“No one who has followed U.S. immigration law should lose their legal status or livelihood because the Trump Administration refuses to process their case,” said Rep. Ansari. “Creating deliberate processing delays for lawfully present individuals who have complied with every requirement is unjust. I’m introducing my Iranian Temporary Immigration Relief Act to protect Iranian immigrants who are already here legally and are contributing to our communities and economy, and would face serious danger if forced to return while ongoing conflict and repression persist in Iran.”

“One of my honors serving as a Member of Congress is the opportunity to submit statements into the Congressional Record recognizing constituents and organizations that strengthen our communities,” said Rep. Ansari. “I was proud to visit Copper Star Coffee and present this recognition in person to celebrate their 20th anniversary and to thank their founders, staff, and supporters for two decades of service, innovation, and community impact in Arizona’s 3rd Congressional District.”

“Ginger and I are incredibly grateful to Congresswoman Yassamin Ansari for recognizing Copper Star’s contributions to our community,” said Bill Sandweg. “For more than 20 years, we’ve worked hard to make Copper Star a welcoming place for everyone. We look forward to many more years!”

Ansari Files Formal Articles of Impeachment Against Secretary of War Pete Hegseth WASHINGTON – Today, Representative Yassamin Ansari (AZ-03) filed Articles of Impeachment against Secretary of War Pete Hegseth for repeatedly violating his oath of office and his duty to the Constitution. “Pete Hegseth broke his oath to the Constitution, put U.S. troops at grave risk through the unauthorized disclosure of classified information, engaged in abuse of office and conduct beneath the dignity of his office, and carried out unlawful military actions despite his obligation to refuse—including strikes on civilians and a girls’ school in Minab, Iran. Hegseth’s conduct meets the threshold of high crimes and misdemeanors and warrants immediate removal by Congress,” said Rep. Ansari. “As the daughter of Iranian immigrants and as someone who swore an oath to uphold the Constitution, I know this absolutely cannot continue. The stakes for U.S. servicemembers and our national security, the Iranian people and innocent civilians everywhere, and global stability are too high to ignore.” Ansari’s articles of impeachment are cosponsored by Representatives Sarah McBride (DE), Lauren Underwood (IL-14), Al Green (TX-09), Steve Cohen (TN-09), Jasmine Crockett (TX-30), Nikema Williams (GA-05), Dina Titus (NV-01), Dave Min (CA-47), Shri Thanedar (MI-13), Melanie Stansbury (NM-01), Mike Quigley (IL-05), Brittany Pettersen (CO-07), and John Larson (CT-01).
