The official Bluesky account for Congressman André Carson of Indiana's 7th District. Fighting for you.

I would not be where I am today without Head Start. I know firsthand what this program means for children and families. But President Trump wants to strip away the standards that ensure quality education and family support, threatening a program that has helped generations of children succeed.

After my oversight inquiry into Miami Correctional Facility, ICE acknowledged that detainees missed nearly 800 prescribed medication doses. These admissions raise serious concerns about the conditions inside the facility.

NEW: I just released ICE’s response to my inquiry on conditions at Indiana’s Miami Correctional Facility.   ICE acknowledges they failed to provide a staggering 799 doses of medication. ICE has a clear & duty to protect the health and safety of everyone in its custody – and they are failing.

As AI plays a growing role in our national defense, Americans deserve transparency and accountability. This past week, the House passed my amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act requiring public reports on how the military is using AI and what safeguards are in place.

Nolan Wells' family is experiencing every Black family's worst nightmare. Not only are they suffering the unimaginable grief of losing a child, they're not getting the truth, transparency, or accountability.

Our nation's intelligence services must always be ready for what's next and learn from our past mistakes. Today, I asked Gen. McMaster how we can best prepare for emerging threats through stronger intelligence sharing.

Marion County saw a 17.5% drop in families receiving SNAP benefits over the last year because of Trump's cuts. Grocery prices continue to rise because of Trump's tariffs and inflation.  This administration is taking away funding to help families afford food when food is more expensive than ever.

For too long, America has treated funding to Israel as automatic and unconditional. That needs to end.  No country should receive a blank check. Netanyahu's government continues to bomb Gaza, block aid, seize and destroy Palestinian homes, and promote settler violence.

In less than a week, ICE agents killed Joan Sebastian Guerrero and Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. Yet instead of demanding answers and accountability, MAGA Republicans continue handing ICE bigger checks with virtually no meaningful oversight.

Hoosier families should not have to pay more at the pump because of President Trump's unnecessary war. The American people deserve an explanation for this conflict and why he chose not to get support from Congress.

Families with Temporary Protected Status (TPS) from Syria, Somalia, South Sudan, Haiti, Yemen, and Ethiopia could lose their work permits as soon as July 10.    If you or someone you know is impacted, I have a list of local legal service providers and Know Your Rights resources on my website.

Indianapolis is home to some incredible young artists, and I am proud to recognize this year's Congressional Art Competition winner, Teagan H. Her artwork will now be displayed in the halls of Congress for visitors from across the country to see.

President Trump is holding critical legislation hostage in an effort to pass the SAVE Act that disenfranchises millions of eligible voters. We should be focused on lowering costs, expanding housing, and protecting the right for every eligible American to vote.

I'm supporting a nationwide pause on all new AI data centers until safeguards are put in place — protecting union jobs and your energy bill.  I also introduced my Data Center Transparency Act to make sure neighborhood feedback is central.

Trump's cuts to USAID have already caused hundreds of thousands of preventable deaths. That's why I offered 7 amendments to restore America's humanitarian leadership, strengthen our economy, and protect our national security. What happens around the world impacts us all.

Four years ago today, the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. Since then, Indiana has enacted one of the nation's strictest abortion bans, leaving too many Hoosiers without access to essential reproductive health care.

Juneteenth marks the end of slavery and the resistance that brought us to this moment. As we reflect on our shared progress and celebrate Black excellence today, we also recognize the significant work still ahead. We must continue to strive for true equality and justice for every American.

I am calling on DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin to close the Dilley Immigration Processing Center. Families have reported inhumane treatment and unsafe conditions for children. No child belongs in detention. DHS must close this facility and end family detention.
