Nanette D. Barragán, a serving member of the U.S. Congress representing California’s 44th district since 2017, has taken to social media to express her views on recent political developments. In her posts, Barragán focuses her criticism on the actions of former President Trump and the current House Republicans, particularly in relation to veterans' affairs, immigration matters, and budgetary decisions.
On April 10, 2025, Barragán stated, "Trump and House Republicans have broken promises to America’s Veterans," elaborating that House Democrats are working to uphold these promises. She expressed her pride in opening the House Democratic Steering and Policy Committee Hearing, which aimed to highlight the alleged cuts made by Trump and House Republicans to veterans' services.
On April 11, 2025, she called for justice in the case of "#KilmarAbregoGarcia," who was deported under the Trump administration and incarcerated in El Salvador. Barragán emphasized the need for Kilmar's return to his family and advocated for due process, underscoring her commitment to rectifying this situation.
Later that day, Barragán criticized House Republicans for passing a budget that she claims undercuts Medicaid and food stamps in favor of providing tax breaks to high-net-worth individuals, including Elon Musk. She asserted that these actions compromised essential services for hardworking Americans.
Barragán, born in Los Angeles in 1976, attended the University of California, Los Angeles, where she earned a BA, and furthered her education with a JD from the University of Southern California. She replaced Janice Hahn in Congress and continues to advocate for various critical issues affecting her constituents.
