Representative Tran heard from law enforcement professionals about the challenges local authorities face, particularly regarding staffing shortages, recruitment, and retention.

The legislation updates the scope of criminality for offenses involving stolen property to counter evolving trends in retail theft, and helps federal agencies better coordinate law enforcement actions related to organized retail crime. “Orange County, California alone is home to over 100,000 mom-and-pop shops that support thousands of families and power our economy. Retail crime is not just an attack on our local entrepreneurs’ livelihoods – it makes our neighborhoods less safe for everyone in our community,” said Representative Tran. “The C ombating Organized Retail Crime Act is a key step toward providing the security and certainty our local business owners deserve. I’m proud to support this bipartisan effort that will keep business booming on Orange County’s main streets.” As a member of the Bipartisan Congressional Law Enforcement Caucus, Representative Tran is dedicated to supporting local law enforcement efforts to ensure our community’s safety. Representative Tran secured nearly $2 million for crime prevention efforts in Southern California following the passage of bipartisan government spending legislation through the House. Tran is also a cosponsor of the COPS Reauthorization Act to provide funding for local law enforcement agencies to hire and retain more officers and provide necessary training and equipment through the Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) program. In July 2025, Tran joined his colleagues on a letter urging continued funding for the High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA) program, which supports interagency coordination efforts to intercept drug trafficking operatio

On February 28, 2026, President Trump bypassed Congress to strike Iran, launching a war that has cost at least $25 billion, killed 13 brave U.S. servicemembers and wounded hundreds more, and caused prices to skyrocket at home. The No Funds for Iran War Act would require an Authorization for the Use of Military Force (AUMF) or an official declaration of war from Congress to fund further military action against Iran with federal tax revenue. Read the full text of the bill HERE . “Over sixty days into the Trump Administration’s reckless war of choice in Iran, thirteen American soldiers have lost their lives, and our children will be saddled with the global consequences and a multi-billion-dollar debt. Instead of bringing Iran closer to a free and democratic future, President Trump and Secretary Hegseth have destroyed the lives and livelihoods of thousands of civilians in their failure to act with transparency, measured diplomacy, and thoughtful justification. The Trump Administration's impulsive, unilateral military actions, without the consent of the American people, are further destabilizing an already volatile region. I stand firmly with my fellow Democratic Veterans in Congress to demand a halt in funds for this reckless war and reassert Congressional authority over war-making powers. I will not accept another forever war,” said Representative Derek Tran. “The American people have been clear from the beginning: they want lower costs and no more

These delays mean that hard-working, law-abiding constituents are losing their status and their ability to work. Representative Tran’s letter to USCIS Director Joseph Edlow seeks further information about the cause of the casework backlogs and urges USCIS to restore constituents’ access to timely and accurate assistance as they navigate the immigration system. Read the full letter HERE . “Since January of this year, my office has experienced a consistent and troubling absence of responses to congressional inquiries submitted to the TSC. This lack of communication appears to be in direct conflict with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) policy guidance, which states that congressional inquiries are expected to receive a response within 30 days,” wrote Representative Tran. “Constituents served by my office are reporting significant hardship due to delayed adjudications, including the imminent loss of employment because of lapses in work authorization. USCIS’s inability to provide updates or assistance to my office in a timely manner further compounds these challenges and interferes with my duty to effectively serve my constituents.” Since taking office in January 2025, Tran’s office has opened over 230 cases to assist constituents related to the adjudication of their immigration status with federal agencies. Representative Tran continues to closely monitor immigration enforcement activity across Southern California. He recently joined Representatives Lou Correa (CA-46) and Chuy García (IL-04) in a letter to USCIS requesting immediate action to reduce delays in pr

These refugees face the risk of deportation under the current administration's anti-immigration policies. Rep. Henry Johnson (GA-4) served as a co-sponsor for the legislation. “As the son of Vietnamese refugees and the first Vietnamese American to represent Orange County’s Little Saigon in Congress, I am committed to protecting the Vietnamese refugees, many of whom fought alongside American troops, who came to this country in search of freedom and democracy. The Vietnamese American community has defined what it means to achieve the American dream, working tirelessly and passing on a better life to our children. We must ensure that Vietnamese refugees are protected and able to prosper in the country they have called home for decades,” said Rep. Derek Tran . “Orange County is home to the largest Vietnamese population outside of Vietnam, who created a vibrant culture and booming economy that shaped our community for the better. Vietnam War refugees saw the opportunity that lay before them and made the best of it,” said Rep. Lou Correa . “We need to make sure that we protect those refugees, many of whom worked with Americans and fought alongside our troops in the war. Returning these refugees to Vietnam poses a threat to their lives, liberty, and security. They have earned the right to be in America, and they shouldn’t be forced to return to a country they left decades ago.” The Honor Our Commitment Act would codify protections given to Vietnamese refugees in the U.S. under a 2008 Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the U.S. and Vietnam that included protectio
