Pramila Jayapal, a member of the U.S. Congress representing Washington’s 7th district since 2017, has taken to social media to express her views on recent issues. On March 15, 2025, she addressed various topics ranging from support for advocacy groups to concerns about immigration policies and public health funding.

In her first tweet of the day, Jayapal expressed gratitude towards advocacy organizations by stating: "Thank you to the @ACLU and @DemocracyFwd for leading this effort." This post was made at 15:32 UTC.

Later that day, at 15:44 UTC, Jayapal voiced her concerns over immigration practices with a focus on Mahmoud Khalil's situation. She tweeted: "Mahmoud Khalil’s arrest and attempted deportation are straight out of an authoritarian playbook, not one of elected officials in a democratic society who claim to be champions of free speech. I’m leading more than 100 House Democrats in demanding answers."

Finally, addressing public health issues at 18:12 UTC, Jayapal criticized a funding decision made by the previous administration. She stated: "People with a life threatening disease, who were being treated with the United States’ help, could now die because of Trump’s illegal funding freeze. Let our agencies do their vital work. Undo the freeze NOW."
