Jesús "Chuy" García, a congressman representing Illinois's 4th district, has recently shared a series of social media posts expressing his views on various national issues. García, who has been serving in Congress since 2019, has a history in Illinois politics, including terms in the Illinois Senate and the Cook County Board of Commissioners. He continues to voice his concerns on pressing matters through social media, addressing topics such as immigration policies and economic strategies.

On April 2, 2025, Congressman García echoed the sentiments of Senator Cory Booker, stating "@SenBooker is right. This is a dangerous time in our country. The Trump regime is weaponizing immigration to silence dissent, kidnap innocent people off our streets, and spend taxpayer dollars to send them to a gulag in El Salvador. Enough is enough!" This post indicates his strong opposition to certain immigration policies and practices attributed to the Trump administration.

Later that day, García highlighted a significant change in the Social Security system, informing his audience "ICYMI: Social Security now requires mySSA users to log in via https://t.co/F2L8x3DwVj or https://t.co/nfT1yP7zSG. Read below to learn more and ensure you are able to still access your account! La Oficina de Seguro Social ahora requiere que los usuarios de mySSA entren a través https://t.co/cUhJDhuPlg". This information aims to keep constituents informed on accessing social security services.

In another post, García critiqued the economic policies of the Trump administration, particularly tariffs. He stated on the evening of April 2, 2025, "Trump’s tariffs are expensive for families, unhelpful for workers and a giveaway to his billionaire friends. He is weaponizing a trade tool, alienating allies and deepening economic insecurity for consumers and small businesses." García's statement underscores his concerns about the economic impacts of tariffs on American families and businesses.
