We have bombed a nation we are not at war with and have done so without Congress knowing about it, voting on it or approving it. President Trump’s actions are not only unconstitutional—they are dangerous.

As Ranking Member of the Military Personnel Subcommittee I am especially concerned for our service members, their families and other Americans who are in the region and request an immediate briefing on the full details.

The Trump administration must brief Congress immediately and fully on this action and the Americans currently in the region who are at risk, and must also come before Congress as required before taking any further action.
