Friend,

The past two months have been turbulent to the say the least, from immigrant children being separated from their families at the border to what I believe are the administration’s continued policies that mislead the American people on a host of important issues. But as alarming as these developments are, please know that I’m doing everything in my power as your Member of Congress to address them on the federal level. I’ve made numerous visits to the U.S. – Mexico border to tour immigrant detention centers where children are being housed, held a community round table for my Korean American constituents to understand their concerns on the White House’s ever-changing stance on North Korea, stood in front of the U.S. Supreme Court to condemn the travel ban against our Muslim brothers and sisters, and spoke to young graduates across Los Angeles to help motivate them to rise above the limitations others have placed on them.

I’d like to thank you and all of my constituents for continuing to inspire me and reaching out to voice their thoughts. If you ever have questions about my positions or policies, need help with a federal agency, or assistance with immigration issues, please reach out to my office and we’ll be happy to assist you.

Sincerely,

Rep. Jimmy Gomez

Rep. Gomez Responds to North Korea Summit
 

                                               
Creating a greater openness with Pyongyang and working to dismantle their nuclear weapons program is clearly a step in the right direction, but such diplomatic efforts will be in vain if the United States fails to address North Korea’s appalling human rights record.
