Jesús "Chuy" García, a U.S. Congressman representing Illinois’ 4th district, has recently expressed his views on several significant topics through a series of tweets. These posts reflect his perspectives on cultural recognition, tax policy, and immigration issues.

On February 1, 2025, García highlighted the importance of African American contributions to the United States by stating: "Our country is a better place because of the invaluable contributions of African Americans. This #BHM, we recognize and celebrate the extraordinary achievements of Black Americans in every part of American life and culture."

The following day, February 2, 2025, García announced an update related to tax filing services in Illinois: "¡Grandes noticias! DirectFile, gracias a la Ley de Reducción de la Inflación, ¡ya está abierto para 2025! Ahora, muchos contribuyentes de Illinois pueden presentar sus impuestos federales gratuitamente." He provided a link for taxpayers to access this service.

On February 3, 2025, García addressed concerns regarding immigration policies under the current administration: "From schools to businesses to our workforce and economy, this nation depends on immigrant contributions. The cruel actions from this admin and ICE are only spreading fear, stopping people from reporting crimes, and diverting resources from real threats. #ADayWithoutImmigrants" This tweet underscores his criticism of current immigration enforcement measures.
