Jesús "Chuy" García, currently serving as a U.S. Congressman for Illinois' 4th district, has taken to social media to share updates and his perspective on recent political matters. García, who succeeded Luis Gutiérrez in 2019, represents a district with a significant Hispanic population and is known for his engagement with constituents and advocacy on immigration issues.
On April 2, 2025, García announced the launch of "Tu Caucus" by the Hispanic Caucus. He described it as "a more personal look at those of us who represent you," encouraging the public to get to know them better.
A day later, on April 3, 2025, García criticized the Trump administration and Elon Musk in a statement accusing them of "weaponizing AI to carry out their lawless and dangerous agenda targeting immigrants, workers, and consumers." He noted with disapproval that his "Republican colleagues remain silent" on the issue.
On April 4, 2025, García expressed relief regarding a matter involving one of his constituents in a tweet. He reported that his constituent had been freed after being detained out of state and was now able to assist his brother. However, he condemned the Trump administration's "continued weaponization of immigration laws and criminalization of immigrants," describing these policies as inhumane and wrong.
