Secure the Border Act of 2023
92/100
What they said
May 20, 2026
Opposes a proposed constitutional amendment that would bar naturalized citizens from serving in Congress, the federal judiciary, and Senate-confirmed positions. The statement argues that naturalized citizens have historically strengthened America and that patriotism should be measured by service and character, not birthplace.
Krishnamoorthi's statement opposes restricting naturalized citizens' eligibility for federal office and emphasizes their contributions to America. The Secure the Border Act focuses on border wall construction and asylum restrictions—distinct immigration policy questions that do not directly address naturalized citizen eligibility. His NO vote on a border security bill is consistent with a broader pro-immigration stance reflected in his statement, though the specific policy questions differ. The vote and statement align directionally on immigration values without addressing the same specific provision.
Congressman Krishnamoorthi calls on the Small Business Administration to provide immediate federal support to Illinois small businesses harmed by Operation Midway Blitz immigration enforcement actions, and demands a formal economic impact assessment of the operation's effects on local enterprises.
Krishnamoorthi's statement opposes the economic harm caused by immigration enforcement operations and demands federal support for affected small businesses. His no vote on the Secure the Border Act—which expands border enforcement and immigration restrictions—is consistent with this position, as the bill would likely intensify enforcement activities similar to Operation Midway Blitz that he criticizes for damaging local economies.
Congressman Krishnamoorthi expresses concern about rising Islamophobia and antisemitism in the United States, condemns hate rhetoric from elected officials, and opposes the diversion of FBI counterterrorism resources to support immigration enforcement operations.
Krishnamoorthi's statement opposes diverting FBI counterterrorism resources to immigration enforcement, arguing it makes Americans less safe. The No Bailout for Sanctuary Cities Act penalizes jurisdictions that restrict cooperation with immigration enforcement, which would indirectly pressure law enforcement to prioritize immigration work. His NO vote aligns with his stated concern that immigration enforcement diverts resources from counterterrorism priorities. The statement does not directly address sanctuary city funding, but both the statement and vote reflect opposition to prioritizing immigration enforcement over other law enforcement functions.
Congressman Krishnamoorthi expresses concern about rising Islamophobia and antisemitism in the United States, condemns hate rhetoric from elected officials, and opposes the diversion of FBI counterterrorism resources to support immigration enforcement operations.
Krishnamoorthi's statement opposes diverting FBI counterterrorism resources to immigration enforcement, expressing concern that this makes Americans less safe. The Secure the Border Act is primarily a border security and immigration enforcement bill that would expand DHS activities and potentially increase demand for federal law enforcement resources in immigration contexts. His NO vote on passage is consistent with his stated position that counterterrorism resources should not be diverted to immigration enforcement. The statement does not address border wall construction or asylum limits specifically, but the core concern—resource allocation away from counterterrorism—aligns with opposition to an immigration enforcement expansion bill.
Congressman Krishnamoorthi expresses concern about rising Islamophobia and antisemitism in the United States, condemns hate rhetoric from elected officials, and opposes the diversion of FBI counterterrorism resources to support immigration enforcement operations.
Krishnamoorthi's statement opposes diverting FBI counterterrorism resources to immigration enforcement, expressing concern that this makes Americans less safe. The Laken Riley Act mandates DHS detention of non-U.S. nationals arrested for certain property crimes, which would require coordination with law enforcement and potentially draw resources toward immigration enforcement priorities. His NO vote on passage aligns with his stated opposition to redirecting counterterrorism capacity toward immigration operations. The statement does not address the bill's detention or state-lawsuit provisions directly, but the core concern about resource diversion is substantively aligned with voting against the bill.
Congressman Krishnamoorthi calls on the Small Business Administration to provide immediate federal support to Illinois small businesses harmed by Operation Midway Blitz immigration enforcement actions, and demands a formal economic impact assessment of the operation's effects on local enterprises.
Krishnamoorthi's statement opposes immigration enforcement actions (Operation Midway Blitz) that he characterizes as causing severe economic harm to small businesses and communities. The POLICE Act expands deportation grounds for assault of law enforcement, which would strengthen immigration enforcement tools. His NO vote on the bill's passage aligns with his stated opposition to aggressive immigration enforcement and concern for its economic impact on vulnerable communities. The vote and statement point in the same direction on the underlying question of immigration enforcement scope.
Congressman Krishnamoorthi opposes Trump's military escalation in Iran, characterizing it as an unauthorized war that has weakened U.S. security and destabilized global markets. He calls for immediate negotiation to end the conflict.
Krishnamoorthi's statement opposes Trump's military escalation in Iran and calls for negotiation rather than continued military action. His no vote on the FY2025 DOD appropriations bill is directionally consistent with this position—voting against a defense budget can reflect opposition to military spending and escalation. However, the bill funds broad DOD operations across multiple categories (personnel, maintenance, procurement, R&D), not specifically Iran operations, so the vote may reflect objections to overall defense spending levels or other provisions rather than solely the Iran policy position stated in the press release.
Transnational Criminal Organization Illicit Spotter Prevention and Elimination Act

What they said
May 20, 2026
Congressman Krishnamoorthi expresses concern about rising Islamophobia and antisemitism in the United States, condemns hate rhetoric from elected officials, and opposes the diversion of FBI counterterrorism resources to support immigration enforcement operations.
The statement opposes diverting FBI counterterrorism resources to immigration enforcement, arguing it makes Americans less safe. The bill creates criminal penalties for border-control interference and enhances immigration-related offenses. While both touch immigration enforcement, the statement criticizes resource diversion from counterterrorism to immigration work, whereas the bill addresses criminal penalties for specific border-interference conduct—a narrower question about enforcement tools rather than resource allocation priorities. The rep's NO vote aligns with skepticism toward immigration-enforcement expansion, but the bill does not directly address the counterterrorism-resource-diversion concern the statement emphasizes.
Israel Security Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2024

What they said
Apr 22, 2026
Congressman Krishnamoorthi opposes Trump's military escalation in Iran, characterizing it as an unauthorized war that has weakened U.S. security and destabilized global markets. He calls for immediate negotiation to end the conflict.
Krishnamoorthi's statement opposes military escalation and calls for negotiation rather than continued conflict. His no vote on a bill providing supplemental defense appropriations and expanding presidential authority to transfer defense articles to Israel aligns with that opposition to escalation. However, the bill specifically addresses Israel's defensive needs following attacks, which is a narrower question than the broader Iran conflict Krishnamoorthi criticizes. The vote is consistent with his stated position against escalation, though the bill's focus on Israel's defense systems rather than Iran operations creates some directional ambiguity.
Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2024
75/100
What they said
Apr 19, 2026
Congressman Krishnamoorthi calls on the Small Business Administration to provide immediate federal support to Illinois small businesses harmed by Operation Midway Blitz immigration enforcement actions, and demands a formal economic impact assessment of the operation's effects on local enterprises.
Krishnamoorthi's statement criticizes the economic harm caused by Operation Midway Blitz immigration enforcement and demands SBA support for affected businesses. His NO vote on the DHS appropriations bill that funds ICE and other enforcement agencies is directionally consistent with opposition to the operation's impacts. However, the bill is a broad appropriations measure funding multiple DHS functions (border security, cybersecurity, FEMA, etc.), not a targeted measure addressing Operation Midway Blitz specifically. The NO vote reflects opposition to the overall DHS funding package, which may bundle provisions the rep supports with enforcement operations he opposes.

Congressman Krishnamoorthi calls on the Small Business Administration to provide immediate federal support to Illinois small businesses harmed by Operation Midway Blitz immigration enforcement actions, and demands a formal economic impact assessment of the operation's effects on local enterprises.
Krishnamoorthi's statement criticizes Operation Midway Blitz immigration enforcement and demands SBA support for affected small businesses. His NO vote on the DHS appropriations bill that funds ICE and immigration enforcement operations is directionally consistent with opposition to aggressive immigration enforcement. However, the bill is a broad appropriations measure funding multiple DHS agencies and functions beyond immigration enforcement alone, so the vote may reflect objections to other provisions or overall budget priorities rather than solely the immigration enforcement question the statement addresses.
Continuing Appropriations and Border Security Enhancement Act, 2024
75/100
What they said
Apr 19, 2026
Congressman Krishnamoorthi calls on the Small Business Administration to provide immediate federal support to Illinois small businesses harmed by Operation Midway Blitz immigration enforcement actions, and demands a formal economic impact assessment of the operation's effects on local enterprises.
Krishnamoorthi's statement criticizes Operation Midway Blitz immigration enforcement and demands SBA support for economically harmed small businesses. The bill he voted against includes both continuing appropriations and immigration law changes (asylum limits). While the bill does not directly address Operation Midway Blitz or SBA relief for affected businesses, it does fund DHS and includes immigration enforcement provisions. A no vote is generally consistent with opposing immigration enforcement actions that harm local economies, though the bill's primary purpose is routine appropriations and the specific relief mechanism Krishnamoorthi demands is not present in the bill text.
The release supports legislation requiring the Pentagon to report to Congress on lessons from Ukraine's battlefield innovations, such as drones, electronic warfare, and decentralized weapons production, and to develop a plan for incorporating them into U.S. military doctrine and training.
The statement promotes a Pentagon reporting requirement on lessons from Ukraine's battlefield innovations, while the Ukraine Support Act is a broad package of lend-lease, loans, sanctions, and reconstruction funding that does not address doctrine or training reports. Both support Ukraine and related defense learning, so the yes vote is directionally aligned, but the bill's provisions do not directly take up the specific question the statement addresses.
Detain and Deport Illegal Aliens Who Assault Cops Act
45/100
What they said
Apr 19, 2026
Congressman Krishnamoorthi calls on the Small Business Administration to provide immediate federal support to Illinois small businesses harmed by Operation Midway Blitz immigration enforcement actions, and demands a formal economic impact assessment of the operation's effects on local enterprises.
Both the statement and bill address immigration enforcement, but they target different specific questions. The statement opposes the economic harms of broad immigration enforcement operations (Operation Midway Blitz) and calls for SBA support for affected businesses. The bill mandates detention and deportation of non-U.S. nationals who assault law enforcement—a narrower, crime-specific enforcement measure. Krishnamoorthi's NO vote on this bill is consistent with his general opposition to aggressive immigration enforcement, but the bill does not directly address the economic-impact assessment or small-business relief that the statement demands. The vote and statement align directionally on enforcement skepticism, but the bill's specific provision (mandatory detention for assault of first responders) is not the same question the statement raises.

Krishnamoorthi Leads Ten Colleagues in Challenging Trump Administration's 255-Character Rule That Could Delay School Funding
Position: Representative Krishnamoorthi and ten colleagues oppose the Department of Education's requirement that grant recipients provide written justifications of up to 255 characters for payment requests, arguing it could delay federal school funding. They request written answers from the Department on its statutory authority, review standards, and staffing.
WASHINGTON — Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi (IL-08) led ten fellow lawmakers in challenging a new Trump administration requirement forcing schools and other Department of Education grant recipients to provide a written justification of no more than 255 characters every time they request payment from previously approved federal grants. In a letter to Education Secretary Linda McMahon and Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary Murray Bessette, the lawmakers warned that the requirement, which takes effect November 1, could delay funding for reading instruction, special education, and other essential school services.
The Department's September 28 memorandum requires each justification to identify the federal program, expense categories and amounts, and dates of expenditures. Payments can be held for additional review if the Department deems a justification invalid or incomplete. The requirement is part of the administration's “Defend the Spend” initiative, which the Department says is intended to improve transparency. The lawmakers argued that existing reporting and auditing requirements already provide financial oversight, while the new mandate creates additional opportunities to delay payments.
“If a justification triggers additional review, the payment can be held pending further explanation. For a small district with limited finance staff and tight cash flow, even a temporary delay could jeopardize payroll or interrupt services for students,” the lawmakers wrote.
The requirement is part of the administration's “Defend the Spend” initiative, which it says is intended to improve transparency. The lawmakers questioned its value given existing financial oversight requirements.
“Congress appropriated these funds to support public education and expand opportunities for students, not for the administration to slow-walk their disbursement by creating new bureaucratic red tape,” the lawmakers wrote.
Joining Krishnamoorthi on the letter were Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC) and Representatives Glenn Ivey (D-MD), Shri Thanedar (D-MI), Adelita Grijalva (D-AZ), Jennifer McClellan (D-VA), Lucy McBath (D-GA), Jared Huffman (D-CA), Chellie Pingree (D-ME), Alma Adams (D-NC), and Judy Chu (D-CA).
The lawmakers requested written responses by October 30, 2026, to the following questions:
What specific statutory authority does the Department rely on to impose new requirements on the disbursement of congressionally appropriated funds?
On what basis did the Department of Education determine that formula programs such as Title I, Part A and IDEA Part B are covered by this announcement?
What standard will the Department of Education use to decide whether a justification is “invalid or incomplete”?
Will justifications be reviewed by staff, by automated systems, or by both?
How many Department of Education staff have been assigned to review justifications?
What is the maximum time between a grantee’s submission and the release of funds?
Will a payment request be deemed approved if the Department does not act within that time?
For grants already subject to this requirement through partner agencies, what share of payment requests has been delayed?
Is there a process to expedite a request when a delay threatens payroll or services?
Has the Department of Education estimated the administrative burden and cost this requirement will impose on states, districts, institutions of higher education, and community-based organizations?
If so, please provide that analysis.

Krishnamoorthi Presents $2 Million Check for Elgin Community College’s Advanced Manufacturing Training
Position: The release announces $2 million in federal funding for advanced manufacturing training equipment at Elgin Community College and states that career and technical education should be a viable path to good-paying careers alongside four-year degrees.
CHICAGO — Today, Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi joined Chicago Deputy Mayor for Education and Youth Khari Humphries, Elgin Community College (ECC) President Dr. Peggy Heinrich, ECC Board of Trustees Chair Jennifer Rakow, HIRE360 Executive Director Jay Rowell, and Chicago Aldermen Stephanie Coleman, David Moore, and Gil Villegas at HIRE360’s Training and Business Development Center. Krishnamoorthi presented a ceremonial $2 million check representing federal funding he secured for advanced manufacturing training equipment at ECC.
The investment supports the college’s new 150,000-square-foot Manufacturing and Technology Center, which began classes in August and is already serving nearly 600 students through programs in robotics, automation, welding, HVAC, industrial maintenance, and energy management. The event also featured remarks from Deputy Mayor Humphries and firsthand accounts from HIRE360 apprenticeship program participants about their training and preparation for careers in the skilled trades.
“A four-year degree must not be the only path to a good-paying career,” said Congressman Krishnamoorthi. “That's why I secured $2 million for advanced manufacturing training equipment at Elgin Community College and previously secured $1 million to help establish HIRE360's training center, where Jay Rowell and his team are doing tremendous work preparing Illinoisans for union apprenticeships. Whether students are learning to operate sophisticated equipment or training for the skilled trades, career and technical education gives them the skills employers need and the opportunity to build rewarding careers, support their families, and strengthen our economy.”
The investment builds on $936,000 Krishnamoorthi previously secured for ECC’s mechatronics and automation programs in 2023. He also secured $1 million in federal funding for HIRE360’s Training and Business Development Center, which opened in Chicago in 2024. This year, HIRE360’s pre-apprenticeship programs graduated 49 participants in Kane and Cook counties.
Krishnamoorthi helped write the bipartisan Strengthening Career and Technical Education for the 21st Century Act, signed into law in 2018, and helped introduce the bipartisan Skills-Based Federal Contracting Act, which passed both chambers of Congress and would prohibit unnecessary educational requirements for federal contractor personnel unless agencies provide written justification.
Krishnamoorthi, Pettersen Lead 35 Lawmakers Demanding Answers on ICE’s Backdoor Access to Flock Surveillance Network
Position: The release calls on ICE to explain its use of local police to access Flock Safety's license plate surveillance network, including whose movements have been tracked, how the data was used, and what legal authority permits it. It criticizes the practice as a circumvention of Fourth Amendment protections and cites the lawmakers' support for the bipartisan NO FLOCK Act.
WASHINGTON — Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-IL) and Congresswoman Brittany Pettersen (D-CO) today led 33 other House Democrats in demanding answers from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) following reports that the agency has used local police to gain backdoor access to Flock Safety's nationwide license plate surveillance network. In a letter to Acting ICE Director David Venturella, the lawmakers demanded information about whose movements ICE has been tracking, how the information has been used, and what legal authority permits this surveillance. The letter follows Krishnamoorthi's previous investigation into Flock's surveillance practices and his introduction of the bipartisan NO FLOCK Act.
“ICE’s use of local police as a backdoor to access Flock’s license plate cameras and secretly track Americans’ movements is an outrageous abuse of power,” said Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi. “The Trump administration cannot use local law enforcement to circumvent the Fourth Amendment and evade accountability. We are demanding answers about who ICE has been tracking, how this information has been used, and whether anyone has been detained or arrested as a result of this surveillance.”
“Reports that ICE is using local police as a backdoor to track people’s movements is terrifying and should alarm every single one of us. Especially during the Trump administration, which is looking for every opportunity to track and deport even law-abiding people,” said Congresswoman Pettersen. “I’m demanding answers about who ICE is tracking, how this information is being used, and what is stopping agents from abusing it. ICE does not get a blank check to spy on families and communities.”
Recent reporting uncovered more than 4,000 searches of Flock camera data by state and local law enforcement for federal authorities or potential immigration enforcement purposes. The reporting described how ICE obtained access through local police despite having no formal contract with Flock governing that access. Flock's automatic license plate readers record vehicle locations, allowing law enforcement to search camera networks and track individuals' movements across communities and state lines.
In their letter, the lawmakers write:
“The ability of federal agents to access vast quantities of location tracking data, without judicial authorization and without public disclosure, constitutes an unprecedented intrusion into the privacy of the general public, and must be explained immediately.”
The lawmakers requested responses by November 20, 2026, to the following questions:
How many times has an ICE agent obtained data from Flock Cameras, whether directly or through state or local law enforcement partners?
For what purpose is ICE accessing and obtaining data from Flock Cameras?
Have any individuals been detained, arrested, or otherwise subjected to enforcement actions as a result of information obtained from Flock Cameras? If yes, please provide that number.
What authority or legal statute is ICE purporting to operate under when accessing Flock Camera data? Please provide that authority or legal statute.
Does ICE maintain any internal policy governing the use of ALPR data obtained through third party or indirect means? If so, please provide that policy.
Has ICE conducted any legal review regarding whether accessing ALPR data through state or local partners complies with federal privacy protections, the Fourth Amendment, or DHS policy? If so, please provide that review. If not, please indicate whether the agency plans to do so.
Does ICE intend to formalize a contract or memorandum of understanding with Flock Safety or any other ALPR vendor?
Congressman Krishnamoorthi previously partnered with House Oversight Committee Ranking Member Robert Garcia to investigate Flock Safety's surveillance practices, including the use of license plate data to track women seeking abortion care and conduct unauthorized immigration enforcement. He also joined Senator Ron Wyden in calling for a Federal Trade Commission investigation into Flock's cybersecurity practices and introduced the bipartisan NO FLOCK Act with Congressman Michael Cloud to condition federal transportation funding on states restricting license plate reader use to specified public safety and toll enforcement purposes.

Krishnamoorthi Leads 105 Lawmakers Urging FBI Hate Crime Probe After Attempted Mass Shooting at His Family’s Hindu Temple in Aurora
Position: Members of Congress urge the FBI to investigate an attempted attack on a Hindu temple in Aurora, Illinois as a potential federal hate crime, and to address online threats against South Asian communities. They also criticize federal agency messaging they say legitimizes racial and religious stereotyping of South Asians.
WASHINGTON — Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-IL) today led 105 members of Congress, including the entire Illinois House Democratic delegation, every Indian American member of Congress, and Senators Dick Durbin, Tammy Duckworth, Andy Kim, and Chris Van Hollen, in urging FBI Director Kash Patel to investigate the attempted mass shooting at the Sri Venkateswara Swami (Balaji) Hindu temple in Aurora, Illinois, as a potential federal hate crime. Krishnamoorthi and his family were worshipping at the temple when the attempted attack occurred on October 11. The lawmakers also demanded answers about the FBI’s efforts to identify and address credible online threats targeting Indian Americans, Hindu Americans, and other South Asian communities.
According to prosecutors, 19-year-old Alexandros Paporakis, a self-identified neo-Nazi, tried to shoot a man outside the temple, but his rifle jammed. He fled and later communicated plans to return before a coworker alerted police, who arrested him that day. Prosecutors allege that he authored an eight-page white supremacist manifesto describing violence against people of Indian descent at a Hindu house of worship. Investigators recovered a rifle, hundreds of rounds of ammunition, body armor, and white supremacist imagery.
In the letter, the lawmakers write:
“The alleged combination of targeted racial hatred, a religious setting, and preparations for mass violence demands a comprehensive federal response. We appreciate the FBI’s reported assistance to local investigators and urge the Bureau to ensure that potential hate-crime violations receive explicit attention.”
The letter comes amid a surge in online hostility toward South Asians. A September 2026 report identified more than 542,000 anti-South Asian hateful posts on X between January 2025 and June 2026, with the monthly volume rising approximately 240 percent from January 2024 to June 2026. A Carnegie Endowment survey also found that 48 percent of Indian American respondents encountered racist posts targeting their community very or somewhat often since the start of 2025, while one in four reported being called a slur.
The lawmakers also criticize Trump Administration messaging that they warn risks legitimizing racial and religious stereotypes. They cite a Department of Homeland Security post depicting a Sikh man with the message, “Get off our roads, you don’t know how to drive Mr. Singh,” and a Department of Education post declaring “Make College Football Great Again” after a Texas Republican complained about South Asians attending a University of Texas football game.
The lawmakers continue:
“We believe such messaging risks lending governmental legitimacy to racial and religious stereotyping. Federal agencies should make clear that debates over immigration or public safety never justify collective suspicion of Indian, Sikh, Hindu, or other South Asian communities.”
The lawmakers are seeking information on whether the FBI is examining potential racial, ethnic, and religious bias in the Aurora case, whether online platforms or other individuals facilitated the alleged plot, and what steps the Bureau is taking to protect houses of worship and address credible threats without infringing on First Amendment protections.
The lawmakers requested a written response to the following questions, to the extent consistent with an ongoing investigation, by October 29, 2026:
Is the FBI investigating the alleged Aurora-area plot as a potential federal hate crime? If so, is that investigation examining both racial or ethnic bias and religious bias, and is the Bureau coordinating with the Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division and the appropriate U.S. Attorney’s Office?
Are investigators examining whether the defendant used online platforms to communicate threats, select potential targets, obtain assistance, or coordinate with others? Are they assessing whether any individuals encouraged or materially assisted the alleged plot?
What steps is the FBI taking, consistent with the First Amendment and applicable investigative authorities, to identify and assess credible online threats targeting Indian Americans, Hindu Americans, Sikhs, and other South Asian communities? How does the Bureau distinguish protected expression, including offensive speech, from threats and conduct warranting investigation?
What mechanisms exist for sharing actionable threat information with state and local law enforcement and potentially targeted houses of worship? What outreach and protective resources are being offered to affected communities following this alleged plot?
Does the FBI have adequate personnel, language expertise, and analytical capacity to assess threats involving anti-Indian, anti-Hindu, and broader anti-South Asian bias? What additional resources, if any, does the Bureau believe it needs?
The lawmakers conclude:
“No one should fear being targeted because of their ancestry, appearance, or faith, and no congregation should have to wonder whether gathering for worship will make its members targets of mass violence. We urge the FBI to investigate the evidence fully, pursue all applicable offenses, and provide affected communities with a clear account of the steps being taken to protect them.”

Krishnamoorthi Responds to Attempted Mass Shooting at His Family’s Hindu Temple in Aurora, Warns of Surging Anti-Indian Hate
Position: The congressman condemns the attempted mass shooting at a Hindu temple and warns that anti-Indian hatred and white supremacy pose a serious threat that must be taken seriously before violence occurs. He commends the coworkers who alerted police and the law enforcement officers who intervened.
SCHAUMBURG — Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-IL) issued the following statement after authorities arrested a 19-year-old man accused of attempting to carry out a mass shooting targeting Indian Americans at a Hindu temple in Aurora, Illinois. According to prosecutors, the suspect, who espoused white supremacist and neo-Nazi beliefs, allegedly attempted to open fire Sunday before his rifle jammed. After he told coworkers what happened and shared plans to try again, they alerted police, who arrested him before he could return.
“I am horrified that a white supremacist attempted to carry out a mass shooting targeting Indian Americans at the Hindu temple in Aurora where my family worships. My family and I were there when the attack was attempted last Sunday. The threat of such violence shows how dangerous anti-Indian hatred and white supremacy have become, and we cannot wait until innocent people are killed to take these threats seriously. I am grateful to the suspect’s coworkers who alerted police and commend the law enforcement officers who intervened. Every American deserves to live and worship without fear, and we must stand together against hatred in all its forms.”
Krishnamoorthi Joins Warren, Garcia, Bipartisan Lawmakers in Introducing Bill to Hold Bankers Who Financed Jeffrey Epstein’s Sex Trafficking Operation Accountable
Position: Introduces the Epstein Wall Street Records Act, which would require federal financial regulators to release Epstein-related supervisory records, investigate Epstein-connected banks and executives, and impose industry bars, civil penalties, or DOJ referrals for qualifying violations.
WASHINGTON — Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-Ill.) today joined U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), Ranking Member of the Senate Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs Committee, and Congressman Robert Garcia (D-Cal.), Ranking Member of the House Oversight Committee, along with Congressmen Ro Khanna (D-Cal.) and Thomas Massie (R-Ken.), and Senators Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), Ranking Member of the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, and Ron Wyden (D-Ore.), Ranking Member of the Senate Finance Committee, in introducing the bipartisan Epstein Wall Street Records Act. The bill seeks accountability for the financial institutions and bank executives that may have enabled disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking operation.
“Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking operation left a money trail, and Wall Street has serious questions to answer. Our legislation will force federal regulators to release their records, investigate the banks and executives who may have enabled his crimes, and hold lawbreakers accountable,” said Congressman Krishnamoorthi. “Epstein’s survivors deserve the full truth, no matter how powerful or well-connected those responsible may be.”
Extensive reporting and congressional probes have revealed the degree to which Wall Street empowered Epstein’s crimes. According to The New York Times Magazine, executives at JPMorgan assisted Epstein in evading internal controls meant to intercept suspicious activity, allowing him to avoid scrutiny. An August investigation by Senate Finance Committee Ranking Member Ron Wyden's staff found “significant evidence that JPMorgan Chase, Deutsche Bank, and Bank of America violated federal anti-money laundering laws by failing to screen and report Epstein’s suspicious financial transactions in a timely manner.”
Krishnamoorthi has previously joined Warren in pressing Goldman Sachs over its handling of Kathryn Ruemmler’s ties to Epstein, and joined Warren and Khanna in demanding answers from Barclays about former CEO Jes Staley’s relationship with Epstein. At a May hearing with Epstein survivors, Krishnamoorthi also demanded that the Treasury Department release suspicious activity reports tied to Epstein’s financial transactions.
The Epstein Wall Street Records Act would:
Require federal financial regulators, including the Federal Reserve, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), and Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), to disclose supervisory records related to Epstein and his associates to Congress and the American people, while protecting survivors' identifying information.
Force the financial regulators to investigate Epstein-connected banks and executives for possible banking, securities, or illicit financing violations.
Require industry bars or civil penalties for executives found to have committed qualifying violations, as well as referrals to the Department of Justice when regulators identify possible federal crimes.
“I have spent the last year calling on Donald Trump’s financial regulators to launch investigations into the big banks and executives who may have enabled Jeffrey Epstein’s horrific crimes,” said Ranking Member Warren. “Since they have failed to act, Congress must. The bipartisan Epstein Wall Street Records Act will ensure overdue accountability for the wealthy and well-connected on Wall Street who put profits over people.”
“Jeffrey Epstein used his immense wealth to abuse women and girls for decades. Meanwhile, banks and financial institutions enriched him and themselves by servicing his accounts and helping him move money around,” said Ranking Member Garcia. “We need to know what financial institutions and their executives knew about Epstein, whether they complied with relevant law, and what regulatory agencies learned.”
“The Epstein Wall Street Records Act is about transparency and releasing financial records that are critical to holding the Epstein Class accountable and fighting to get justice for the survivors. I’m proud to cosponsor this bipartisan bill,” said Representative Khanna.
“The Epstein Wall Street Records Act requires the Federal Reserve, the FDIC, the Comptroller of the Currency, and the SEC to release their files on Jeffrey Epstein’s money,” said Representative Massie. “The Epstein Files Transparency Act forced the Attorney General to release DOJ, FBI, and U.S. Attorney’s Offices’ files. This bill does the same for bank regulators. Justice for the survivors means following the money.”
“For far too long, financial institutions have leveraged their power, influence, and privilege to evade accountability. Their role in enabling Jeffrey Epstein’s decades of sexual exploitation and abuse demands serious scrutiny. That is why World Without Exploitation is proud to support the Epstein Wall Street Records Act of 2026,” said Becca Zipkin, Vice President of Policy and Programs, World Without Exploitation. “We must follow the money to uncover the truth and ensure that the financial institutions that enabled this abuse are held accountable. Survivors deserve transparency, accountability, and the justice they have long been denied."
The cosponsors of the Epstein Wall Street Records Act include: Senator Ben Ray Luján (D-N.M.), as well as Representatives Stephen Lynch (D-Mass.), Shontel Brown (D-Ohio), Melanie Stansbury (D-N.M.), Maxwell Frost (D-Fla.), Jasmine Crockett (D-Tex.), Emily Randall (D-Wash.), Suhas Subramanyam (D-Va.), Yassamin Ansari (D-Ariz.), Wesley Bell (D-Mo.), Lateefah Simon (D-Cal.), Dave Min (D-Cal.), James Walkinshaw (D-Va.), Christian Menefee (D-Tex.), Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.), Kweisi Mfume (D-Md.), Greg Casar (D-Tex.), and Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-D.C.).

Krishnamoorthi Demands Answers on FDA Move to Rewrite Vaping Approval Rules, Blasts Weakening of Scientific Standards
Position: Krishnamoorthi opposes FDA's consideration of rewriting the 2021 premarket tobacco application rules, arguing that illicit sales should not justify lowering evidentiary standards for new tobacco and vaping products. He also criticizes the FDA's authorization of flavored e-cigarette products and requests information on the agency's communications with industry and litigants.
WASHINGTON — Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-IL), co-chair of the bipartisan Congressional Caucus to End Youth Vaping, today demanded answers from Food and Drug Administration Acting Commissioner Kyle Diamantas over FDA’s September 28 announcement that it is considering new rulemaking to replace the 2021 regulations governing approval of new tobacco products, pressing the agency over whether the move could weaken the scientific standards manufacturers must meet.
Krishnamoorthi is also demanding to know whether FDA discussed potential changes with tobacco manufacturers, industry associations, or parties challenging the current rules before announcing its review, and is seeking communications between agency officials and Altria, Reynolds American, their subsidiaries and representatives, and other parties challenging the framework.
FDA announced its review less than four weeks after Altria subsidiaries NJOY and Helix Innovations sued the agency over the current Premarket Tobacco Product Application framework. FDA itself cited recent litigation challenging the framework, along with the widespread illicit tobacco market, in explaining its decision to consider replacing the rule.
“The widespread sale of illegal products is an enforcement problem,” Krishnamoorthi wrote. “It should not become a justification for lowering the evidentiary requirements manufacturers must satisfy before FDA authorizes their products.”
Krishnamoorthi also raised concerns about the review in light of FDA’s recent authorization of flavored e-cigarette products. In May, the agency authorized Glas products in mango and blueberry flavors despite FDA data indicating that fruit-flavored e-cigarettes are the most popular flavor among youth. The letter notes that the FDA Center for Tobacco Products did not require the manufacturer to demonstrate that the flavors provided an added benefit to adults attempting to transition from combustible products, and that former FDA Commissioner Marty Makary reportedly resigned in part amid political interference surrounding the authorization.
FDA then authorized additional JUUL products on August 28, including a JUUL2 menthol product.
“FDA acknowledged that the menthol product carries risks ‘including youth appeal,’ but concluded that its benefits to adults who smoke outweighed those risks,” Krishnamoorthi wrote. “Exactly one month later, FDA announced that it may replace the broader framework governing applications for new tobacco products.”
Krishnamoorthi concluded:
“The FDA’s job is to protect public health, not make it easier for tobacco companies to evade rigorous scientific review. The agency should crack down on companies selling illegal products, not use their lawbreaking as a rationale for weakening safeguards governing products seeking FDA authorization.”
Krishnamoorthi requested written responses by October 20, 2026, to the following questions:
Which specific provisions of the 2021 PMTA rule is FDA considering changing or eliminating, and what evidence supports each potential change?
Will FDA commit that any replacement framework will not lower the scientific evidentiary bar manufacturers must meet to demonstrate that marketing their products is appropriate for the protection of public health? If not, why not?
Did FDA discuss potential changes to the 2021 PMTA rule with any tobacco product manufacturer, industry association, or party challenging the 2021 PMTA rule before announcing its review? Please identify each such entity and provide all communications since January 20, 2025, between FDA officials and those entities. Please also provide all communications since January 20, 2025, between FDA officials and Altria, Reynolds American, their subsidiaries or representatives, and any other party challenging the rule concerning the PMTA framework or potential changes to it.
How does the existence of a widespread illicit market justify changes to the regulatory requirements governing products seeking lawful authorization? What connection has FDA identified between illegal sales and the scientific evidence manufacturers should be required to provide before receiving authorization?
What additional enforcement actions will FDA take, in coordination with the Department of Justice and U.S. Customs and Border Protection, to remove unauthorized e-cigarettes from the U.S. market?
The full letter is available here.
Congressman Krishnamoorthi has led congressional efforts to combat youth vaping and hold tobacco companies accountable. In 2019, he launched the first congressional investigation into youth vaping, exposing JUUL’s marketing tactics and pushing legislation to ban flavored e-cigarettes and close the synthetic nicotine loophole. He has since led bipartisan efforts urging federal agencies to crack down on illegal flavored vapes and launched an investigation into illicit vaping products from China advertised to children. In 2025, Krishnamoorthi and Congresswoman Celeste Maloy (R-UT), his fellow co-chair of the Congressional Caucus to End Youth Vaping, called on FDA to strengthen enforcement as more than 6,000 flavored products remained on the market. Most recently, Krishnamoorthi helped introduce the bipartisan PROTECT Act to strengthen federal efforts to prevent and reduce youth e-cigarette use.
Krishnamoorthi and Vindman Introduce LESSONS from Ukraine Act to Apply Ukraine’s Battlefield Innovations to U.S. Military
Position: The release supports legislation requiring the Pentagon to report to Congress on lessons from Ukraine's battlefield innovations, such as drones, electronic warfare, and decentralized weapons production, and to develop a plan for incorporating them into U.S. military doctrine and training.
WASHINGTON — On Monday, Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi (IL-08), a senior member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, and Congressman Eugene Vindman (VA-07), a 25-year Army veteran, introduced the Learning Effective Strategies and Systems Optimization for National Security (LESSONS) from Ukraine Act, legislation requiring the Pentagon to study and apply lessons from Ukraine’s battlefield innovations to U.S. military doctrine and training.
“During my visit to Ukraine, I saw firsthand how the Ukrainians are rapidly adapting to a battlefield where drones and electronic warfare are changing how wars are fought,” Congressman Krishnamoorthi said. “The LESSONS from Ukraine Act will make sure our military learns from what Ukraine has discovered through years of defending itself against Putin’s invasion, from countering drone swarms and operating through electronic warfare to sustaining weapons production under attack. We need to put those lessons to work to strengthen our own military, protect our servicemembers, and ensure we are prepared to deter aggression across the world.”
“Ukraine’s defense against Russia has shown just how rapidly modern warfare is evolving. I saw that firsthand during my trip to Ukraine last month, where drones, electronic warfare, cyber operations, and defense manufacturing are reshaping the battlefield in real time,” said Vindman. "As a 25-year Army veteran, I know our military must constantly learn, adapt, and innovate to maintain our strategic advantage and protect our service members. The LESSONS from Ukraine Act will ensure the Department of Defense learns from Ukraine’s hard-earned experience and applies those lessons to our doctrine, training, and capabilities so our military is prepared for the threats of tomorrow.”
The LESSONS from Ukraine Act would require the Secretary of Defense to report to Congress within 120 days on lessons the U.S. military can draw from the Russia-Ukraine War, including the use of drones and other unmanned systems, electronic and cyber warfare, air defense, operations without GPS or satellite communications, battlefield medicine, and Ukraine’s efforts to expand and decentralize weapons production. The Pentagon would also be required to develop a plan and timetable for incorporating those lessons into U.S. military doctrine and training. Congressman Krishnamoorthi first announced the legislation following an August official visit to Ukraine, where he visited a Ukrainian drone production facility and met with officials about the battlefield and Ukraine’s rapidly evolving defense innovations.

Krishnamoorthi, Khanna, Quigley, Crockett, Johnson Demand Answers From White House Over Denial Of CNN, MS NOW Access During Xi State Dinner
Position: Members of Congress are demanding explanations from the White House Communications Director over reports that CNN and MS NOW journalists were denied access to cover a state dinner, arguing this conflicts with press freedom and a federal court's temporary restraining order.
WASHINGTON — Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-IL), alongside Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA), Ranking Member of the House Select Committee on the Strategic Competition Between the United States and the Chinese Communist Party, Rep. Mike Quigley (D-IL), Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX), and Rep. Henry Johnson (D-GA), demanded answers from White House Communications Director Steven Cheung regarding reports that journalists from CNN and MS NOW were denied access to the White House to cover President Donald Trump’s state dinner with General Secretary Xi Jinping in Washington last week.
The lawmakers sent a letter Thursday, just days after a federal judge preliminarily ordered the Trump Administration to immediately restore White House press credentials for CNN, MS NOW, and Politico after the outlets challenged the Administration’s decision to revoke their White House passes. Federal Judge Timothy Kelly issued a temporary restraining order requiring the Administration to reinstate the outlets’ hard-pass credentials.
According to media reports, CNN and MS NOW journalists encountered restrictions while attempting to cover Xi’s arrival and state dinner. CNN reported that a reporter and producer were initially blocked from accessing the White House, while MS NOW reported that White House correspondent Laura Barrón-López was denied entry.
“These reports are deeply troubling not only given the context of the court’s temporary restraining order and First Amendment press freedom but also as a sign of the President’s use of anti-democratic tactics perfected by the very guest hosted at the White House,” the Members wrote.
The lawmakers expressed particular concern about the reported restrictions given that the state dinner was held for Xi, whose government has engineered one of the world’s most restrictive media environments. The PRC ranks third lowest globally for press freedom, and the CCP has instituted crippling censorship of independent journalism.
The Members also highlighted the contrast between the reported treatment of American news organizations and the access provided to PRC state-run media, including Xinhua, during Xi’s visit.
“In no way should a U.S. president or any other official attempt to squash the freedoms of American media outlets at a time when we should be condemning the limitations on the freedom of the press that the CCP supports at home and around the world,” the lawmakers continued.
The letter further notes that freedom of the press is a fundamental constitutional principle in the United States and distinguishes the American system of government from the authoritarian model employed by the CCP. As Judge Kelly wrote in his recent ruling, the free press “stands as one of the great interpreters between the government and the people.”
The Members are requesting answers from the White House on the following:
On what grounds did the President, you, or the White House Office of the Press Secretary deny access to CNN and MS NOW reporters or producers at last week’s state dinner?
What background checks and procedures were implemented to screen PRC state-run media outlets’ access to last week’s bilateral meetings between yourself and Xi Jinping?
What is the Trump Administration’s strategy to hold the PRC and Xi Jinping accountable for their violations of basic human rights, including freedoms of speech, opinion, and expression?

Krishnamoorthi, Gillibrand, Meng, and Velázquez Reintroduce Bicameral Hate Crimes Commission Act
Position: The release advocates for establishing a bipartisan federal commission to investigate hate crimes, improve reporting systems, and identify prevention strategies in response to rising hate-motivated violence.
WASHINGTON — Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-IL) today reintroduced the Hate Crimes Commission Act alongside U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) and House co-leads Congresswoman Grace Meng (D-NY) and Congresswoman Nydia Velázquez (D-NY), bicameral legislation to strengthen the nation’s response to hate crimes, improve hate crime reporting, and identify strategies to prevent bias-motivated violence. The legislation would establish a bipartisan United States Commission on Hate Crimes to examine the factors driving hate crimes, barriers to accurate reporting, and evidence-based approaches to prevention, while directing the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to audit federal hate crime data collection systems.
“No one should have to live in fear because of who they are, how they worship, whom they love, or where they come from,” said Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi. “As hate-fueled violence and intimidation continue to threaten communities across our country, we need stronger tools to understand what is driving these attacks, improve reporting, and identify strategies that can help prevent future violence. The Hate Crimes Commission Act will help strengthen our response to hate crimes and better protect communities from acts of hate.”
“Our country was founded on the core principles of liberty, justice, and equality. Every American has the right to live freely and safely, regardless of their race, gender, sexuality, ethnicity, or religion,” said Senator Gillibrand. “The alarming rise in hate crimes over the last few years demands a comprehensive federal response — and that starts with the establishment of a commission to investigate hate crimes. This legislation would help protect communities and gather the data we need to prevent future violence, and I am determined to get it passed.”
According to the FBI, more than 11,000 single-bias hate crime incidents involving nearly 14,000 victims were reported in 2024, targeting Americans on the basis of race, religion, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, and other protected characteristics. Hate crimes inflict lasting harm not only on individual victims, but on entire communities, undermining public safety and eroding confidence that people can live free from fear and intimidation.
The Hate Crimes Commission Act would establish a bipartisan commission composed of members appointed by congressional leadership and the Attorney General to investigate factors contributing to hate crimes — including the role of social media and technology — assess barriers to complete reporting by local law enforcement agencies, and identify successful prevention and response strategies through partnerships with nonprofits, educators, and government entities. The commission would submit recommendations to Congress and the President to strengthen hate crime prevention efforts and improve participation in the FBI’s National Incident-Based Reporting System. The legislation would also require a GAO audit of federal hate crime data collection practices to improve the accuracy, completeness, and reliability of national hate crime reporting.
