General (03) Susana Barrios From:Rep. Lou Correa <repcorrea@mail8.housecommunications.gov> Sent:Friday, June 12, 2026 1:35 PM To:Public Comment Subject:\[EXTERNAL\] Working for You in Washington Warning: This email originated from outside the City of Anaheim. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and are expecting the message. Dear Neighbor, This week in Washington I fought to represent all who call Orange County home. I voted against an unacceptable Republican spending bill that provides another $70 billion to the Department of Homeland Security, discussed what Congress can do to prevent sports fans from being overcharged for watching their favorite teams, and worked across the aisle on bipartisan bills to deliver for Orange County. OPPOSING ANOTHER BLANK CHECK FOR ICE This week, I voted against the Republican reconciliation bill, which provides another $70 billion for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS)—including $38.5 billion for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and $26 billion for Customs and Border Protection. Before casting my vote, I submitted three common-sense amendments to prevent DHS and ICE from harming our public safety and targeting contributing members of our community. However, Republicans struck down all three of these amendments. These amendments would have protected contributing members of our community from immigration enforcement, including veterans, people who witness or report a crime, and Vietnamese refugees 1 who came to the U.S. before 1995 and have earned the right to call America home. People who strengthen our community and make it better should not have to fear deportation. Click HERE to view my testimony in front of the House Rules Committee. Congressman Correa testifies before the House Rules Committee PROTECTING OUR CIVIL LIBERTIES This week, I joined my Democratic colleagues on the Homeland Security Committee at a forum examining how this administration has expanded government surveillance of U.S. citizens. We in this country have long valued our freedom and privacy, unlike any other country in the world, but we no longer have that. I will continue to fight for safeguards to protect our civil liberties. The forum can be viewed HERE. 2 Congressman Correa speaks at forum on surveillance and privacy rights WORKING ACROSS THE AISLE This week, I worked with my colleagues across the political spectrum to deliver real solutions for everyday Americans. I introduced the Build American Efficiency Act, which will help speed up the building of new homes by cutting red tape and making it easier for builders to comply with federal requirements. I also joined my colleagues in introducing the Great American Outdoors Act 250, which will make improvements to our national parks and public lands so more people can benefit from the beautiful lands our nation has to offer. I remain committed to working with my colleagues across the aisle to deliver real results for Orange County and the rest of the country. HONORING OUR SERVICE MEMBERS As we celebrate America’s 250th Birthday, we honor the enduring sacrifices of our service members who made our freedom possible. Please share a photo and tribute of a loved one who has served our nation HERE. These special commemorations will be shared on my social media pages. The deadline to submit nominations is Friday, June 26, 2026. 3 IMPROVING SPORTS BROADCASTING This week, I spoke with witnesses at a hearing on the Sports Broadcasting Act of 1961 and its effects on the modern broadcast market for major sports leagues. I worked closely with the committee to guarantee that after today, we will be one step closer to making sure sports fans can watch their favorite teams at a reasonable price.

The people of Orange County are the reason I continue to push forward, and it’s your support and trust that drive everything I do. This week, I am proud to share moments that reflect the strength of our community – from uplifting the next generation who will shape our future, to honoring the residents whose lifelong contributions continue to inspire us. Together, these connections are what make our district so special! SENIOR APPRECIATION EVENT In honor of the older adults in the 46th Congressional District, I was proud to host a Senior Appreciation Event. We had a wonderful time celebrating our amazing community, connecting with residents, and listening to their concerns. I was joined by the Council on Aging Southern California, who shared helpful resources to keep our seniors informed and supported. We also enjoyed activities together in the Center Greens Butterfly Garden. 1 Congressman Correa celebrating the older residents of the 46th District at the Senior Appreciation Day Event BIG CHECK FOR A BIGGER FUTURE I was proud to secure $1,031,000 in federal funding for Santa Ana College’s Criminal Justice Academies. This funding will improve regional training programs and upgrade facilities, ensuring we are preparing for the next generation of correctional and peace officers in Orange County. My commitment to strong law enforcement training, public safety education, and student success will not stop here. By supporting our students today, we are helping build safer communities for tomorrow. 2 Congressman Correa presents a check for federal funding to Santa Ana College CHANGES TO CALFRESH If you receive CalFresh benefits, new changes caused by H.R. 1 could affect your eligibility.
