119th Congress

Washington, DC – “Today my office was informed that ICE (Immigrations and Customs Enforcement) will be restoring approximately 1500 student visas. This decision comes following both a multitude of legal challenges and a direct letter that I sent to Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem, and Acting Director of U.S.

Baton Rouge, LA – Congressman Cleo Fields (LA-06) has issued a formal request to Secretary of State, Marco Rubio; Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem; and Acting Director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Todd Lyons, for an immediate review and explanation regarding the recent revocation of visas for eight international students enrolled at Southern University in Baton Rouge, LA.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Troy A. Carter, Sr. (D-LA), Congressman Cleo Fields (D-LA), Congresswoman Julia Letlow (R-LA), and Congressman Mike Ezell (R-MS) have introduced the bipartisan National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) Authorization Extension Act which will extend the federal authorization for the NFIP. The bill would extend the program through December 31, 2026, significantly longer than the typical short-term extensions passed by Congress.

Washington, DC – The recent decision by President Trump to pause the majority of his planned tariffs for 90 days, is proof that the voice of the people matters.

Washington, DC – “President Trump’s tariffs are causing unnecessary pain and financial hardship for every American. Individual retirement funds and 401(k)s are being decimated as markets around the world respond to these excessive tariffs. The harm being done to America’s reputation both at home and abroad is immeasurable. I am urging President Trump to correct his course before it’s too late.”
