Representative Jimmy Gomez, currently serving in the U.S. Congress for California's 34th district, recently addressed concerns on social media regarding immigration enforcement and labor issues. On February 6, 2025, he shared several posts highlighting these topics.

In a tweet posted on February 6, 2025, Gomez mentioned the apprehensions of families in his district about Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids. He stated that "We’re hearing from many families who are worried about ICE raids in #CA34, so #TeamGomez is canvassing neighborhoods to share Know Your Rights resources. Everyone has the right to due process—no matter their immigration status." He provided contact information for assistance, encouraging those in need to reach out.

Later that day, at 17:03 UTC, Gomez expressed his views on labor protection policies via another tweet. He criticized attempts by Elon Musk and associates to influence the Department of Labor's direction, asserting that "The Department of Labor exists to protect workers, not to serve billionaires. Now, Musk and his DOGE cronies want to take over and put a target on workers’ backs." He warned that such changes could result in reduced wages and protections for workers.

At 22:47 UTC on the same day, Gomez raised alarms concerning privacy issues related to financial data access by Elon Musk. He tweeted that he was actively voicing these concerns at a committee meeting: "I’m at @WaysMeansCmte sounding the alarm: While Americans struggle with high costs, the Treasury Secretary has given Elon Musk—an unelected billionaire—access to YOUR personal financial info like bank account numbers, SSNs & more." He emphasized potential risks of data leaks arising from this situation.
