Get StartedIn Congress, I will work to remove the qualified immunity enjoyed by ICE and other law enforcement agents, and to strengthen criminal and civil laws against harmful and corrupt actions by government officials. I will work to strengthen laws criminalizing the issuing of orders to commit war crimes or crimes against humanity and I will work to conduct congressional hearings on our military’s compliance with international humanitarian law and domestic laws. I will also introduce legislation mandating the extradition of anyone indicted by the International Criminal Court. Learn more
If elected, I will fight to strengthen the judiciary and hold federal officials and their subordinate accountable for any violation of domestic and international law. Learn more
As a human rights activist, I support America using its influence and, when strategically wise, economic pressure against oppressive regimes that commit human rights violations. But aggressive war is seldom, if ever, the answer. America should comply with its international obligations to prevent genocide. Learn more
America also has a terrible history of committing war crimes and crimes against humanity – which the bombing of the Iranian elementary school exemplifies. I am committed to not only voting against war, but holding the elected officials, generals and soldiers who participate in war crimes accountable, and collaborating with international and other courts in the prosecution of such crimes.

The United States should end all of its involvement in Venezuela, and allow the Venezuelan people to take control of their own country. We should reign in President Trump and his mad ambition to use the US military like a schoolyard bully. Learn more
As a Congressman, I will fight to not only abolish ICE but to pass laws that hold ICE agents and their superiors criminally and civilly liable for their human rights violations. Learn more
When elected, I will champion a national privacy rights bill that will put an end to the sale and sharing of your personal information without your permission. Although the government must get a warrant to obtain your current location from your cell phone provider, they are bypassing that requirement by purchasing this information from data brokers.

Billionaires have been getting richer from policies that essentially transfer wealth from the middle and lower classes. These policies increase poverty and squeeze the middle class. As ordinary Americans struggle to pay for healthcare, housing, education and food, billionaires use their wealth buy and influence government for their own benefit. I support changing our system of taxation so that the US becomes an economic powerhouse that benefits everyone and not just the billionaires. Learn more
