U.S. Representative Robin Kelly posted a series of statements on February 11, 2026, criticizing Pam Bondi’s handling of the Epstein case and calling for accountability regarding ICE detention centers.

In a tweet posted at 16:53 UTC, Kelly alleged, “Pam Bondi refused to apologize to Epstein survivors standing right behind her. Instead, she laughed and called it ‘theatrics.’ She released Epstein Files that exposed survivors’ identities—and instead protected pedophiles. If not an apology, we will force answers &”

Later the same day at 17:12 UTC, Kelly commented on Bondi’s testimony before Congress: “Pam Bondi is testifying on the Hill today, and she has a lot to answer for. The DOJ says the Epstein case is over. But survivors know better. Bondi released files that exposed victims while shielding the perpetrators. I stand with survivors in demanding full accountability,”

At 18:15 UTC, Kelly shifted focus to immigration issues: “More than 70,000 people are held in inhumane ICE detention centers. Over 52,000 have no criminal convictions. Due process is being ignored. I am working with @HouseDemocrats to impeach Secretary Kristi Noem for her role in this abuse of power.”

Robin Kelly has served as a U.S. Representative since winning a special election in 2013 and has consistently secured re-election by wide margins against multiple challengers over subsequent election cycles.
