U.S. Senator Gary Peters

When officers don't identify themselves during immigration enforcement operations, it risks escalation and puts both them and members of the public at risk.   That's why I cosponsored legislation requiring those officers to have clearly displayed identification.

The way Senator Padilla was treated today is outrageous and inexcusable. He was doing his job and trying to get information for his constituents. We need accountability for the personnel who forced him to the ground and handcuffed him and immediate answers from the Admin.

Violence targeting law enforcement is never acceptable. I condemn the recent attacks on officers in the line of duty.

Americans don’t want to send their sons and daughters into harm’s way when there is no imminent threat to the United States. They want us focused on lowering costs here at home. Not more wars.

Great talking with you, Symone D. Sanders Townsend and Michael Steele on Iran, DHS funding, and more!

Congress decides whether we go to war, not the president. Trump needs to justify these military operations to the American people, especially now that six American soldiers lost their lives. That’s why I’m voting YES on @kaine.senate.gov’s War Power Resolution.

Mourning the loss of the three American servicemembers who were killed in action during military operations against Iran. My heart goes out to their families and loved ones. I am forever grateful for their service and sacrifice.

This is me soon after I joined the Scouts. I went on to become an Eagle Scout, where I learned how to work with kids from different backgrounds to reach a common goal, like staying dry on rainy nights with nothing but a tarp. Every kid should have access to these kinds of lessons.

Instead of calling for unity to make progress on the issues we all face as Americans, President Trump used his address to the nation to air out his personal grievances and attack those who are working to hold him accountable.

Despite his claims tonight, President Trump’s chaotic tariff strategy has been an economic disaster for families and businesses across the country.

Trump’s tariffs aren’t working for Michigan. They have brought higher prices for consumers, and more chaos and confusion for Michigan workers and businesses. www.wilx.com/2026/02/20/t...
