Rep. Pramila Jayapal, who has represented Washington’s 7th district in the U.S. Congress since 2017, recently used her social media platform to address several national issues, including transparency around the Epstein case files and federal immigration enforcement practices.
On September 5, 2025, Jayapal called for the full release of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein, stating: “The FULL Epstein Files need to be released. Not some version that’s been heavily reviewed and redacted by Trump’s DOJ. EVERYTHING. That’s why I’ve signed the House discharge petition for complete transparency.”
Later that day, she promoted a new podcast episode with Kristin Rowe-Finkbeiner of MomsRising on September 5, 2025: “NEW POD: I talked w/ my good friend @rowefinkbeiner of @MomsRising about Trump’s attacks on working families, the most important policies we need to be fighting for, and how we can improve our resistance. Watch below/listen anywhere you get your podcasts!”
Addressing immigration policy on September 5, 2025, Jayapal wrote: “Trump promised to go after the ‘worst of the worst.’ Yet his ICE is targeting everyday people, many of whom have legal status or are hardworking members of our communities. And these raids often sweep up U.S. citizens in the process. It has to end.”
Jayapal succeeded Jim McDermott as representative in Congress in 2017 after serving in the Washington State Senate from 2014 to 2016. She was born in Chennai (then Madras State) in 1965 and currently resides in Seattle at age 57. Jayapal holds degrees from Georgetown University and Northwestern University.
