Congresswoman Sydney Kamlager-Dove, who represents California’s 37th district in the U.S. Congress, recently posted a series of statements on social media addressing issues ranging from FIFA ticket pricing to U.S. foreign policy and immigration enforcement.
On March 16, 2026, Kamlager-Dove criticized FIFA for its World Cup ticketing practices, stating: “FIFA is price gouging fans for World Cup tickets with dynamic pricing while disinvesting in free fan fests—all during an affordability crisis.
Proud to lead my colleagues in calling on FIFA to drop the prices. The World Cup should be about the fans, not FIFA’s profits.”
The following day, March 17, she commented on the death of an Afghan national in ICE custody: “Mohammad fought alongside American troops and escaped the Taliban, only to die in ICE custody.
Another disgusting display of ICE brutality under Trump’s draconian immigration policies. Republicans: these are the consequences of your betrayal of our Afghan allies.”
Later that same day, Kamlager-Dove addressed concerns over U.S. Iran policy and congressional oversight: “Trump put his business partner Steve Witkoff & son-in-law Jared Kushner in charge of Iran policy. Now we’re in a reckless war of choice.
The real estate bros, Rubio, & Hegseth must come before @HouseForeign. Congress has the sole power to declare war—you can’t escape oversight.”
Sydney Kamlager-Dove began representing California’s 37th District in Congress after succeeding Karen Bass in 2023. Before her tenure in Congress, she served in both the California State Assembly and Senate between 2018 and 2023. Born in Chicago in 1972 and currently residing in Los Angeles, Kamlager-Dove graduated from the University of Southern California with a BA degree in 1994.
