Hello,
On Tuesday, President Donald Trump delivered the annual State of the Union address to Congress,
which I attended. In addition to the State of the Union, I had a busy week in Washington working for
my constituents in California’s 46 Congressional District.
Here are some highlights:
HONORING IMMIGRANTS AT THE STATE OF THE U NION
I w as honored to invite Professor Oliver Lopez as my guest to the State of the Union on February
24th, 2026. After coming to this country undocumented at five years old, Oliver’s strong work
ethic led him to earn a PhD in biostatistics and become a mathematics professor at Chapman
University. He was a DACA recipient, who became a U.S. Citizen in 2021. Oliver has consistently
given back to his communit y by coaching soccer, tutoring kids, and volunteering at his son’s
school. He embodies the American Dream and is a shining example of w hy immigrants make
America stronger.
Dr. Lopez was interview ed by several news outlets, including KTLA, National Telemundo, National
Univision, and Spectrum News, about his immigrant experience and speaking up for hard working
undocumented immigrants who bring tremendous value to their communit ies.

DEMANDING JUSTICE FOR EPSTEIN SU RVIVORS
Before the President’s State of the Union address, I spoke with Lisa Phillips, one of the brave
Epstein survivors fearlessly pushing for justice. I stand with the victims and my other
Congressional colleagues who are putting pressure on the Department of Justice to release all of
the files and follow Europe’s lead in holding Epstein’s associates account able.

LULAC PU BLIC SERVICE AWARD
The League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) held their annual National L egislative
Conference and Unity Awards Gala on Tuesday, where they presented me with a National Public
Service Award. I am moved by the support, especially from an organization that strongly
advocates for immigrants and civil rights.
Today, LULAC is lead plaintiff on a number of lawsuits challenging the Trump Administration’s
illegal policies.

RECOGNIZING EXCELLENCE AT SANTA ANA HIGH SCHOOL
On Wednesday morning, I spoke on the House Floor to honor and recognize the Santa Ana High
School girls wrestling team. These young ladies have a lot to be proud of. They have been Southern
CIF, Empire League, Eastern Division, and Division One Duel Champions, and five w restlers making
it to the State CIF Finals. The team accomplished all this w hile also earning an average GPA of
3.48. I also want to thank their coaches for instilling leadership, hard work, and dedication into
these talented athletes.
Go Saints!

WORKING TO SECU RE FEDERAL FU NDING FOR WORL D CUP SECURITY
I have called on the Department of Homeland Security to release the $625M that Congress
approved in World Cup security funding. Even with this funding, host cities w ill likely cover up to
$200M in additional costs, and the LA area is set to host 8 matches. With the games starting in
less than 4 months, cities need Sec. Kristi Noem to release the money. Nexst ar reporter Gabrielle
Caracciolo interviewed me for KTLA on the topic.
