Hakeem Jeffries has been active on immigration and redistricting, recently appearing at a New Jersey immigration event where he called for the Delaney Hall ICE detention facility to close. He also met with Maryland Democrats to discuss mid-cycle redistricting, as the party weighs a map that could boost Democrats. Jeffries has continued to position himself as a leading Democratic figure, with allies backing him for a future Speaker bid even as some Democratic candidates remain hesitant. He also criticized Republican Rep. Randy Fine over comments widely seen as Islamophobic.
