Rep. Haley Stevens continued her call for articles of impeachment against Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in a house committee meeting on Friday.
During a contentious set of questions, Stevens says that the secretary abused his office and gutted America’s health.
Michigan Democratic U.S. Rep. Haley Stevens attacked Robert Kennedy Jr., Secretary of Health and Human Services, during a committee hearing Friday and afterward told Deadline Detroit: “He has failed the American people.”
In an interview with Deadline Detroit after the hearing, Stevens said she has called for Kennedy to resign. If he doesn't, she said, she will continue to push for articles of impeachment to remove him.
“This is about accountability, for an agency that hasn't had any. Everywhere I go in Michigan people are asking about ICE overreach, ICE abuses of power, excessive force, racial profiling, there are deep concerns about what is going on in Romulus, and in South Field. I’m a member of Congress, and I’ve been stonewalled.”
Congresswoman Haley Stevens introduced legislation aimed at increasing oversight of federal immigration enforcement, calling for an independent prosecutor to investigate alleged misconduct by Department of Homeland Security personnel.
Stevens introduced the Hold ICE Accountable Act, which would create an independent special prosecutor to investigate alleged misconduct by the Department Of Homeland Security and ICE. Now the bill says the special prosecutor would need to be independent and have no ties to the current administration.
Washington, D.C. – In case you missed it, Congresswoman Haley Stevens joined Bloomberg Balance of Power to call out President Trump’s reckless war with Iran, the rising costs crushing Michigan families, and the urgent need to bring our manufacturing supply chains back home.
Michigan Congresswoman Haley Stevens and Representative Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania have introduced the Bipartisan Advanced Wastewater Treatment Assistance Act in Congress.
It helps communities upgrade wastewater systems to address PFAS and other contaminants. Stevens says clean water is essential for our health and for the future of the Great Lakes. An EPA study says as of 2022, Michigan needed an estimated $181 million for improvements.
U.S. Rep. Haley Stevens, D-Michigan, has introduced a new bill aimed at upgrading wastewater systems and addressing PFAS contamination.
The bill, known as the Advanced Wastewater Treatment Assistance Act, was introduced Monday with bipartisan support. U.S. Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick, R-Pennsylvania, was the other lead legislator.
Stevens called clean water “essential” for the health of all Americans and the American economy.
U.S. Reps. Haley Stevens and Brian Fitzpatrick have introduced the bipartisan Advanced Wastewater Treatment Assistance Act, aimed at helping utilities upgrade infrastructure, address emerging contaminants such as PFAS and maintain affordability for ratepayers.
“Clean water is essential for our health, our economy, and the future of the Great Lakes,”
The growing need to address PFAS contamination has placed a significant financial strain on utilities. Advanced treatment methods capable of removing these compounds, such as granular activated carbon and reverse osmosis, require substantial capital investment and operational costs. In states like Michigan, the financial burden is already evident. Federal estimates indicate that required wastewater infrastructure improvements reached approximately $181m in 2022, underscoring the scale of the challenge.
Stevens, a Michigan Democrat, rolled out the proposal last week with U.S. Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick, R-Pa. The Advanced Wastewater Treatment Assistance Act of 2026 would direct the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to create a grant program for states to support eligible wastewater treatment upgrades.
According to the bill, eligible projects would generally have to cover at least half of their costs with non-federal money. That requirement would not apply to projects serving disadvantaged communities.
