On February 14, 2026, Jayapal criticized former President Donald Trump’s allocation of funds for immigration enforcement. She wrote, “Trump is spending $38.3 billion for ICE to incarcerate tens of thousands of immigrants in warehouses. Instead, we could spend: $20 billion to end homelessness in the U.S. $30 billion to extend the ACA tax credits for a year $20 billion for free school lunches nationwide”.
Later that day, Jayapal alleged misconduct by a public official related to the Epstein case, stating on February 14, 2026: “Pam Bondi is orchestrating a massive cover-up of the Epstein Files.” She also posted a link without additional comment at 18:43:12 UTC.
