Rep. Pramila Jayapal, a congresswoman representing Washington’s 7th district, conveyed her views through a series of tweets on April 9, 2025, on topics involving environmental policies and immigration laws under the Trump Administration.
In her first tweet, Jayapal criticized President Trump's Executive Order aimed at boosting coal production. Posted at 13:55:53 UTC, she highlighted the impact of coal pollution, stating, "Coal pollution was responsible for 460,000 deaths between 1999 and 2020. This order will literally kill people." Jayapal emphasized that steps must be taken to safeguard the planet and communities.
Continuing her critique, at 15:26:09 UTC, Jayapal accused the Trump Administration and Republicans of misleading the public regarding legal immigration enforcement. She stated, "Trump and Republicans repeatedly told us they were all for legal immigration... But now they’re deporting and disappearing people with legal status. They were, and still are, LYING."
In a subsequent comment posted at 16:12:00 UTC, Jayapal acknowledged a significant judicial decision made by a judge appointed by Trump. She noted, "This is an extremely important ruling from a Trump-appointed judge, clearly blocking all deportations without due process from the Southern District of Texas." Jayapal asserted that the Trump Administration is obligated to adhere to this decision.
