Hello, Throughout this past month, my staff and I have hosted several events to connect Orange County residents with federal resources, exciting careers, and educational opportunities. 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. COMING T O G E T HER FOR A CO MMUNITY CONVE R SAT ION This week, I led a community conversation to discuss what cuts to SNAP w ould mean for families across our district. Thousands of our hard-working Orange County taxpayers rely on SNAP to put food on the table and keep their families fed. I heard from community leaders directly on how these cuts would directly hurt our seniors and directly lead to them not having food on the table. That is unacceptable. I’m proud to be leading this effort, so that our constituent s can continue to receive the food assistance that they need and deserve. Rep. Correa Meets with Advocates and Impacted F amilies BRING ING OC TO DC Last week, I met with members of the Templo Calvario Congregation in Santa Ana to discuss how we can work together on consumer protection and fraud aimed at seniors. As t he G OP continues to make devastating cuts to healthcare and social services, and consumer costs rise, our most vulnerable citizens suffer. Orange County seniors are the heart of our community — In Congress, I’m committed to protecting them and giving them the transparency they deserve. Rep. Lou Correa with Templo Calvario Congregation MAKING CARE E R CO NNE CT IONS This week, I had the opportunity to join Santa Ana College for the Orange Count y Job Fair. Attendees had the opportunity to connect with local and regional employers across various industries.

Dear neighbor, Veterans who return home with invisible wounds deserve effective treatments and therapies.

FIGHT ING FO R OUR IMMIGRANT NE IGHBOR S This week, I joined my colleagues during a House Judiciary Committee markup on this Administration’s budget priorities, specifically on immigration I offered two amendm ents to protect our immigrant neighbors. The first amendment would stand by immigrant veterans who have served our nation and been honorably discharged, requesting that ICE consider their contributions to freedom before issuing deportation orders against them . The second would ensure that funding for ICE cannot be used to support raids in our public s c hools. Jus t last month, DHS agents showed up at a Los Angeles elementary school to c onduc t a “health c hec k” on some students—without parental authorization and without a warrant. Our children des erve to feel safe at school, not under surveillance. I’m disappointed that none of m y colleagues on the other side of the aisle voted in favor of my amendments. Our children and veterans des erve to feel safe—and I’ll continue fighting in Congress to protect them from indis c riminate and aggressive actions taken by this Administration. Rep. Correa proposes amendments at House Judiciary markup HONORING 50 Y E ARS SINCE BLACK APRIL I also took to the House Floor to recognize the 50th anniversary of Blac k April--a day to lament and reflect on the Fall of Saigon and the end of democracy in Vietnam. Families fled their homes in search of freedom—and many found it right here in Orange County. I grew up alongside Vietnamese Americans who arrived with nothing and built strong, vibrant lives . Today, our dis tric t is home to the largest Vietnamese community outside Vietnam, and they are a vital part of who we are. I’m proud to recognize the resiliency of the Vietnamese people and will never stop honoring the American-Vietnamese contribution to our country. You can watc h my remarks on the House floor HERE. Reps. Correa and Tran recognize Black April on the House steps CONGRE SSIONAL RE COGNITIO N CERTIFICAT E RE CIPIE NT S Do you know a special individual or community leader who deserves rec ognition for their work?
