Senator Mark Kelly: There needs to be a transparent investigation into the shooting that killed Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. I can’t imagine the pain his family is feeling right now. Too many people have died at the hands of ICE and this Administration has shown little interest in holding anyone accountable. That needs to change.

Senator Ruben Gallego: Lorenzo Salgado Araujo did everything right. He was well on his way to obtaining legal status and was hard working member of his community, creating jobs for dozens of men with the same dream he had. The American dream. He was driving a crew to a homebuilding site when ICE stopped him in unmarked vehicles, then shot and killed him. There must be a full investigation. ICE’s track record shows their claims can’t be trusted.

Representative Andy Biggs: Since the start of 2026, my office has recovered over $2,100,000 through 508 cases for the people of Arizona’s Fifth Congressional District. It is my honor to assist the hardworking men and women of the East Valley with their issues with federal agencies.

Representative Eli Crane: As part of the Working Families Tax Cuts signed into law last year, Republicans established Trump Accounts to help set the next generation up for financial success. This new savings program gives eligible children a head start with a one-time $1,000 federal contribution:

Representative Juan Ciscomani: ICYMI: My office just reached a major milestone by returning more than $20 MILLION to members of our #AZ06 community. If you’re having trouble with the VA, the IRS, or another federal agency, my casework team is here to help you navigate the process to access the benefits and services you deserve. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to my team in Tucson!

Representative Abe Hamadeh: We’re grateful to be serving the people of Congressional District Eight. The results we’ve delivered reflect the hard work of Congressman Hamadeh, our entire team, and the strong support of our community.

Representative Greg Stanton: Proud to join @UniteHere11 workers on the picket line at Sky Harbor today. These cooks, servers, bartenders, and dishwashers are fighting for a fair contract, and Arizona workers deserve nothing less.

Representative Yassamin Ansari: Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya has been detained by the Israeli government for more than 18 months without charge or trial. He ran one of the few remaining hospitals in Gaza. According to his attorney and human rights organizations, he has been subjected to torture and severe medical neglect while in detention. This is unconscionable and a violation of international law. Healthcare workers should never be targeted or arbitrarily detained. The Trump Administration must use every diplomatic tool available to secure Dr. Abu Safiya's release and ensure that Israel upholds its obligations under international humanitarian law.
