Rep. Grijalva Blasts House Republicans for Politicizing Funding, Stripping Support for Bisbee Library Over Drag Events
Position: Rep. Grijalva opposes the removal of $649,330 in Community Project Funding for the Copper Queen Library in Bisbee, Arizona, arguing that House Republicans improperly stripped the funding based on the library's hosting of drag events rather than on project merits, and calls for restoration of the funds in the final appropriations bill.
Tucson, AZ — Congresswoman Adelita S. Grijalva released the following statement condemning House Republicans for weaponizing the Community Project Funding (CPF) process after stripping $649,330 in requested funding for the Copper Queen Library in Bisbee, Arizona from the FY27 Agriculture Appropriations bill. The funding was removed by Republicans on the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Agriculture after learning the library had hosted drag events in 2019 and 2024 – just two of the hundreds of community programs hosted at the library.
This year, Members of Congress were able to submit 20 local projects for consideration in the annual appropriations bill. You can see the full list of projects that Rep. Grijalva submitted for FY 2027 here. Of the more than 500 projects submitted to the Agriculture Subcommittee, only two were rejected, including the Copper Queen library.
“Republicans didn’t cut this funding over the merits of the project – they cut it to continue their assault on the trans community,” said Rep. Grijalva. “This funding was about basic repairs – fixing roofs, restoring floors, and ensuring a safe, functional space for the public in a rural community. It is outrageous, it is petty, and it is a complete abuse of the appropriations process.”
“Republicans are so obsessed with policing identity and expression that they are willing to punish an entire region – and withhold funding for a public resource institution that serves families across Southern Arizona, including rural communities in the neighboring Congressional district.”
“Public libraries are one of the purest expressions of our First Amendment – open, accessible spaces where people can learn, gather, and express themselves freely. The Republican majority is now using their power to dictate what is acceptable in those spaces – and punishing communities when they don’t agree. Denying access to a public library based on identity is a violation of the Equal Protection clause under the 14th amendment. The Republicans are now punishing a library for rightfully upholding the Constitution. Funds for this eligible project should be immediately restored in any final funding bill.”
Rep. Grijalva Conducts Unannounced Visit at Florence Staging Facility
Position: Rep. Grijalva opposes the current administration's immigration enforcement practices and calls for federal legislation establishing clear time limits and basic standards for temporary immigrant detention facilities, citing reports of overcrowding and substandard conditions.
Florence, Arizona — On Thursday, May 7 Rep. Adelita Grijalva conducted an unannounced Congressional oversight visit at the Florence Staging Facility (FSF). This is a facility run by the ICE Office of Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) on the campus of the Florence Detention Center Complex (separate from the Florence Corrections Facility run by the private operator CoreCivic). FSF is supposed to be a short-term holding location with a capacity of 187 people where recently detained individuals are processed before being transferred to a long-term detention facility. According to ICE, “the facility houses male and female detainees for up to 72 hours but does not house juveniles or families.”
However, the Office of Congresswoman Grijalva’s casework team has received direct reports from people detained there being held for weeks at a time in sub-standard conditions, including lack of medical care, access to legal representation, clean laundry, basic hygienic supplies, and a proper place to sleep.
“I am going to continue conducting these unannounced oversight visits and holding this administration accountable for its cruel mass deportation agenda,” said Rep. Grijalva. “I am deeply concerned by reports my office has received of severe overcrowding and individuals being held for weeks at a time in facilities that were never intended for long-term detention, including this facility and AROCC in Mesa. This underscores the urgent need for federal legislation establishing clear time limits and basic standards for temporary holding facilities.”

The Florence Immigrant and Refugee Rights Project, a non-profit based in Arizona that provides legal and social services to detained immigrants, has also reported poor conditions at FSF (see full report here):
They expressed concern for being deported without their personal belongings, having been told that they would only get a swift kick in the ass and they should not count on the items that they had been detained with (Cell phone, money, identification, etc.)
Multiple people reported they had not been provided with hygiene items since arriving at FDC.
Several stated they are not receiving sufficient food during mealtimes and claimed noticeable weight loss.
They reported difficulty accessing medical care and stated they were told they would need to be “rolling around on the floor or unconscious” before being seen by medical staff
Many women have reported to the Florence Project that dozens of women are being held in cramped conditions in small cells in a trailer, while men have reported that there are around 300 men at any given time being held in large rooms that hold about 60 bunks beds (120 beds total).
Research released from Relevant Research, using ICE Integrated Decision Support interval ADP data, shows that ‘As of April 2, 2026, ICE reported an annualized average of 368 detainees at the facility. Using an interval average, the number of detainees detained on that date was likely closer to 436.”
The Vera Institute of Justice also analyzed data collected by the Deportation Data Project, including the daily population of FSF. The data shows that in 2026 (last available data is from March 10, 2026), the population of FSF went up to 750 people on March 10, 2026. The data reflects that from February 5, 2026, through March 10, 2026, the daily population did not drop below 400 people.
Men have reported that there are, at times, hundreds more men than available beds. As a result, people are forced to sleep on benches or on the floor with no bedding, sometimes for days. Men have reported that they have not been allowed outside for recreation for days or weeks while detained at FSF and the overflow staging portions of FDC.
People with chronic illnesses, like diabetes, have reported not receiving medication for several days or weeks.
The Florence Project has heard reports that people could spend days or weeks in the same clothes with no access to laundry while detained in FSF or the overflow staging units in FDC.
This visit comes after Representative Grijalva’s tour of the Dilley family detention facility in Texas earlier this week, as well as previous visits to facilities in Eloy, Florence, and another short-term holding site in Mesa. Following the visit to the Mesa facility, she introduced legislation alongside Reps. Stanton and Ansari that would ensure that short-term detention sites cannot hold detainees for longer than 12 hours. This is in response to severe overcrowding at the short-term holding site in Mesa, where reports show the number of people detained nearly quadrupled the stated capacity at certain points, with 777 individuals held in a facility with a maximum capacity of 203. This has prompted the Mesa Airport to warn the landlord that leases the facility to ICE to address overcrowding.

Congresswoman Grijalva, Mayor Romero Respond to Tom Homan’s Threat to Go After Cities that Don’t Cooperate with ICE
Position: Congresswoman Grijalva and Mayor Romero oppose federal threats to increase immigration enforcement and deportation raids in cities that do not cooperate with ICE, arguing that such tactics undermine community safety and trust between residents and local law enforcement.
Tucson, AZ – Today, former Acting ICE Director and Trump-appointed “Border Czar” Tom Homan spoke in Arizona at the 2026 Border Security Expo, where he escalated threats against cities and local leaders who refuse to participate in Donald Trump’s cruel mass deportation agenda. During his remarks, Homan warned that communities declining to cooperate with federal immigration enforcement could face an increased federal presence and expanded immigration raids, including so-called “collateral arrests” that put entire families and neighborhoods at risk.
In response, Congresswoman Grijalva and Tucson Mayor Regina Romero issued the following statement:
“Let’s not sugarcoat this. What Tom Homan said is a threat. Flat out. He’s saying that if cities don’t fall in line, he’s going to flood our neighborhoods with federal agents. And when he talks about ‘collateral arrests,’ we know exactly what that means. It’s not just targets — it’s everyone: parents, workers, people who’ve lived here for years getting swept up for simply being in the wrong place.
That’s intimidation. That’s using fear to force local communities to carry out Trump’s mass deportation agenda.
Law enforcement leaders across this country know that when immigrant families are too afraid to report crimes or cooperate with police, entire communities become less safe. Local leaders aren’t the problem here — they’re the ones actually trying to keep our communities safe.
Threatening cities for trying to build trust between residents and law enforcement isn’t leadership, it’s reckless and counterproductive. We’re not backing down. Not to fear tactics. Not to political theater. Our job is to protect our communities, not terrorize them. And that’s exactly what we’re going to keep doing.”

Rep. Grijalva Visits Dilley Detention Center, Calls for Release of Detained Children and Families
Position: Rep. Grijalva opposes the detention of immigrant families and children at private facilities and calls on the Department of Homeland Security to release detained families currently held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center.
Dilley, Texas – On Tuesday, May 5, Representative Adelita Grijalva visited the Dilley Immigration Processing Center alongside Representative Joaquin Castro and fellow House Democrats. After touring the facility, Rep. Grijalva joined FWD.us and Families Belong Together for a press conference urging the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to release families currently detained there.
During the visit, Rep. Grijalva spoke with several detained families including Mayra, who was detained in Corpus Christi after leaving court with her 13-year-old son, Alberto, and has been unable to get updates on her infant in intensive care. She also met Gabriel, who crossed in Nogales, Arizona with his 16-year-old son seeking asylum; and José and his son Ezequiel, who has a heart murmur.
“From Arizona to Texas, we’re seeing the same pattern: inhumane treatment, neglect, and a complete disregard for basic human dignity inside private detention facilities. Families do not belong in detention. Children do not belong in detention. Yet at Dilley, CoreCivic is making $15 million a month to do exactly that. This is not just inhumane – it’s immoral, and it must end.”
The visit follows Rep. Grijalva’s recent trips to detention centers in Arizona, including Mesa and Eloy, where she met with detainees and successfully advocated for the release of “La Abuela,” a grandmother with dementia who had been held for nine months.

Rep. Grijalva Statement on Bulldozing of 1,000 Year-Old Cultural Site During Border Wall Construction on the Tohono O’odham Nation
Position: Rep. Grijalva opposes continued border wall construction on the Tohono O'odham Nation, citing damage to sacred cultural sites, violations of tribal sovereignty, and ineffectiveness. She calls for halting construction and redirecting the $46 billion toward alternative solutions.
Tucson, AZ – Congresswoman Adelita S. Grijalva released the following statement after a Department of Homeland Security contractor damaged a 1,000-year-old cultural site, the Las Playas Intaglio, during border wall construction on the Tohono O’odham Nation. This is not the first instance a cultural site on the Tohono O’odham Nation has been damaged.
“Bulldozing a 1,000-year-old sacred site is not an accident – it’s the predictable result of rushing forward with a (second) wasteful border wall. It is a blatant act of disrespect and an unacceptable violation of tribal sovereignty, traditions, and the ancestry of the O’odham people,” said Rep. Grijalva. “This is not just temporary damage to land – it is irreparable destruction of a sacred place tied to the O’odham people’s history, identity, and spiritual practices, passed down across generations. Unfortunately, this is not the first time a sacred site has been desecrated by border wall construction – and it will not be the last until the federal government takes its legal obligation to tribal consultation and following environmental laws seriously.”
“The Tohono O’odham Nation has been clear: these walls divide their communities, desecrate sacred land, and do nothing to make us safer. DHS must immediately halt construction, fully investigate this incident, and be held accountable for the damage already done. Instead of wasting $46 billion on a harmful and useless second border wall, this Administration should be investing in real solutions that strengthen our communities.”

Rep. Grijalva Joins Healthcare Providers, Advocates to Spotlight Dangerous GOP Cuts to Medicaid
Position: Rep. Grijalva opposes Republican cuts to Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act, arguing that the $1 trillion in reductions harm vulnerable populations, threaten hospital closures, and prioritize tax breaks for wealthy individuals and corporations over healthcare access.
Washington, D.C. – Congresswoman Adelita Grijalva recently joined Protect Our Care Arizona to mark the ninth annual Medicaid Awareness Month and hold Donald Trump and Republicans accountable for slashing over $1 trillion from Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act to fund tax breaks for billionairesand major corporations. Medicaid is the largest health insurance provider in the country, covering over 68 million Americans, including 1,565,458 Arizonans, and Republicans pulled the rug out from under the program. Children, seniors, people with disabilities and working families who rely on Medicaid are already facing the fallout of this Republican-manufactured health care crisis, as over 108,824 Arizonans have already lost their coverage.
These cuts put hospitals, nursing homes, maternity wards, and critical providers across the state at risk of closing their doors, creating health care deserts and forcing rural communities to travel hours for essential care. So far, eight Arizona hospitals and clinics have closed, risk closure or have announced budget cuts, which will send shockwaves throughout the entire state while also taking away health care workers’ jobs. Panelists discussed the consequences of gutting Medicaid, and held Trump and Republicans accountable for their decision to put tax breaks for billionaires ahead of health care for families.
“They are literally trading the health of our neighbors for the profits of a few,” said Rep. Grijalva. “Medicaid is the largest health insurance provider in this country, covering 68 million Americans. Here in Arizona, it is a lifeline for more than 1.5 million people. These are our children, our seniors, and our families who work multiple jobs just to keep the lights on.”
“Republicans pretend to be ‘anti-bureaucracy’ – yet they pass laws that are designed to bury Arizonans in red tape and prevent them from getting Medicaid coverage. This will cause an estimated 194,000 Arizonans to lose health care coverage. Meanwhile almost 70,000 Arizonans lost health care coveragealready because Republicans refused to extend Affordable Care Act premium assistance.
This isn’t just about insurance coverage; it’s about the very infrastructure of our state. When you gut Medicaid, you also gut our hospitals. In our rural communities—places like Nogales and Bisbee—this is a matter of survival. Rural hospitals rely on Medicaid to keep their doors open. One recent study showed that multiple hospitals across the state are at risk of closing due to Medicaid cuts.”
“I'm a primary care provider and I am on the front lines witnessing something I could have never imagined I would see in this country,” said Joy Maines, PA-C MMS. “The unraveling of care, compassion and the basic solidarity that wants to find us as a nation. It's happening now. It's real and it's frightening. $900 billion dollars or almost a trillion, but I'll say $900 billion dollars in Medicaid cuts, it may sound like a statistic, but statistics don't sit in waiting rooms. Statistics don't receive life altering diagnoses. Statistics don't lose their jobs, their homes or their hope. People do. Our neighbors, our co-workers, the very individuals who hold our communities together.”
“And it's also important for everyone to realize that people that are on Medicaid, they're not poor, they're not lazy, they're not trying to scam the system,” said Chris Fells, Tucson mother and advocate. “People are working and still need to be on Medicaid because they don't have another health insurance option. People on disability go through an extremely difficult process before that is approved. So, I think this stigma that some of our Republican leadership tries to portray, that everyone is out scamming the system and abusing it for Medicaid, is just a ridiculous concept that is so untrue and has to be really focused on so we take that stigma away from people that are on Medicaid and that truly need that.”

Rep. Grijalva Leads Effort to Rein in For-Profit Charter Schools With New Bill
Position: The release advocates for legislation that would prohibit federal education funding from being awarded to charter schools that contract with for-profit entities to operate or manage the school, arguing that for-profit involvement diverts resources from students.
CHARTER Act would ensure every charter school follows federal law
WASHINGTON, DC – Today, Congresswoman Adelita S. Grijalva joined Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro and Congresswoman Suzanne Bonamici in co-leading the Championing Honest and Responsible Transparency in Education Reform (CHARTER) Act, legislation that would amend the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) to ensure funds made available under these Acts are not awarded to charter schools that enter into contracts with a for-profit entity for operating, overseeing, or managing the charter school.
“For too long, for-profit companies in Arizona and across the country have exploited loopholes to cash in on our public education system — putting profits ahead of students and operating with little accountability,” said Congresswoman Adelita Grijalva. "That’s unacceptable. Every dollar meant for our kids should be going into classrooms, teachers, and resources — not into corporate pockets. I'm grateful to join Congresswoman DeLauro in introducing the CHARTER Act so that we can make clear that our children are not a business model to be profited off of."
“For-profit companies are disguising themselves as schools, trading in taxpayer funds for boosted profits at the expense of our children’s learning,” said Congresswoman DeLauro. "For-profits, unlike non-profit organizations, are responsible for maximizing profit for their owners and investors, and that creates tension between what is best for students and what is best for profiteers. The CHARTER Act would reaffirm federal law and ensure that for-profit education management organizations can no longer exploit loopholes that have given them access to funding intended for non-profit entities. Education empowers the American Dream, and every child deserves access to a quality education that puts them first— not profits for owners and investors.”
“Profit should never be a driving force in public education, and charter schools should not be exploited to siphon federal funding into for-profit schemes,” said Congresswoman Suzanne Bonamici. “I’m grateful to be leading this initiative with Rep. DeLauro to keep student funding in public schools where it belongs.”
In 2006, the United States Court of Appeals Ninth Circuit Court in Arizona State Board v. United States Department of Education found that the terms ‘‘elementary school’’ and ‘‘secondary school’’ in the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) of 1965 and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) were limited to nonprofit entities, holding that for-profit charter schools were ineligible for Federal funds under the ESEA and the IDEA. In response to the decision, many for-profit charter schools reorganized as for-profit operators of nonprofit organizations, enabling them to continue to receive federal funds under the ESEA and the IDEA. Using this loophole, charter schools run by for-profit education management organizations (EMOs) or other charter school “operators” receive federal funds only to have their schools run by low-quality, for-profit companies determined to extract taxpayer dollars with little to no public transparency.

Rep. Grijalva Statement on Farm Bill that Cements Cuts to SNAP and Fails to Address Rising Prices for Arizona Farmers
Position: Rep. Grijalva opposes the Republican farm bill for cementing SNAP cuts, failing to address farmer inflation costs driven by tariffs, and attempting to use USDA programs for immigration enforcement. She advocates for SNAP benefit restoration, protection of immigrant eligibility, and direct relief for working families and small farmers.
Washington, D.C. — Representative Adelita S. Grijalva co-led a series of amendments to the Republican-led farm bill to address recent cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), which has resulted in a 47% decrease in SNAP enrollment in Arizona – the largest decline of any state.
The bill, which covers an array of agriculture and food programs including SNAP, was passed on Thursday by House Republicans. Among other provisions, the bill cements cuts to SNAP, rubberstamps Trump’s illegal tariffs, reduces work-safety oversight, attempted to shield big pesticide corporations that knowingly poison our food and children, and does nothing to provide direct relief for working families and small farmers navigating inflation and the rippling effects of Trump’s war in Iran.
“Republicans are choosing to take food out of the mouths of children and seniors, while attempting to shield pesticide corporations that poison our foods,” said Rep. Grijalva. “They chose to rubber-stamp Trump’s illegal tariffs that are hurting Arizona farmers, while refusing to reverse devastating SNAP cuts that are shifting costs to states and have already stripped food assistance from more than 400,000 Arizonans – including 180,000 children.”
Rep. Grijalva’s amendments, which were rejected by House Republicans, aimed to address key gaps in the bill and refocus federal policy on affordability, fairness, and support for vulnerable communities. Her proposals included:
Repealing SNAP benefit cuts included in H.R. 1, known as the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act.”
Prohibiting the conditioning of state and local access to USDA program funding on the disclosure of personal information for immigration enforcement purposes.
Barring the use of USDA programs or data collection for immigration enforcement.
Restoring SNAP eligibility for most lawfully present immigrants, including asylees, refugees, parolees, and survivors of domestic violence.
“These amendments are about making sure federal agriculture policy actually works for the people it’s supposed to serve,” Grijalva added. “Attempting to weaponize USDA to advance Trump’s cruel immigration agenda instead of administering nutritious food that is essential to health and well-being is wrong and will harm families in Arizona. Working families deserve affordable food, and farmers deserve real support as they continue to face rising costs tied to Trump’s illegal tariffs and war in Iran.

Rep. Grijalva Statement Following Passage of DHS Funding Bill
Position: Rep. Grijalva opposes increased funding for ICE and calls for redirecting resources toward healthcare, nutrition assistance, and other domestic priorities. She frames ICE as accountable for citizen deaths and inhumane detention conditions.
Washington, D.C. — Congresswoman Adelita S. Grijalva released the following statement after the House of Representatives voted to fund the Department of Homeland Security:
“Six weeks after House Democrats introduced a discharge petition to pass a clean DHS funding bill without additional funding for ICE, House Republicans finally relented—ending their reckless decision to hold the pay of TSA agents and other federal workers hostage.
This is a win for Democrats, who remain united in demanding that ICE be held accountable for the murders of U.S. citizens, the inhumane conditions at private detention facilities, and for the continued harassment of our communities.
But this fight is far from over. Republicans are still pushing to funnel $70 billion more into ICE through the partisan reconciliation process, which still has a long way to go.
I will continue fighting to ensure this lawless, rogue agency that is terrorizing our communities every day does not receive another penny. Instead, we should be using this funding to lower healthcare costs, reverse the cuts to nutrition assistance, and invest in the American people.”

Grijalva, Ansari, Stanton Introduce Legislation Establishing Clear 12-Hour Limit for ICE Detainee Stays in Temporary Holding Facilities
Position: The representatives support legislation establishing a 12-hour limit for detainee stays in ICE temporary holding facilities, with limited exceptions, and requiring DHS documentation and oversight of conditions to address overcrowding and inhumane detention practices.
Washington, D.C. — Representative Adelita Grijalva (AZ-07), alongside U.S. Representatives Yassamin Ansari (AZ-03) and Greg Stanton (AZ-04), introduced the Short-Term Holding Facilities Standards Restoration Act. The bill addresses overcrowding at temporary ICE holding facilities, such as Mesa Gateway Airport’s Arizona Removal Operations Coordination Center (AROCC), and restores a clear 12-hour limit for detainee stays in ICE holding facilities. This follows the representatives’ unannounced visit to the temporary holding facility at Mesa Gateway Airport on April 9, where they observed significant overcrowding, with rooms holding 40 to 50 people, despite a posted maximum capacity of 21, for much longer than 12 hours on average.
Recent reporting revealed that the City of Mesa is unable to enforce its fire code at the facility, where the population has reached 777 – nearly five times the maximum capacity of 157. The average length of stay in 2026 is approximately 36 hours, compared to the same time frame in 2025, when detainees were held for about 12 hours on average.
“What we saw at AROCC wasn’t just overcrowding — it was a failure of basic humanity. No one should be forced to sleep on concrete floors or share a toilet in full view of dozens of others, in confined spaces never meant for prolonged detention. This bill restores commonsense limits, strengthens oversight, and makes clear that humane treatment is not optional — it’s the law,” said Rep. Grijalva.
“It’s clear that massive overcrowding and stays beyond the facility’s intended short-term holding period are standard operating procedure under Trump’s mass deportation agenda. This legislation brings these facilities back in line with their intended use,” said Rep. Stanton.
“What I’ve witnessed at the Mesa Gateway Airport short-term holding facility in Arizona is a display of disgusting cruelty. People are packed together like sardines in inhumane conditions and held far beyond the time these facilities are meant for,” said Rep. Ansari. “Our legislation places a 12-hour limit on short-term detention and brings transparency and accountability to these shocking facilities directed by Donald Trump and Stephen Miller.”
Following the unannounced visit, the members sent a letter to Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Markwayne Mullin and Acting U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Director Todd Lyons demanding answers about conditions for detainees.
The bill restores the 12-hour limit, while allowing for limited exceptions in cases such as medical emergencies or transportation delays. In 2025, ICE issued a nationwide waiver allowing individuals to be held for up to 72 hours in these facilities, effectively tripling the permissible detention time. This bill addresses that concern. It also requires the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to document and justify any extended detention and to ensure humane conditions in holding facilities, thereby strengthening oversight by mandating recordkeeping, annual reporting to Congress, and periodic audits by the DHS Inspector General.
