Rep. Adam Smith Statement on Trump Administration Employing Military Force Against Iran
Position: Rep. Smith opposes the Trump Administration's preemptive military strikes against Iran, arguing they lack congressional authorization, risk escalation, and represent a war of choice. He advocates for diplomatic engagement, coalition-building, and targeted economic sanctions as more appropriate pressure mechanisms.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Representative Adam Smith (D-Wash.), Ranking Member of the House Armed Services Committee, released the following statement in response to the Trump Administration employing U.S. military force against Iran.
“Overnight, the President ordered preemptive military strikes against Iran. Let me be clear that I oppose these preemptive strikes and am concerned the situation is prone to rapid escalation that puts Americans at risk and threatens to drag us into a war of choice with no strategic endgame.
“This offensive use of military force against Iran, absent congressional authorization, is contrary to domestic and international law. Our system of checks and balances is crucial to ensuring that we adhere to the law and, hopefully, learn from the mistakes of our past.
“There is no question that the Iranian regime is guilty of horrific crimes against its own people and conducts destabilization activities in the region. That is why the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) was so important for limiting Iran’s nuclear ambitions and allowed access into the country to monitor their nuclear activities. The Trump Administration’s abandonment of that agreement, which was overwhelmingly beneficial to U.S. and regional interests, has left us without a key point of leverage at a critical time.
“We absolutely should exert pressure on Iran in order to ensure that they don’t build a nuclear weapon. However, the far more appropriate options for exerting that pressure are continued diplomatic engagement, coalition building with partners and allies in the region, and enforcement of targeted economic sanctions. These options are also far more likely to succeed without risking war with a country with advanced weapons systems and a demonstrated willingness to use those systems against thousands of American service members in the region and beyond.
“Make no mistake, the president's actions have dragged the United States into a war of his choosing. Regardless of my opposition to the course of action the president has unilaterally taken, my thoughts are with the brave men and women in uniform, and their families.”

Position: Congressman Smith supports the ROTOR Act, which would strengthen collision-avoidance standards and improve coordination between civilian and military aircraft operations in shared airspace following a fatal mid-air collision.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Adam Smith (D-Wash.), Ranking Member of the House Armed Services Committee, released the following statement about the failed vote for the ROTOR Act on the floor of the House of Representatives.
“Last year’s tragic mid-air collision between an American Airlines regional jet and a U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopter took 67 lives and devastated families and communities across our country. It was the deadliest U.S. aviation disaster in decades. The subsequent investigation by the National Transportation Safety Board identified systemic failures in how civilian and military aircraft operate in shared airspace.
“More recently, serious coordination failures in El Paso between the Department of Defense (DoD), the Department of Homeland Security, and civilian authorities led to the temporary closure of airspace affecting an international commercial airport and its surrounding community. That incident underscores that these challenges are not isolated — they are systemic and ongoing. These failures demand legislative action.
“Today, the House of Representatives considered the ROTOR Act as an initial response to this tragic disaster. The bill would have made changes to strengthen collision-avoidance standards and improve aviation safety, which is why I voted in favor of its passage.
“I’m disappointed that the ROTOR Act failed to pass the House of Representatives. This legislation began the important process of addressing aviation safety and improved communication between civilian and military aircrafts.
“The tragedy that occurred over Washington, D.C. last year made clear that fragmented oversight and poor coordination cannot continue. I urge Speaker Johnson to work with the relevant committees, departments and agencies, families, and stakeholders to consider aviation safety legislation so that Congress can quickly enact the full scope of reforms necessary to protect the flying public and prevent another catastrophic loss of life."

Statement from Congressman Adam on Supreme Court Tariff Ruling
Position: Congressman Smith welcomes the Supreme Court's ruling striking down President Trump's reciprocal tariffs as an unconstitutional expansion of executive power, arguing the decision upholds the separation of powers and will help lower costs for consumers.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Adam Smith (D-Wash.) released the following statement:
“Today, the Supreme Court ruled in a 6-3 decision that President Trump’s tariffs represent an unconstitutional expansion of executive power and that his reciprocal tariffs on nearly every country are illegal. After months of uncertainty caused by his shifting tariff policies, this decision marks an important step toward lowering costs for those in our state and across the country.
“Today's ruling is a powerful reminder of the weight of the rule of law. Upholding the coequal branches of government keeps our democracy stable. As Trump tries to consolidate powers reserved to Congress under Article I of the Constitution, this decision demonstrates that his authoritarian overreach will not be tolerated in the United States of America. There are constraints to Trump’s power, and we will not stand idly by and allow him to jeopardize our nation’s stability.”

Statement from Congressman Adam Smith on Today’s Vote Against Federal Funding
Position: Congressman Smith voted against a federal funding package because it does not include sufficient guardrails on Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations, which he characterizes as unlawful and abusive. He calls for immediate restrictions on ICE authority and will not support funding that enables what he views as governmental overreach.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Adam Smith (D-Wash.) released the following statement after voting against the Senate-passed funding package that includes two-weeks of funding for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
“Today, I voted against the Senate Amendments to H.R. 7148. Congress has a constitutional responsibility to fund the government that is both effective and accountable. I recognize that this legislation contains important investments and reflects bipartisan work to keep the government operating. I understand why some of my colleagues chose to support it and I share their goal of ensuring continuity of essential federal services. However, as this funding bill is written, it asks Congress to overlook serious concerns in how certain authorities are exercised, especially within the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
“I am gravely concerned by the DHS and ICE provisions included in this funding package. The two-week buffer to renegotiate DHS funding is insufficient and too long of a delay. We need immediate guardrails and stopgap measures to curtail ICE. The behavior from ICE in Minnesota, Los Angeles, Chicago and across the country does not represent responsible governance. It is lawless behavior that puts communities at risk and undermines trust in government itself.
“I am ready to support funding that upholds the rule of law, respects constitutional limits, treats individuals with dignity, and serves the public interest. Until this administration changes course and demonstrates a commitment to lawful, accountable governance, I will not support funding that enables continued abuse and overreach.”

CONGRESSMAN SMITH SUPPORTS IMPEACHMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY SECRETARY KRISTI NOEM
Position: Congressman Smith supports impeachment of DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, citing concerns about ICE enforcement operations that he characterizes as lawless, violent, and lacking accountability. He argues the Secretary must be held responsible for enforcement tactics that harm communities and violate due process standards.
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Congressman Adam Smith (D-Wash.) released the following statement after signing onto an effort to impeach Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.
“Today, I joined my colleagues in supporting H.Res. 996, a resolution to impeach Secretary Kristi Noem for high crimes and misdemeanors. I do not take the decision to pursue impeachment lightly. It is one of the most solemn responsibilities of the House of Representatives.
“Congress must ensure accountability at the highest levels of our government. When a cabinet official willfully disregards statutes passed by Congress and obstructs lawful oversight, it diminishes trust in our institutions and threatens the constitutional framework that protects American rights and liberties. I believe these matters warrant careful consideration by the House Judiciary Committee and ultimately by the full House.
“My support for this resolution is rooted in a broader concern about the Department of Homeland Security and the direction of federal immigration enforcement under this administration. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations are, right now, sowing fear and chaos in American communities.
“Last week, I voted against funding for DHS and ICE, and now as ICE continues to escalate its lawless operations, I am taking the extraordinary step of supporting impeachment of the Secretary Noem. As the head of this Department, Secretary Noem must be the held responsible for the lawlessness, terror, and havoc that ICE has caused across this country, and especially in places like Minneapolis.
“We have seen ICE embrace enforcement tactics that are violent, that tear families apart, and that are untethered from basic standards of accountability, due process, and public safety. The killings of Renée Good and Alex Pretti in Minneapolis this month have deepened concerns about federal tactics and the impact on local public safety and community trust.
“Accountability and reform must come now. Secretary Noem must be held accountable for the lawless behavior that ICE has committed under her stewardship. I join my colleagues in demanding that Secretary Noem must be impeached and her oversight of ICE must be investigated thoroughly before Congress.”

Statement by Congressman Adam Smith on the Protests in Iran
Position: The congressman condemns the Iranian regime's violent crackdown on protesters and expresses solidarity with Iranians demanding democratic freedoms and accountability.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Representative Adam Smith released the following statement regarding the protests in Iran:
“The Iranian regime is violently cracking down on its own people. Security forces are killing protesters, carrying out mass arrests, and attempting to silence dissent through fear and brutality and a state-imposed communications blackout. This is not public order. It is repression.
“For decades, the Iranian regime has failed its people, denying them basic freedoms, economic opportunity, and a voice in their own future. Iranians have made clear that they want dignity, accountability, and the ability to live without fear. The regime’s response has been violence and bloodshed.
“The courage of those risking their safety to demand a better future deserves global attention. I stand with the Iranian people and condemn the regime’s response to protestors in the strongest terms. The Iranian peoples’ voices must not be silenced.”
