RECAP: REP. HALEY STEVENS TAKES ON TRUMP ADMINISTRATION, FIGHTS FOR MICHIGAN FAMILIES
Washington, D.C. – This week, Michigan Congresswoman Haley Stevens continued her fight against the Trump administration’s chaos agenda, standing up for Michigan families on public health, education, rising costs, and ICE accountability.
ON MONDAY:
Rep. Stevens slammed Trump’s ICE following two fatal shootings of civilians in Texas and Maine and re-upped the call for her Hold ICE Accountable Act.
“The blatant disregard for human life from Donald Trump's ICE is horrifying and outrageous,” said Stevens. “The families deserve justice.”
ON TUESDAY:
Rep. Haley Stevens sounded the alarm over Michigan’s growing cyclosporiasis outbreak, slamming RFK Jr. for dismantling public health safeguards and calling for his impeachment.
“Michigan families deserve leaders who trust science, strengthen public health, and act with urgency—not politicians who dismantle the very systems that keep us safe,” said Stevens.
ON WEDNESDAY
At a House hearing, Stevens blasted Trump and Republican efforts to shut down the Department of Education and cut critical support for students, teachers, and families.
“I have spent countless hours with the educators, administrators, and families in Michigan. And over the last year and a half, we have discussed the challenges facing the teacher workforce pipeline, our inability to fully fund Individuals with Disabilities Education Act,” said Rep. Stevens.
“We need to get back to the basics. Before we bely the American people and their tax dollars that this is some effort to serve you better and to streamline. Because it’s not. It’s more failed policy at our expense.”
“It’s more failed policy at our expense,” said Stevens, while calling for investments to address teacher shortages, support students with disabilities, and protect career and technical education.
ON THURSDAY
Rep. Stevens introduced the Tariff Refund Act, which would provide up to $1,700 to qualifying households to offset costs from Trump’s tariffs.
“Donald Trump’s tariffs have cost Michiganders in every aspect of their lives, from groceries to school supplies to home appliances,” said Rep. Stevens. “We must lower costs for hardworking families and give them relief from Trump’s out-of-control economy.”
Congresswoman Stevens also joined more than 200 House Democrats in demanding independent investigations into the deaths of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo and Johan Sebastian Guerrero and demanding accountability over the horrific actions of ICE and DHS agents.
