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.

Barney Frank was one of the sharpest, most dedicated lawmakers I’ve ever worked with. Under his leadership, we passed the historic Dodd-Frank bill, which made comprehensive reforms to Wall Street after the 2008 financial crisis.

As the son of a WWII veteran and a former Lieutenant Commander in the U.S. Navy Reserve, I have a deep admiration and appreciation for the men and woman serving in uniform. This Armed Forces Day, and every day, my thoughts are with them as they sacrifice so much to keep us safe and secure.

From fuel to fertilizer, nearly everything is more expensive for Michigan farmers this planting season. The American people don't want to pay more for a war that we still don’t fully know why we are in. wwmt.com/news/local/w...

I was proud to help secure $15 million in funding for the Port of Monroe. This investment will help the Port make necessary dock upgrades to improve operations and support key Michigan supply chains. www.peters.senate.gov/newsroom/pre...
