WASHINGTON – U.S. Senate Democratic Whip Dick Durbin (D-IL), Ranking Member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, joined U.S. Senator Jacky Rosen (D-NV) to introduce the Born in the USA Act to effectively block the implementation of President Trump’s unconstitutional Executive Order attempting to end automatic citizenship for children born in the United States. This bill would prevent any government funds from being used to carry out or enforce this directive, which violates the U.S. Constitution. Federal courts have temporarily blocked the order’s implementation, but the Trump Administration is expected to appeal. “The Constitution is clear: if you are born in the United States, you are a citizen.

SPRINGFIELD – Today, Congresswoman Nikki Budzinski (IL-13) and Congressman Pete Stauber (MN-08) re-introduced the bipartisan Public Safety Employer-Employee Cooperation Act to ensure labor rights to all public safety officers. Specifically, this legislation will allow public safety officers to form a labor union, collectively bargain for hours and wages, and provide resolution mechanisms for impasses during negotiations. “I'm proud to be leading this bill with Congressman Stauber to ensure our first responders receive the protections they need to do their jobs effectively,” said Congresswoman Budzinski. “As a union member, I understand how crucial it is for workers to have a voice in their pay and working conditions.

SPRINGFIELD - On Friday, Feb. 21, 2025 , Congresswoman Nikki Budzinski (IL-13) released the below statement following reports of President Trump’s plans to disband the United States Postal Service (USPS) Board of Governors and place the agency under direct control of the Commerce Department and Secretary Howard Lutnick. “For decades, the United States Postal Service has stood as a trusted, non-partisan public good, offering affordable rates so that Americans across the country—particularly in rural areas—can receive everything from paychecks and medicine to cards from loved ones. Now, President Trump is indicating plans to dismantle this vital institution in pursuit of profit. Any effort to diminish service or undermine our dedicated postal workers is unacceptable. I will work with my colleagues to safeguard the integrity of the USPS while exploring solutions to enhance its service, rather than destroy it.” Improving mail delivery for Illinois’
