Hello, Thousands of hard-working Orange County taxpayers rely on Medicaid and SNAP to receive the health care and food assistance they need and deserve. That’s why I joined 5 ot her leading House Democrats to introduce the Hands Off Medicaid and SNAP Act, which would block extreme and unprecedented cuts to Medicaid and food assistance programs. I’m proud to be leading this effort so that Orange County’s kids, seniors, veterans, and working families can keep food on the table and their families healthy. As I continue to bring your voice to our nation’s capital, I’d like to take a moment to show you what I’ve been working on. CREAT ING A SAFE, SECURE , AND HUMANE BOR DE R Last weekend, I led a visit to our southern border to assess the impact of our current border security policies and to ensure that we’re addressing the challenges our communities are facing. As the top Democrat on the Border Security and Enforcement Subcommittee, it was important for me to tour key facilities near San Diego and speak with our Customs and Border Protect ion and Border Patrol officers. The visit provided an important opportunity to discuss how we can improve our border security systems while making sure that our border is safe, secure, and humane. From combating fentanyl smuggling to making sure legitimate trade and commerce can flow, I’m focused on w orking across the aisle to find solutions that help our communities prosper. Rep. Correa visits the southern border CREAT ING COALITIO NS ACROSS T HE AISLE I joined my colleagues on the Homeland Security Committee on Wednesday t o debate important legislation that will make its way to the House floor. The majority of these bills are a bipartisan effort to enhance our national security and equip our public safety officers with the t ools they need to keep our communities safe. For example, I’m proud that the Committee favorably reported a bill to improve training for our border security officers: the DHS Basic Training Accreditation Improvement Act. While my colleagues across the aisle might disagree with me on several issues, I know we all meet eye-to-eye when it comes to protecting our nation. CO NNE CT ING WIT H TU CAUCUS It was great to join two of my colleagues and friends, Rep. Adriano Espaillat (D-NY) and Rep. Jesus “Chuy” Garcia (D-IL), as a guest on the first episode of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus’ new podcast: Tu Caucus. The episode brought together the Three Amigos—a reference to our partnership and advocacy of immigration reform legislation—as we looked back at how t hree L atino kids from immigrant communities rose to Congress. We also talked about the American dream, the issues that matter the most to us, our favorite foods, and so much more. We ended by vow ing to keep fighting for immigrant communities and to protect Medicaid/Medicare hasta que gan emos. You can watch the whole episode HERE. Rep. Correa is a guest on Tu Caucus FIGHT ING T O PRO TECT BIRTHRIGHT CIT IZE NSHIP This month, I signed onto an amicus curiae brief to urge the Ninth Court of Appeals to uphold the current interpretation of the United States Constitution and protect birthright citizenship for all Americans. The Fourteenth Amendment has been consistently interpret ed to guarantee citizenship to all people born in the United States, regardless of their parents’ legal status. Congress has also been clear in supporting birthright citizenship through the Civil Rights Act of 1886 and the Immigration an d Nationality Act of 1952. President Trump’s Executive Order 14160 to limit birthright citizenship based on parental legal status is unconscionable and unconstitutional—and I w ill cont inue bringing our community’s voice to Washington to protect our Constitution and fight against attempts to limit birthright citizenship. As always, I am committed to serving you, advocating for issues that mat ter to our community, and connecting you to important resources.

Hello, I’m incredibly proud of the young students that are learning and leading all around Orange County. It was great to meet some of these future leaders while they visited Washington, DC, over the past few weeks. Back home, the bright students in my Young Congressional Leaders program joined me in a visit to the Northgate Market Headquarters to learn from some of our local ent repreneurs. Our panelists shared lessons about assessing risk, encouraging innovation, w orking hard, and dreaming big. Our students are bright, dedicated, and passionate—the future of Orange County is in good hands. As I continue to bring your voice to our nation’s capital, I’d like to take a moment to show you what I’ve been working on. CE LEBRATING APP CHALLENGE WINNE RS I welcomed our 2024 Congressional App Challenge winners to the U.S. Capit ol last week, where they showcased their original app, Aries—which uses AI tools to help make technology more accessible. Aries helps people navigate technology through voice commands, helping t hose w ho may not be tech- savvy or are facing language barriers. It’s a perfect example of how technology can be used to improve the lives of those in our community, and these students reflect the immense talent and potential right here in Orange County. Rep. Correa greets our district’s Congressional App Challenge winners INSPIRING ORANGE CO UNT Y’S NEXT GENE RAT IO N This week, I had the honor of meeting with some our community’s junior high school students in Washington, D.C. This conversation provided an important opportunity to answ er their insightful questions about issues that matter the most to young students in our community—including the dismantling of the Department of Education. They were also interested in learning how the work accomplished in Congress affects our families, neighbors, and local communit ies. From listening to their concerns, interests, and career goals, it is clear that these bright, passionate students w ill be strong leaders in our community. Like many of us, I am a proud product of our California school systems—and now more than ever, we must support our students’ education. Rep. Correa speaks with Orange County students outside the U.S. Capitol T EARING DOWN THE RE D T APE I’m proud to share that my office recently hosted my first Citizenship Clinic of the year! I partnered with the Public Law Center to help dozens of our community members access free, hands-on help with filling out their N-400 naturalization applications and learning more about the path to citizenship. If you’ve been a permanent resident for at least five years—or t hree years if you’re married to a U.S. citizen—you may qualify to apply for citizenship. Our community is full of hard workers that follow the law, contribute to our economy, and deserve a fair shot at the American Dream. I’ll keep working to connect our neighbors with the resources they need to join our American family—so stay tuned for our next clinic! Constituents take advantage of Rep. Correa’s Citizenship Clinic JOIN ME AT T HE J O B FAIR Are you looking for your next professional opportunity?
