Grayson County. Of immediate concern, Ms. Bukirwa herself has sickle cell disease and had all her necessary medication and doctor’s instructions regarding her condition at the time of her arrest. Our office has received reports that, upon arrival at the Grayson County Jail, Ms. Bukirwa was denied medication for her sickle cell disease. We have also been told Ms. Bukirwa was hit by officers, and was stripped of her hijab and all clothes in the presence o… | 1 | 2026-08-01T07:27:26Z | 2026-08-01T07:28:22Z |

Our coal has lit homes, built cities, fueled factories, and helped create enormous wealth for those far outside the communities that made it possible.” WASHINGTON, D.C. (July 9, 2026) – Today, Congressman Morgan McGarvey (KY-03) sent a letter to LG&E President John R. Crockett III, opposing the hyperscale data center planned for Camp Ground Road in Louisville and demanding Louisville families aren’t forced to pay for the development or expected surge in electricity demand. Despite widespread community opposition, the Louisville Planning Commission fast-tracked site approval for construction of the data center in June 2025, and phase one of the project is expected to come online in October. The single facility is expected to use 400 megawatts of power – a 63% increase in demand on the grid, or the equivalent of adding roughly 280,000 households. To meet the rising energy demand of hyperscale data centers, utility companies have ramped up operations. McGarvey argues Kentuckians shouldn’t be forced to shoulder the long-lasting costs again. “We sacrificed miners, their families, and our land for the benefit of industry and have never been made whole,” he wrote. “We must not repeat the mistakes of the past and again gamble with our community’s long term economic and environmental health.” In the letter, McGarvey points to the explosion in data center electricity use nationwide – citing a 267% increase in electricity prices over the past five years in areas with high concentrations of data centers – and warns that “the companies that own, develop, and profit from these data centers often do not pay for this increased usage or bear the costs of bringing necessary capacity online.” “LG&E must ensure that this hyper-scale data construction and the development of infrastructure required to serve it do not increase costs for existing ratepayers,” McGarvey concluded. The letter demands answers to a series of questions about how LG&E will pr… | 1 | 2026-07-10T08:20:04Z | 2026-07-10T08:21:18Z |

Meanwhile, 15,000 Kentuckians already lost Medicaid this year because of how much costs have gone up and more than a thousand patients at Lee Specialty Clinic in Louisville are worried about losing their care. “Republicans are hoping they can distract us from the damage they’ve done to our communities, but we’re not going to let them.” ### Congressman Morgan McGarvey represents Kentucky’s Third Congressional District, including Louisville and Jefferson County.

(June 24, 2026) – Today, Reps. Morgan McGarvey (KY-03) and Nikema Williams (GA-05) led lawmakers representing states with severely restrictive or near-total abortion bans in a letter to Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche regarding the growing criminalization of miscarriages across the country. Since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, prosecutors and law enforcement agencies have increasingly treated pregnancy loss as a potential crime rather than a deeply personal medical tragedy. During the first two years after Dobbs, prosecutors across the country filed more than 400 criminal charges related to pregnancy, pregnancy loss, or birth, and 15 states have maintained century-old criminal bans related to “concealing” a pregnancy loss. The letter highlights recent cases where women were criminally charged after a stillbirth or miscarriage, including a 26-year-old in Nevada and a 24-year-old in Georgia. “These cases are not isolated,” the Members wrote. “They show a national pattern where miscarriage is treated as intentional, and individuals are subjected to criminal investigation and prosecution for events that are unavoidable and naturally occurring.” In the letter, lawmakers warn of a growing climate of fear where “patients are afraid to seek medical care, physicians are afraid to provide it, and families are caught in the crosshairs of politicized enforcement.” “No one should be afraid to go to jail during what could be one of the most devastating moments of their life,” the Members concluded. “No family should face police interrogation when experiencing a health crisis.” Read the full letter to Secretary Kennedy and Acting Attorney General Blanche here.

The legislation would establish an independent commission to promote the interests of children and marginalized youth and ensure that their interests are protected and advanced in federal policy. Companion legislation was introduced by . Senator Edward J. Markey (D-Mass.) in the Senate. The Child Safety and Well-Being Act comes in advance of National Children’s Week, while the Trump administration’s drastic cuts in the so-called One Big Beautiful Bill devastate health care coverage and nutrition assistance for children across the country. Recent data shows that 1.5 million children have lost Medicaid or CHIP health coverage since January 2025. “In Kentucky, one in five kids still lives in poverty, and the latest cuts to programs like Medicaid and SNAP will push that number higher,” said Congressman McGarvey. “The federal government is failing our kids when it comes to the basics, and they’ve all but ignored the new issues our kids are dealing with. Young people are growing up in a world that’s changing faster than our policies can keep up, and that’s why this bill is so important. It forces us to confront those issues with every decision we make in Congress and ask ourselves how we can make the next generation’s lives better.” “Children are around twenty-five percent of the population, but they are one hundred percent of our future,” said Senator Markey. “Children’s voices must be represented when we make decisions that will impact their lives. As the Trump administration strips health care, education, nutrition assistance, and protections from children all over the country, we must create pathways for American families to fight back and make their voices heard in Washington.” “Our children shape our future,” said Congresswoman DeLauro, c… | 1 | 2026-06-12T06:37:16Z | 2026-06-12T06:39:00Z |

Just about anything would be better than giving it to ICE.” WASHINGTON, D.C. (June 9, 2026) – Today, the House will vote on a Senate-passed government funding package with an additional $70 billion for ICE and CBP, totaling $240 billion under the Trump administration. Last night, Rep. McGarvey proposed diverting the funding to the Department of Veterans Affairs for veterans homelessness assistance programs. Today, Congressman Morgan McGarvey, railed against the bill on the House floor before casting his nay vote. DOWNLOAD LANDSCAPE VIDEO HERE TRANSCRIPT: Mr. Speaker We gotta stop saying this about $70 billion for ICE. This is about $240 billion for ICE. Republicans gave ICE $170 billion last July, and in less than one year they want to give them $70 billion more. That’s more for ICE this year than Russia spent on its military — and they’re currently at war. $240 billion for honest to god stormtroopers — masked, armed agents kidnapping people off the street, murdering U.S. citizens, separating families, and detaining children. We shouldn’t give them another dollar. We cannot give them another $70 billion. But if you’re willing to spend it, imagine the good we could do with that kind of money. We could make people’s lives better. A free school breakfast and lunch for every kid in America. Free child care for every American family with a kid under five. We could bring back the healthcare tax credits that Republicans killed because “too expensive” for three more years. Since feeding kids and fixing health care aren’t your thing, maybe we can agree on our veterans. You guys say you care about our veterans. Let’s do something about it. For $70 billion, we could end veteran homelessness forever, probably seven times over. In fact, I offered an amendment to this bill that does just that. Actually, with $70 billion, we could end homelessness in America. And that’s just one example. There’s so much good we could do with this money.

(June 05, 2026) – Today, Congressmen Morgan McGarvey (KY-03) and Andrew R. Garbarino (NY-02) introduced the Helen Keller Education Act, a bill to improve educational resources for children and youth who are blind and low vision or deafblind. “Any kid without the right resources in a classroom is going to struggle to reach their full potential, and it’s no different for deafblind students,” said Congressman McGarvey. “The Helen Keller Education Act makes sure these students are getting specialized instruction with trained teachers in an environment that brings out their best. I appreciate Rep. Garbarino’s partnership and advocacy on this legislation as we keep fighting to get every student the education they deserve.” “Every student deserves access to the tools and support they need to succeed in the classroom,” said Congressman Garbarino. “For children who are deafblind, that often requires specialized services and trained professionals who understand their unique needs. This bipartisan legislation will help ensure students have access to the resources necessary to receive a quality education. I’m proud to work with Congressman McGarvey to support these children.” The Helen Keller Education Act aims to ensure deafblind youth receive the same education as their peers by: Requiring states to identify deafblind children even if they are classified and receiving supports under a different disability category; Including intervener services to Individuals with Disabilities Education Act related services; Requiring states to file a deafblind services addendum within 2 years of enactment; Strengthening evaluations and Individualized Education Program (IEP) requirements for deafblind students; Improving early intervention; and Expanding personnel preparation for teachers, interveners, and early intervention specialists.

Senators Edward J. Markey (D-Mass.) and Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.), are leading companion legislation in the Senate. “No disability should get in the way of a student’s education, but right now too many students aren’t getting the specialized support they need to get the same education as their peers,” said Congressman McGarvey. “The Cogswell-Macy Act closes that gap for students who are deaf, blind, or deafblind so they don’t miss out on critical information in the classroom and makes sure every child is set up for success.” “As the representative for the Florida School for the Deaf and Blind and as Co-Chair of the Congressional Deaf Caucus, I have advocated for Deaf and hard of hearing Americans throughout my career in Congress,” said Representative Rutherford. “My experience with Deaf and hard of hearing students across my district has taught me how valuable equitable access to education can be for individuals with disabilities. I am proud to join Representative McGarvey and our colleagues in reintroducing the bipartisan, bicameral Alice Cogswell and Anne Sullivan Macy Act, which would improve education and services for children and youth who are blind, visually impaired, Deaf, hard of hearing, or deafblind.

McGarvey's Louisville district office with a local recipient of the Young Adult Louisville Income for Transformation (YALift!), a guaranteed income pilot program in Louisville that inspired the federal legislation. “Young adults are up against one of the most expensive economies we’ve seen in generations," said Congressman Morgan McGarvey. “We’ve got talented, smart young people excited to start their own lives, but the cost of rent, groceries, gas, and tuition has climbed high enough to fully stop them in their tracks. The Young Adult Tax Credit Act is about giving them a shot at financial independence. Whether it’s going to college, moving out from home, or getting trained for the job they always wanted, this money is an investment in their next chapter in life.” “I’m proud to be a co-lead of Congressman McGarvey's bill because young people deserve a break,” said CPC Chair Greg Casar. “With rising prices from everything from rent to education, too many young Americans face an uphill battle. I'm grateful to Congressman McGarvey for leading the way on this proposal to begin to change that.” “Young adults face some of the highest rates of poverty in comparison to their older counterparts," said Congresswoman Bonnie Watson Coleman. "I am proud to co-lead this legislation with Congressman McGarvey which put cash transfers directly into the hands of young adults as they navigate this critical point in their lives.

Callais: “This Supreme Court decision is a generational setback for American democracy – one that threatens to drag us back to a dark time in our nation’s history. Not since Jim Crow have we seen this level of systemic disenfranchisement of Black voters. “It’s despicable, and we will not sit back and allow the Court to further erode the hard-fought right to fair representation for Black Americans.

(April 24, 2026) – Today, Congressman Morgan McGarvey sent a letter to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), urging the agency to permanently ground the McDonnell Douglas MD-11 (MD-11) after the devastating crash of UPS Flight 2976 in Louisville last November. According to initial reporting and the National Transportation Safety Board, Flight 2976 experienced a critical structural failure causing the left engine and pylon to detach from the rest of the aircraft. “Families have lost loved ones, communities have suffered overwhelming sadness, and the nation has witnessed yet another catastrophic disaster involving an aircraft with a long-documented history of mechanical problems,” McGarvey wrote. “We have a collective responsibility to ensure that no additional lives are put at risk by an aircraft whose design and operational history have repeatedly demonstrated an unacceptable level of danger.” The letter asserts the tragedy in Louisville was the result of a broader pattern of structural deficiencies, citing a long-documented history of mechanical problems as cause for the FAA to permanently ground the model of aircraft from service. The MD-11 has experienced at least ten hull loss accidents since entering service in 1990 – the highest hull loss rate (per million departures) of any wide-body commercial jet airliner still flying within the U.S. – according to Boeing, the model’s manufacturer. “Given the MD-11’s safety record, the NTSB’s preliminary report on the Louisville crash, and the FAA’s statutory obligations, I urge the FAA to take immediate steps to permanently ground the MD-11,” the Congressman concluded.

(March 27, 2026) – Today, Congressman Morgan McGarvey sent a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi after a federal judge dismissed charges against former officers involved in the fatal raid of Breonna Taylor’s home in 2020, demanding the Department of Justice stop interfering with and undermining Louisville’s efforts to deliver justice for Breonna Taylor’s family. Last week, the DOJ requested dismissal of the charges alleging two former Louisville officers knew they lacked probable cause to search Ms. Taylor’s apartment and intentionally drafted and swore to an affidavit that contained false statements and material omissions. “The DOJ’s decision to walk away from this case and their argument that it is somehow ‘in the interest of justice’ is insulting given the Trump administration’s persistent undermining of police and justice reform efforts here in Louisville and its utter abandonment of any kind of civil rights enforcement nationwide,” the Congressman wrote to AG Bondi. McGarvey pointed to a pattern of federal interference since the beginning of the Trump administration to undermine accountability for the fatal shooting. “One of the president’s very first actions after taking office was to begin the process of invalidating Louisville’s consent decree, from which he eventually withdrew the federal government a few months later,” McGarvey continued. In addition to the latest dismissal of charges, last year the DOJ recommended Brett Hankison serve only one day in prison of his nearly 3-year sentence and be released from prison during a pending appeal. “Louisville has spent six years working towards justice for Breonna and her family,” wrote McGarvey. “We will continue that work, regardless of federal interference or your efforts to stop us.” CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD LETTER Letter Text: Dear Attorney General Bon… | 1 | 2026-04-04T05:28:40Z | 2026-04-04T05:30:10Z |

(March 5, 2026) – Today, Congressman Morgan McGarvey released the following statement on his vote in favor of H. Con. Res. 38, a war powers resolution to direct the President to remove U.S. Armed Forces from unauthorized hostilities in Iran: “The decision to go to war is so consequential that our founders were clear: no one person — not a president or a king — should have that power. The grave responsibility of putting our servicemembers in harm’s way, plus spending the billions of taxpayer dollars this war will cost, rests squarely with Congress and the people who send them there. “Congress never authorized Trump’s illegal war, and based on what we’ve been told so far, they shouldn’t. Even in a classified briefing, this administration couldn’t justify their actions, couldn’t guarantee they won’t send our troops onto Iranian streets, and couldn't explain any strategic endgame. “It’s an insult to cut money for families’ health care and food assistance, then hand them the bill for a war nobody asked for and nobody can explain.” Last June, McGarvey cosponsored a similar resolution, but House Republican leadership has failed to consider the bill. ### Congressman Morgan McGarvey represents Kentucky’s Third Congressional District, including Louisville and Jefferson County.

Morgan McGarvey. “I’m grateful to our local partners for meeting our community’s needs with bold solutions, and I look forward to seeing these dollars put to work back at home.” FY26 Community Funding Projects: $2.7 million to fund local construction projects and repair transportation infrastructure, including: More than $3.1 million to upgrade outdated water lines and stormwater and sewer infrastructure, including: $1,000,000 for neighborhood drainage improvements to address severe flooding and stress to aging stormwater infrastructure from the increased frequency of extreme storms, $1,092,000 to address persistent sewer odor issues in West Louisville by upgrading hundreds of catch basins in Louisville’s Russell neighborhood, and $1,092,000 to identify and replace approximately 1,700 lead service lines at no cost to homeowners. $2 million to invest in local schools and educational programs, including: $300,000 for the Boys and Girls Club of Kentuckiana’s Ultimate Afterschool Exploration Program, a summer program where more than 4,000 students explore robotics, drone operation, 3D printing, and careers in STEM, $850,000 for construction of Simmons College of Kentucky’s new Westover Campus, including a state-of-the-art STEAM education hub, and $850,000 to replace Jefferson Community and Technical College’s downtown campus parking lot with a modern, mixed-use facility that improves accessibility for commuting students and supports downtown business development.

The Department of Veterans’ Affairs (VA) administers the Veteran Readiness and Employment program (VR&E), which helps qualifying veterans with service-connected disabilities with job training, starting their own businesses, independent living services, education, employment accommodations, and resume development. The type of service offered are unique to fit the goals and needs of each veteran. Under current law, veterans who use GI Bill education benefits before accessing the VR&E program can be prevented from accessing their VR&E benefits for years due to VA rules. Veterans who use VR&E first are not subject to the same penalty, creating an unfair disparity that disproportionately affects veterans with disabilities. The Ensuring Benefits for Disabled Veterans Act ensures that veterans who would like to access the VR&E program are not penalized based on the order in which they use their earned education benefits. “Veterans shouldn’t have to navigate a maze of red tape just to get the benefits they’ve already earned,” said Rep. McGarvey. “The Ensuring Benefits for Disabled Veterans Act helps streamline that process, so our nation’s heroes can spend less time on paperwork and more time focusing on their future. I’m grateful to Rep. Peters for tackling this problem with a commonsense solution that will make the system work better for the veterans it's meant to serve.” “San Diego is not only home to a vast military community, but to more than 240,000 veterans who proudly served our country—and it’s crucial they have the resources they need to thrive after their service ends,” said Rep.… | 1 | 2026-04-04T05:28:40Z | 2026-04-04T05:30:10Z |

Congressman Morgan McGarvey, who recently backed articles of impeachment against DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, took to the House floor to oppose the bill. DOWNLOAD VIDEO HERE TRANSCRIPT: Mr. Speaker, Congress is deciding whether to fund an agency that has already shown us how it spends taxpayer money. When Republicans gave ICE a blank check last year, ICE used it to kill American citizens. And now ICE wants two more weeks of money – no strings attached – to keep their campaign of terror running smoothly. Two weeks? Renee Nicole Good and Alex Pretti were murdered just two weeks apart. During those two weeks, five-year-old Liam Ramos was used as bait and detained. And three more people died in ICE custody during those same two weeks. I don’t want to be back at this podium in two weeks with a longer list of names, Mr. Speaker. I urge my colleagues to consider what we’re wagering at this point. Are we going to give ICE two more weeks to invade U.S. cities in exchange for a pinky promise that we’ll talk about reforms? Forgive me if I don’t believe this President is negotiating in good faith. He’s not. ### Congressman Morgan McGarvey represents Kentucky’s Third Congressional District, including Louisville and Jefferson County.

(January 20, 2026) – Today, Congressman Morgan McGarvey (KY-03) joined his colleagues in a letter to House Committee on Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan, demanding the Committee immediately start investigation hearings into Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s unlawful and potentially impeachable actions. A House Committee investigation would be the first step in an impeachment process after McGarvey signed onto three articles of impeachment against Noem last week. “Under Secretary Kristi Noem’s leadership, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has done irreversible harm to our constituents, trampling the rights of all people and disregarding the rule of law," the letter states. "Secretary Noem has established a clear pattern of lawless behavior, mirrored in the behavior of rank-and-file members of her leadership team and enforcement agents. When taken together, her actions violate her oath of office.” In the official request, the members accuse Secretary Noem of: Misusing resources appropriated by Congress and engaging in unethical behavior. Repeatedly making false and misleading statements to Congress and to the press. Undermining the separation of powers and disregarding the role of Congress and the Courts.

(January 15, 2026) – Today, Congressman Morgan McGarvey (KY-03) announced his decision to back articles of impeachment against Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem. “ICE is committing atrocities in communities across the country every single day,” said McGarvey. “In a long list of failures to protect public safety and her lies, self-dealing, and corruption; ICE murdered Renee Good, and Secretary Noem defended it. It’s well past time to impeach her and cut DHS off from the taxpayer dollars they are using to fund a terror campaign against our own neighbors.” McGarvey joins a group of House Democratic lawmakers who filed three articles of impeachment against Noem for obstruction of Congress, violation of public trust, and self-dealing. The Constitution gives the U.S. House sole power of impeachment. Obstruction of Congress: Secretary Noem willfully obstructed congressional oversight and withheld Congressionally appropriated funds in violation of her constitutional oath and federal law. There have been six documented denials of Members of Congress entering DHS facilities, despite following Secretary Noem’s unlawful seven-day notice requirement to visit. Violation of Public Trust: Secretary Noem has repeatedly violated the Immigration and Nationality Act, the First and Fourth Amendments of the United States Constitution. She’s also broken due process by directing ICE to conduct warrantless arrests and use violence against U.S. citizens and lawful individuals. Self-Dealing: Secretary Noem has misused her position for personal gain while inappropriately using $200 million taxpayer dollars to fund an ad campaign for ICE recruitment. She bypassed the normal competitive bidding process to award a contract to a firm called Strategy Group. Strategy Group was formed just days before the award and is run by the husband of senior DHS official Tricia McClaughlin, a close friend of Secretary Noem.

My team and I remain committed to working on issues that impact all of us, like rising grocery and housing costs, affordable health care, and continued attacks on our rights — these are big problems that require bold, thoughtful action.” “It’s the honor of a lifetime to serve Louisville in Congress and get the chance to make a meaningful impact in the city we all love,” added McGarvey. 2025 report highlights: $5.8 million returned to Louisville families $163 million federal grant funding secured for the district Over 72,000 constituent responses sent More than 1,500 constituent cases closed 13 bills introduced 2 McGarvey-led bills passed the U.S. House of Representatives 231 bills cosponsored 264 meetings with Louisvillians 68 site visits with Louisville businesses, schools, and organizations 17 town halls with Louisville families ### | 1 | 2026-04-04T05:28:40Z | 2026-04-04T05:30:10Z |

Kennedy Jr. to save lives by restoring the previous childhood immunization schedule. The letter comes on the heels of the Secretary Kennedy-led Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announcing they will gut the childhood immunization schedule by reducing the number of universally recommended vaccines without substantive input from relevant scientific and medical experts. In the letter, McGarvey and his colleagues wrote, “As Members of Congress, we are outraged at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) decision to endanger children and families by undermining the established science driven and expertly considered U.S. childhood immunization schedule. As Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS), your duty to this country is to enhance the well-being of all Americans, and yet this decision will put Americans at unnecessary risk of illness and cost lives.” “Your agency’s decision to overhaul decades of evidence-based science is arbitrary and driven by ideology. This announcement completely bypasses the recommendations made by the previously esteemed Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), a panel that you have replaced with your own hand-picked members, most of whom have long track records of anti-vaccine activism,” the letter states. “We demand that you reinstate the previous childhood immunization schedule, restore sanctity to the ACIP, and protect the health and wellbeing of children,” the letter concludes.
