Ed has fought unrelentingly against the Trump administration’s travel ban, calling it “un-American and in direct opposition to everything for which our Founding Fathers fought.”

Ed has also questioned the administration’s enforcement activities and practices. He is the author of the recent report, “Under the Radar: The Trump Administration’s Stealth Attack on the U.S. Immigration System”, which outlines the multiple executive orders, memoranda, guidance, rule-making, and informal directives during the first two years of his administration that President Donald Trump has used to surreptitiously remake our immigration system.

Among other policies, Ed has challenged the separation of families at the border, the detention of pregnant women, and the proposed elimination of the Legal Orientation Program. Throughout his legislative career, Ed has been committed to ensuring that the immigrant and refugee populations in this country have access to security, care, and opportunity.
