Rep. Chuy García @chuygarcia.house.gov · 30/07/2026I oppose the closing of the National Archives facility in Chicago.

Rep. Chuy García @chuygarcia.house.gov · 28/07/2026Innocent children are being locked away and traumatized at the Dilley Trailer Prison.

Rep. Chuy García @chuygarcia.house.gov · 23/07/2026No child should have to learn in fear, & no school should have to endure the trauma of immigration enforcement in their community.

Rep. Chuy García @chuygarcia.house.gov · 22/07/2026We should not give one more cent to Trump and Hegseth to start more wars of choice, while our constituents can’t make ends meet.

Rep. Chuy García @chuygarcia.house.gov · 21/07/2026Dreamers, TPS, and DED recipients are at risk because of Trump’s mass deportation machine.

Rep. Chuy García @chuygarcia.house.gov · 10/06/2026I was proud to stand this morning in support of Chicago Public Schools, our educators, and our students.

Rep. Chuy García @chuygarcia.house.gov · 09/06/2026Today, I voted no on the Republicans’ $70 billion slush fund for ICE and CBP. This bill does nothing to lower the cost of living or make our country better in any way. My full statement below: 0162 16

Rep. Chuy García @chuygarcia.house.gov · 22/04/2026This Earth Day is a reminder that protecting our planet takes action from all of us—including our elected leaders.

Rep. Chuy García @chuygarcia.house.gov · 21/04/2026What is Trump increasing the budget for? One word–war. As he proposes to cut 73 billion for housing, food, education, and health, he is asking for 1.5 trillion for the Pentagon to continue to do more destruction. 175 7
Rep. Chuy García @chuygarcia.house.gov · 15/04/2026This Tax Day is a reminder of where your money went in 2025: ❌ $4,049 for weapons and war ❌ $1,870 for Pentagon contractors ❌ $136 for nuclear weapons ❌ $119 for mass deportations and detention How we use our money reflects our values. It’s time we use it to invest in life—not death and destruction. 22318 23
Rep. Chuy García @chuygarcia.house.gov · 09/04/2026Rep. Correa & I led 86 colleagues to demand answers from DHS Sec.

Rep. Chuy García @chuygarcia.house.gov · 07/04/2026Trump is threatening the Iranian people with genocide on social media. He’s also asking for $1.5 trillion for the Pentagon.

Rep. Chuy García @chuygarcia.house.gov · 02/04/2026Good riddance to one of the worst Attorney Generals in our nation’s history. Like Noem and Bovino, she still needs to be held accountable for the crimes committed under her watch. 21503139 503
Rep. Chuy García @chuygarcia.house.gov · 01/04/2026Today SCOTUS has heard arguments in a case that could determine whether citizens born in the United States are lawful citizens. But the 14th Amendment is clear: birthright citizenship is a constitutional right. SCOTUS must uphold it! 0165 16
Rep. Chuy García @chuygarcia.house.gov · 29/03/2026Today marks the start of Holy Week with the observance of Palm Sunday. I’m wishing everyone celebrating a week of reflection and prayers for peace. 0111 11
Rep. Chuy García @chuygarcia.house.gov · 27/03/2026It takes a real sociopath to brutalize and terrorize children, and sadly, the Trump administration is full of them. 2137 13
Rep. Chuy García @chuygarcia.house.gov · 26/03/2026Our children will carry the fear and trauma inflicted on them by their own government for the rest of their lives. We must do better. To my GOP colleagues: what is the purpose of imprisoning innocent children? 02411 24
Rep. Chuy García @chuygarcia.house.gov · 26/03/2026Kids are being traumatized by Trump’s cruel immigration policies. Their pain and stories are real, yet Republicans refuse to address it. Tomorrow, I’ll be joining @jayapal.house.gov to shed light on this. Make sure to tune in. 073 7

Rep. Chuy García @chuygarcia.house.gov · 18/03/2026The American people want their tax dollars used to lower the cost of living here at home, not to kill our soldiers and innocent civilians abroad. It’s long past time Trump ends his illegal war with Iran. 4158 15
Rep. Chuy García @chuygarcia.house.gov · 18/03/2026My statement on accusations against Cesar Chavez. 16024 60
Rep. Chuy García @chuygarcia.house.gov · 09/03/2026Kristi Noem might be out as Secretary, but I will continue my fight for accountability in the murder of Silverio Villegas-Gonzalez. DHS lied to cover up his killing–the agency must be dismantled and the immigration system rebuilt from the ground up. 14317 43
Rep. Chuy García @chuygarcia.house.gov · 05/03/2026Make no mistake: Kristi Noem deserved to be fired. But the agency she leads has been rogue and lawless since its creation in 2002. No matter who serves as the next Secretary, DHS must be dismantled, and the immigration system rebuilt from the ground up. 1234 23
Rep. Chuy García @chuygarcia.house.gov · 26/02/2026Trump knows his policies are deeply unpopular. That’s why he’s expanded his mass surveillance campaign to target anyone who speaks out against his Administration. From legal residents punished for their views to U.S. citizens killed while protesting, no one is safe from his crackdown on dissent. 22714 27
Rep. Chuy García @chuygarcia.house.gov · 17/02/2026Reverend Jackson’s unwavering commitment to equality and justice has left an indelible mark not only on Chicago’s history but also our nation's history.

Rep. Chuy García @chuygarcia.house.gov · 13/02/2026The American people reject Pam Bondi—Democrats and Republicans alike. Under her leadership, the Justice Department has been marked by rampant lawlessness. She should spare herself further humiliation and resign to face accountability. 44118 41
Rep. Chuy García @chuygarcia.house.gov · 12/02/2026Pam Bondi is one of the worst Attorney Generals in modern history and a willing instrument of Trump’s lawless agenda. She has to go. 13314 33
Rep. Chuy García @chuygarcia.house.gov · 11/02/2026In Trump’s own words, Pam Bondi is weak and ineffective. The American people reject her. 116923 69
Rep. Chuy García @chuygarcia.house.gov · 11/02/2026My statement on the Trump administration's denial of a major disaster declaration for Illinois: 02213 22
Rep. Chuy García @chuygarcia.house.gov · 09/02/2026DHS has long been a failed agency, and its extreme abuses are nothing new. I’ve been sounding the alarm for years under both Republican and Democratic administrations. That’s why we need the Melt ICE Act to end ICE’s detention-industrial complex – and why we must dismantle DHS. 34017 40
Rep. Chuy García @chuygarcia.house.gov · 05/02/2026DHS is a failed rogue agency that for years has been terrorizing and abusing our neighbors. It’s long time we rein it in. I was proud to join colleagues and advocates in support of the Melt ICE Act. 15512 55
Rep. Chuy García @chuygarcia.house.gov · 04/02/2026ICE has terrorized my community and communities nationwide—deploying tear gas, beating neighbors, and instilling fear. Enough is enough! It’s time to end DHS funding and hold everyone accountable. Anything less is a betrayal to our communities, the Constitution, and democracy. 0187 18
Rep. Chuy García @chuygarcia.house.gov · 03/02/2026I joined Democrats outside of ICE HQ to demand an end to the violence DHS has unleashed on our streets. I will not vote to fund any of the terror and destruction we are seeing across the country. DHS is out of control, & this rogue agency must be reined in & Noem must be removed – or impeached! 02813 28
Rep. Chuy García @chuygarcia.house.gov · 03/02/2026Today I’m outside ICE headquarters with fellow Democrats demanding an end to this state sponsored violence and for Kristi Noem to be fired! 4259 25
