CONGRESSMAN FIELDS’ STATEMENT ON FATAL ICE SHOOTING IN BIDDEFORD, MAINE
Position: The release calls for a full, independent investigation into two fatal shootings by federal immigration agents, argues that immigration violations should not result in deadly force, and calls on Congress to demand accountability from the administration and ICE, including body cameras.
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, Congressman Cleo Fields released the following statement after a 26-year-old man was shot and killed by federal immigration agents in Biddeford, Maine, the second fatal shooting involving ICE officers in less than a week:
"This morning, ICE agents shot and killed a 26-year-old man in Biddeford, Maine. He was authorized to work in this country. He had a Social Security number. He was somebody's son, somebody's neighbor. And now he's gone.
Just last week, it was Lorenzo Salgado Araujo in Houston, shot and killed on his way to work. He wasn't even the man those agents were looking for.
Two shootings in one week. Two lives taken, and neither man was the target of an immigration enforcement operation.
I'll say it plainly: although neither victim was in this country illegally, an immigration violation is not a death sentence. It never has been, and it never should be. But when federal agents can shoot people in our streets with no body cameras, no accountability, and no answers, that's not law enforcement. That's lawlessness.
The families of these men deserve answers. The American people deserve a full, independent investigation into both killings. And Congress needs to demand that this administration get control of an agency that clearly has none.
I'm praying for these families, and for every community that now looks at their own government and feels afraid."

Position: The release supports the NFIP Premium Transparency Act (H.R. 9511), which would require FEMA to provide National Flood Insurance Program policyholders with a detailed breakdown of their premium drivers, discounts, mitigation options, and projected premium increases.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – This week, Congressman Cleo Fields, along with Representatives Troy Carter, Mike Ezell, and Rob Bresnahan, introduced H.R. 9511, the NFIP Premium Transparency Act, legislation that would require the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to give the more than 400,000 Louisiana policy holders enrolled in the National Flood Insurance Program a full, clear picture of what is driving their premiums and what they can do to bring those costs down:
"Louisiana families pay more flood insurance premiums than almost anyone in the United States, and for too long they've been handed a bill with no explanation. They deserve to know why their rates went up, when they'll go up again, and what they can do about it. This bill does exactly that,” said Representative Fields.
Louisiana has the most NFIP policies per capita of any other state in the country. Despite that, members of communities throughout the state routinely receive renewal notices with little to no explanation of what factors are driving their costs or how long they can expect their premiums to reach their full risk-based potential. For working families in flood-prone areas, many of whom are already living on tight margins, that lack of information can mean the difference between staying in their home and being priced out of it.
“Since FEMA's Risk Rating 2.0 program went into effect, Louisiana families have opened their flood insurance bills with more questions than answers: why their premium jumped and what discounts they're missing,” said Representative Carter. “Louisiana has more riding on this than almost any state in the country. This legislation gives homeowners the information they've always deserved: a clear breakdown of their rates, real savings from mitigation, and a roadmap to full-risk pricing. This isn't a partisan issue. It's about giving working families the tools to protect their homes, their budgets, and their futures.”
The NFIP Premium Transparency Act addresses this issue directly. Within 12 months of enactment, every NFIP policy declaration page must clearly show the policyholder's current premium, all applicable discounts, the full set of rating factors behind their rate, their claim history, available mitigation options and the savings associated with each, and an estimate of how many years remain before their premium reaches its full risk-based level. If any of that information cannot be provided, FEMA must explain why in writing, on the policy itself, eliminating blank walls and guesswork.
“Too many families in Northeastern Pennsylvania struggle with the impact flooding can have on their homes, businesses, and livelihoods. Flood insurance continues to go up, making it harder for families to sell and first-time homeowners to buy,” said Representative Bresnahan. “For many homeowners in our region, the NFIP is the only realistic option for protecting their property, but rising premiums are making that coverage increasingly difficult to afford. This legislation ensures that our families, small businesses, and non-profits are not priced out of the peace of mind that flood insurance brings.”
Within 36 months, FEMA must build a publicly accessible online tool that allows homeowners, prospective buyers, and community leaders to look up any NFIP-covered property and model how improvements like elevating a home would reduce both flood risk and insurance costs. That interactive capability matters. Right now, many constituents know their premiums are high but have no way of knowing whether investing in mitigation would actually move the needle. This tool gives them that answer before they spend a dollar.
The tool must also account for factors critical to Louisiana specifically, including coastal land loss, coastal restoration projects, and levee reliability. With the state's coastline constantly changing, the families living through that reality deserve a flood insurance system that reflects it.
“Families deserve to know exactly how their flood insurance premiums are determined and what steps they can take to lower their costs,” said Representative Ezell. “The NFIP Premium Transparency Act gives homeowners greater access to the information they need to make informed decisions, invest in mitigation, and better protect their property. For coastal communities like those in South Mississippi, improving transparency within the National Flood Insurance Program is a common-sense step that will help strengthen resilience while making the program more accountable to the people it serves.”
The legislation also directs FEMA to publish aggregate flood insurance data by state, county, and ZIP code annually, bringing long-overdue transparency to a program that affects millions of Americans. It also directs the Government Accountability Office to study whether the tool can be expanded to give prospective homebuyers access to a property's full flood history before they close, so families are never blindsided after the fact.
This bill costs taxpayers nothing beyond what FEMA already does, it simply requires the government to share information it already has. Louisiana families have carried the weight of living in a flood-prone state for generations, and the least Congress can do is make sure they have the information they need to protect their homes, plan their finances, and make informed decisions about their future.

CONGRESSMAN FIELDS’ STATEMENT ON SUPREME COURT BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP RULING
Position: Congressman Fields states that the Supreme Court correctly upheld birthright citizenship under the 14th Amendment and rejected an executive order that sought to restrict it.
WASHINGTON, D.C. — This morning, Congressman Cleo Fields released the following statement after the Supreme Court upheld birthright citizenship under the 14th Amendment in Trump v. Barbara:
“The Constitution won today. For over 150 years, the 14th Amendment has guaranteed that every child born on American soil is an American citizen with no exceptions. The Supreme Court was right to reject this administration’s attempt to rewrite that guarantee by executive order.
This was never just a legal question. It was about whether a child born in Baton Rouge or Lafayette or anywhere else in our country has to wonder if their citizenship is secure. Today they got their answer.
I’m grateful the Court held the line, and I’ll keep working to make sure every Louisianan’s constitutional rights are protected, not just on paper, but in practice.”

CONGRESSMAN CLEO FIELDS RELEASES STATEMENT ON PASSAGE OF THE 21ST CENTURY ROAD TO HOUSING ACT
Position: The release supports the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, citing provisions on manufactured home costs, limits on corporate purchases of single-family homes, disaster recovery housing funds, and low-income homeowner repairs, and calls on the President to sign it into law.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Cleo Fields today issued the following statement regarding the passage of the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act and President Trump's refusal to sign the bipartisan legislation into law:
“Last night, the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act passed with overwhelming bipartisan support and now heads to the President's desk. As a cosponsor of this legislation, I have consistently supported it because it directly addresses the housing pressures facing working families across the 6th District.
It cuts the cost of manufactured homes, blocks corporate investors from buying up single-family homes, locks in disaster recovery housing funds for states like Louisiana, and helps low-income homeowners afford basic repairs. This is the most significant federal housing legislation in a generation, and I'm proud my vote helped move it forward.
This bill has no partisan strings attached. It passed both chambers with veto-proof margins because it works for American families. President Trump's decision to cancel the signing ceremony and hold this bill hostage over the unrelated SAVE Act, a voting restrictions bill that doesn't have the Senate votes to pass, is wrong. Families in Louisiana cannot afford to wait. I am calling on President Trump to sign this bill into law now.”

Position: Congressman Fields opposes the preliminary U.S.-Iran framework agreement, criticizes the conflict as unnecessary and costly, and calls for full transparency and congressional oversight regarding the $300 billion figure tied to the arrangement.
BATON ROUGE, L.A. – Congressman Cleo Fields today issued the following statement expressing his strong disapproval of the preliminary framework agreement announced this week between the United States and Iran:
“Let me be clear about what this agreement actually is. After dragging the country into a conflict that was never a war of necessity, the President is now searching for an offramp from a war of his own choosing, and he is asking the American people to foot the bill for it.
This war has been extraordinarily costly. It has cost us both in American lives and in America’s standing in the world. Families across Louisiana and across this country have absorbed the consequences of a decision made without a clear objective and without a plan to end it. And after all of that sacrifice, this deal delivers no tangible benefit to the people who paid the price.
I take particular issue with the $300 billion figure at the center of this arrangement. The administration wants Americans to believe this is a costless win, but you cannot wave away a number that large with talking points. Whether it is framed as a private fund, a reconstruction plan, or something else entirely, the language is deliberately vague, and it should alarm every taxpayer and every member of Congress.
The American people deserve more than a hastily assembled framework designed to let the President declare success and move on. They deserve to know what this is going to cost, what we are actually getting in return, and why they were asked to bear the burden of a war that never had to be fought.
I will be pressing for full transparency and for honest answers about use of the $300 billion. Congress and the American people deserve transparency around how their tax dollars are being put to use.”

CONGRESSMAN FIELDS RELEASES STATEMENT ON BEING JOINED BY CURRENT AND FORMER MEMBERS OF CONGRESS IN HISTORIC CALL FOR FAIR REPRESENTATION
Position: The release calls for protecting fair representation for Black Louisianans and states that their voices must be heard, respected, and protected, in the context of a state legislative committee hearing on redistricting.
Baton Rouge, LA – Today, Congressman Fields stood alongside Congressman Troy Carter and former Congressmen William Jefferson and Cedric Richmond during a Senate and Governmental Affairs hearing at the Louisiana State Capitol to deliver a unified message on the importance of protecting fair representation for Black Louisianans:
"Since Reconstruction, Louisiana has sent only four Black members to the United States Congress. This morning, the four of us stood together in the Louisiana State Capitol to make clear that the voices of Black Louisianans must be heard, respected, and protected.
I am grateful to Congressman Carter, Congressman Richmond, and Congressman Jefferson for standing alongside me. What we represented in that committee room today was bigger than any legislation or committee hearing - it was a living testament to resilience, and a call to do better for the people of Louisiana."

CONGRESSMAN CLEO FIELDS RELEASES STATEMENT ON THE SUPREME COURT’S LOUISIANA V. CALLAIS DECISION
Position: Congressman Fields opposes the Supreme Court's Louisiana v. Callais decision, which he argues has narrowed Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act and made it harder for minority communities to challenge redistricting maps that dilute their political representation.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Congressman Cleo Fields released the following statement in regard to the Supreme Court’s Louisiana v. Callais decision:
“The Supreme Court’s ruling this morning is a grave setback to voting rights and to the promise of equal political representation for all Americans. The Supreme Court's majority has significantly narrowed Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, dismantling decades of settled law that Congress established to ensure that no community's votes could be silenced.
Make no mistake: this decision does not reflect some neutral reading of the law. As Justice Kagan's powerful dissent makes clear, Congress explicitly rejected an intent-based standard when it amended Section 2 in 1982, because lawmakers understood that requiring proof of discriminatory purpose would make the law all but unenforceable. Today's majority has resurrected exactly that standard — and the practical effect is to make it far harder for minority communities to challenge redistricting maps that dilute their political voice. This is especially troubling given the persistent reality that minority candidates are rarely, if ever, elected from districts where they are not the majority, underscoring why fair districting remains essential to ensuring equal representation.
The Voting Rights Act was born from the blood of the civil rights movement and the sacrifices of generations who fought for the ballot. I have deep respect for the role of the judiciary, but today’s decision underscores the limits Congress faces when the Court reinterprets the scope of its authority under the Fifteenth Amendment.
It is important to be clear about what today's ruling does and does not do. The Court ruled on the merits of the current map and remanded further proceedings to the Western District of Louisiana — but it did not require that a new map be immediately drawn. While the Western District has the authority to act, redrawing maps at this stage would not be prudent. Through qualifying, the voters of Louisiana have already made their decisions as it pertains to November’s ballot, and any changes to the map’s configuration would invalidate their choices.
The right of every citizen to participate equally in our democracy is not a partisan issue. It is an American one. I will be working with colleagues on both sides of the aisle to evaluate all available legislative responses to this ruling and to restore the full protections that Section 2 was always meant to provide.”

Congressman Fields Issues Statement on Mall of Louisiana Shooting in Baton Rouge
Position: Congressman Fields expresses opposition to gun violence and commits to working in Congress to address it, though he does not specify particular legislative proposals or mechanisms.
BATON ROUGE, LA – Today, Congressman Cleo Fields released a statement regarding the Mall of Louisiana shooting that occurred this afternoon in Baton Rouge, LA:
“My heart goes out to everyone affected by today’s tragic shooting at the Mall of Louisiana. What should have been an ordinary afternoon for families and shoppers turned into a frightening ordeal, and I am keeping all the victims in my thoughts as they receive care.
Gun violence has no place in our communities. Not in our malls, not anywhere. I remain committed to working in Congress to address the epidemic of gun violence that continues to devastate families across Louisiana and this nation.

CONGRESSMAN FIELDS' STATEMENT ON PRESIDENT TRUMP'S THREATS TOWARDS IRAN
Position: Congressman Fields opposes President Trump's threats toward Iran and calls for an immediate House vote on a War Powers Resolution to end military action and restore congressional control over foreign policy.
WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today, Congressman Cleo Fields shared the below statement following the ultimatum given by President Trump this morning:
"This morning, President Trump threatened that 'a whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again' -- a direct attack against Iranian civilians that legal experts have condemned as a violation of the Fourth Geneva Convention. The idea of a sitting President openly calling for the destruction of an entire civilian population is not diplomacy. It is dangerous, and it is wrong.
I am calling on House Leadership to initiate an immediate vote on the War Powers Resolution so my colleagues and I can take action to end this ear and restore national governance to our foreign policy. Congress will not stand by while this administration issues ultimatums that shock the conscience of the world."

CONGRESSMAN FIELDS’ STATEMENT ON THE FIRING OF ATTORNEY GENERAL PAM BONDI
Position: Congressman Fields criticizes the firing of Attorney General Bondi, expressing concern that the President may have dismissed her for failing to weaponize the Justice Department against political opponents rather than for legitimate performance failures. He calls on the Senate to demand transparency about the Epstein files before confirming a successor and insists the next Attorney General must commit to DOJ independence and equal application of the law.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Congressman Cleo Fields released the following statement in response to the firing of Attorney General Pam Bondi:
“Today's news that President Trump has fired Attorney General Pam Bondi is deeply troubling — not because of who is leaving, but because of why.
I have been deeply critical of Attorney General Bondi's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files. She stood before the American people and falsely claimed that an Epstein client list was sitting on her desk. The Department of Justice (DOJ) later walked that back entirely. That was not a misstatement — it was a failure of transparency that shook public trust at a moment when Americans deserved straight answers.
But here is what should alarm every American: reports indicate that Trump's frustration stemmed not from Bondi's failure to uphold the law — but from his belief that she didn't weaponize the Justice Department aggressively enough against his political enemies. Indictments against James Comey and Letitia James were thrown out by a federal judge because they were illegally pursued. That is not justice, that’s an institution being pulled apart by political pressure, and it should concern all of us.
The Justice Department is not the President's personal law firm and shouldn’t be used as a tool for retribution. I am calling on the Senate to demand full, public answers about the Epstein files before confirming any new Attorney General. The next nominee must be asked plainly: Will you protect the independence of this institution? Will you release the Epstein files without political interference and commit to the principle that no American — regardless of party — is above the law?
The American people deserve a Justice Department that answers to the Constitution, and we will not stop pushing for the truth.”
