No documented enforcement against Rick Larsen

Rick Larsen has 2 documented facts referencing violations, fines, settlements, or fraud, but no connection in the platform's graph documents an enforcement action, prosecution, sanction, or consent decree against them. This may indicate the platform's data is incomplete — or it may indicate a real enforcement gap. Either way, it's worth a closer look.

Voted nay on S. 5 / H.R. 29 (Laken Riley Act — On Passage) on 2025-01-07: Larsen was one of 156 Democrats to vote against mandatory ICE detention for undocumented immigrants charged with theft (263-156). His district is 93.7% citizens with 13.6% foreign-born — immigration enforcement has modest direct impact. 46 Democrats crossed party lines to support the bill; Larsen was not among them. His Nay vote aligned with his progressive base but distinguished him from moderates like Gluesenkamp Perez (WA-03), who voted Yea. Larsen did not issue a prominent public statement on this vote, unlike his more forceful messaging on DHS/ICE funding months later.
