Congresswoman Sydney Kamlager-Dove, who represents California’s 37th district in the U.S. Congress, has recently addressed a series of issues on her social media account, ranging from immigration enforcement to federal worker compensation and U.S. foreign policy in Central Asia.
On October 19, 2025, Kamlager-Dove posted about the impact of recent immigration enforcement actions, stating, “Trump’s ICE raids have upended our community. I’m grateful to our county’s leadership for working to help ease the economic burden these raids have imposed on Angelenos. Their goal is to tear our communities apart. We won’t let them win.”
Later the same day, she criticized former President Donald Trump regarding federal workers’ pay during furloughs: “Trump is trying to steal the paychecks of thousands of furloughed federal workers by violating a law he himself signed in 2019. Ironic. Cruel. Illegal. We’re going to fight like hell to ensure every federal worker receives their back pay.”
On October 20, 2025, Kamlager-Dove discussed her role as Ranking Member of the South & Central Asia Subcommittee and her efforts on U.S.-Central Asia relations: “As Ranking Member of the South & Central Asia Subcommittee, I sent a letter w/ @RepHuizenga urging Trump to convene a Leaders’ Summmit with the Central Asian countries on the 10th anniversary of the C5+1 forum & secure commitments that strengthen the US-Central Asia relationship.”
Sydney Kamlager-Dove has served in the U.S. Congress since 2023, after succeeding Karen Bass. Before her congressional tenure, she was a member of the California State Assembly from 2018 to 2021 and the California Senate from 2021 to 2023. Born in Chicago in 1972, Kamlager-Dove resides in Los Angeles and holds a BA from the University of Southern California.
