The Trump administration is tearing down protections for immigrants, dismantling Temporary Protected Status and parole programs that keep families safe I joined @ramirez.house.gov to demand Congress pass the American Dream & Promise Act and give Dreamers and long-time residents a path to citizenship

🚨 Women’s safety must be a priority. I am leading a @demwomencaucus.bsky.social letter urging ICE to require agents to visibly and clearly identify themselves during immigration enforcement and hold impersonators fully accountable. ⬇️

🗳️ On the 60th anniversary of the Voting Rights Act, we honor those who fought to bring democracy closer to all of us, especially historically underrepresented communities long shut out of power.

Congresswoman Sylvia Garcia Statement on Proposed Texas Congressional Maps

🚨 Republicans are illegally blocking $612 MILLION in approved funds from reaching schools in Texas. This is a huge blow to working families who depend on specialized learning courses & counseling to help their children succeed. @democrats-appropriations.house.gov

I’ll be attending Saturday’s public hearing on redistricting to Texas’s congressional map. 📅 July 26 | 🕚 11 AM 📍 University of Houston – Student Center, Houston Room (Room 220) The public is welcome to attend and speak on the record.

“Fight fire with fire": The Texas Legislature is back in session with Republicans pushing to carve out five new GOP seats. @sylviagarcia.house.gov joins The Weeknight to discuss.

Trump is trying to rig the 2026 election—because he knows his ideas are losing. He’s targeting Texas because it’s a red state with leaders who’ll do his bidding. He called the Governor and said: I need five seats. This isn’t democracy. It’s a power grab by the Felon in the White House.

Just two weeks ago, Republicans and Trump blew a $4 trillion hole in the deficit while throwing millions off their health care. Now they're cutting $9 billion from Sesame Street, public radio, and foreign food assistance for people living in poverty abroad.

Republicans could learn something from the Count on Sesame Street. $9 billion in funding cuts mean nothing when you just voted two weeks ago to drive up the deficit by $4 trillion—all to give billionaires a tax break they don't need. The numbers just don't add up. This is fiscal irresponsibility.

While kids were asleep, House Republicans gutted PBS and global food aid for the first time in decades—just to please the Felon in the White House. I stand with the children, not Trump. I voted NO.

Congresswoman Sylvia Garcia Statement on Voting No on Cryptocurrency Bills: CLARITY and GENIUS Acts

Five years after his passing, we honor John Lewis by continuing his fight. As Trump and Abbott try to rig Texas’s congressional maps, we make #GoodTrouble—just like he taught us. Voting rights. Fair maps. Real representation. The fight isn’t over.

While Texans are in mourning from devastating floods, Trump & Gov. Abbott are rushing an off-cycle gerrymandering scheme that would rig the midterm elections, suppress voters, and undermine democracy. I’ve spent my career advocating for voting rights. We must defend them now more than ever.

#Republicans know their unpopular agenda will cost them the House, so they're attempting to cheat to steal power so they can keep taking healthcare away from marginalized people. Every #vote and every voice matters. We will not back down.

🍅 Trump’s push to end the Tomato Suspension Agreement (TSA) by July 14 would trigger a 17% tariff on tomatoes imported from Mexico. Salsa will be pricier, shelves emptier, and groceries more expensive. Tens of thousands of jobs, including 30,000 Texans, will be at risk.

Congresswoman Sylvia Garcia Statement on Governor Abbott's Decision to Call a Special Session on Redistricting

At a time when lawmakers face rising threats of violence, Randy Fine’s racist, Islamophobic smear is vile and dangerous. Hate like this has no place in Congress, or anywhere. An attack on one is an attack on all. I stand with my colleague @repilhan.bsky.social

Imagine thinking that “support the troops” means letting banks keep $80 million they stole from service members, veterans, and their families. Trump is allowing this to happen under his watch.

Yes, that’s me. Yes, same outfit. Yes, we’ve been up all night fighting to protect your healthcare. We’re here to tell your stories—so share them with us: 👉 democraticleader.house.gov/shareyourstory @housedemocrats.bsky.social

@housedemocrats.bsky.social are united against Trump’s #BigUglyBill, which will gut Medicaid and SNAP for millions of Americans. Shame on Congressional Republicans for ramming this abomination of a bill through the House at the expense of working families, seniors, veterans, and children.

[email protected] are united and fighting back against the Trump and Republican Big Ugly Bill that guts Medicaid and SNAP, and we’re standing firm to protect the working families, children, seniors, and veterans who depend on them. We will not stop.

In Texas, 1 in 5 kids go hungry. Yet Senate Republicans have abandoned all decency & voted for the largest cut to SNAP food assistance in U.S. history. They are literally taking food from the mouths of children, seniors & veterans to give tax breaks to billionaires. We have to stop this cruelty

Trump’s Big Ugly Bill sells out working families. Republicans in Congress are rushing to pass this bill, which slashes Medicaid and the ACA, ripping health care from 17 million people. In Texas alone, more than 1.6 million would lose health care coverage and nursing homes will be forced to shut down

Donald Trump’s One Big, Ugly Bill just passed the Senate. 🚨 One of the most devastating bills for working people in U.S. history. ⬇️

Trump’s cruel immigration crackdown isn’t just inhumane; it’s an economic disaster for Houston. Immigrants are 38% of Texas construction workers & ICE raids are gutting job sites and ripping families apart. We can’t build our future by destroying communities www.houstonchronicle.com/business/rea...

Congresswoman Sylvia Garcia Condemns Supreme Court Decision Limiting Nationwide Injunctions ⬇️

Ten years ago today, the Supreme Court made same-sex marriage the law of the land—a historic victory for love, equality, and justice. But the fight isn’t over. We must keep moving forward. #EqualityDay @equality.house.gov

Today marks three years since #RoevWade was overturned. Let’s be clear: abortion is health care, and your health care decisions belong to you—no one else. As a proud @reprocaucus.bsky.social Member, today and every day, I trust you to make decisions about your life, health, and body.

“Dreamers are home and we’re going to be here to support them.” Thank you @sylviagarcia.house.gov for fighting to protect #DACA recipients and Dreamers!

TODAY: Ahead of the 13th anniversary of #DACA, @durbin.senate.gov, @padilla.senate.gov, @sylviagarcia.house.gov, and @ramirez.house.gov joined @fwd.us, @unitedwedream.org, & #DACA recipients and Dreamers to highlight the urgent need for a legislative solution that provides a pathway to citizenship.

"We have a bipartisan bill — the Dream and Promise Act. A pathway to citizenship for Dreamers is good for the economy, it’s good for our country, and it’s good for all Americans. We need to pass it now." — @sylviagarcia.house.gov

Like @sylviagarcia.house.gov said, "We're not going anywhere." 🧡

I stand with Dreamers and all immigrants on this #DACA anniversary and every day. Dreamers grow our economy and contribute to our communities. DACA must be protected until Congress passes the bipartisan American Dream and Promise Act and delivers real security. #HomeIsHere

DACA has broad support across the country because people know it works. Dreamers are our coworkers, neighbors, and loved ones. It’s time to give them the permanent protections they deserve by passing the bipartisan American Dream and Promise Act. #HomeIsHere

Durante 13 años, #DACA ha transformado vidas y comunidades en todo el país. Es hora de estabilidad permanente para los Soñadores. Necesitamos aprobar la ley bipartidista del Sueño y la Promesa Americana para mantener a las familias unidas. #HomeIsHere

For 13 years, #DACA has transformed lives, communities, and our country. It’s time to turn temporary protection into real stability. We need to pass my bipartisan American Dream and Promise Act to keep families together and our communities strong. #HomeIsHere

62 years ago, President Kennedy signed the Equal Pay Act into law. It was a major step forward, but the fight isn’t over. Women still earn less for equal work. @housedemocrats.bsky.social and @demwomencaucus.bsky.social are pushing to make real pay equity a reality.

On today’s Democratic Daily Download, @sylviagarcia.house.gov highlights how Republican cuts to SNAP in the One, Big Ugly Bill will strain our food banks and leave families in our communities behind.

Happy #pridemonth2025 to Texas-29! During Pride we celebrate the freedom for everyone to live authentically and recommit ourselves to the fight for equality. @equality.house.gov

My full statement on passage of the House Republican budget and reconciliation package:

Republicans are holding hearings at 1 a.m. because they don’t want you to see them vote to kick nearly 14 million people off their health insurance—all so billionaires can afford another yacht.

It was great to join @sylviagarcia.house.gov in East Aldine for a town hall to discuss the journey ahead to protect Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, SNAP, and other benefits for our seniors. Thank you for joining us and sharing your stories.

Thank you to @joaquincastrotx.bsky.social for joining me at our town hall to hear directly from seniors about the fight to protect their benefits. The fear is real — people rely on Social Security, Medicare, and SNAP for food, medicine, and basic needs. We won’t let Trump take that away.

Judge Lina Hidalgo joined @sylviagarcia.house.gov for a pre-Easter celebration with seniors in South Houston.

I stand on the shoulders of giants–and Dolores Huerta is one of them. On her 95th birthday, I’m proud to reintroduce my resolution to make April 10th national Dolores Huerta Day. Her fight for justice, dignity, and workers’ rights shaped my path and our country.

Speaker Johnson and House Republicans are turning a blind eye to the chaos caused by Trump. Where are they? They should work with Democrats to protect our constituents and rein in this President and stop his economic catastrophe in the making.
