At Trump's record-setting 2026 State of the Union, Democrats protested Jeffrey Epstein abuse with "Stand with Survivors" pins amid heated immigration rhetoric and a $35M settlement.

Reps. Jamie Raskin and Suhas Subramanyam invited Democrats to wear pins in support of Virginia Giuffre's family and other survivors of Jeffrey Epstein's abuse during President Donald Trump's historic State of the Union address on February 25, 2026. The redacted "files" on the pins, which read "Stand with Survivors, Release the Files," emphasize calls for openness. In a contentious exchange, Trump criticized lawmakers who did not prioritize American citizens, including Rep. Ilhan Omar, and emphasized immigration enforcement, calling on them to stand if they did. He demanded sanctions against officials who impede the deportation of criminal aliens and denounced sanctuary cities. The Epstein estate reached a $35 million settlement with survivors at the same time as the longest speech in history.
