Later that day, at 12:53 p.m. UTC, she commented on remarks made by another lawmaker regarding legislative negotiations and partisan conflicts in Congress. Jayapal stated: “Republican Rep. Steve Womack is exactly right. This is what happens when Republicans do partisan recessions packages, break promises on agreements made, and slash agencies and programs unconstitutionally. Unprecedented. And @HouseDems won’t give in–we’re standing up to cancel https://t.co/sqSfMi10Zp”.
Addressing federal immigration enforcement later the same day at 2:30 p.m. UTC, Jayapal wrote: “As ICE continues to ramp up its lawless actions, kidnapping and deporting people from communities across this country, I will continue to hold them accountable.
This administration is tearing apart families, and we must continue to use our voices to fight back. https://t.co/MnNhNzjR7R“.
