John Garamendi, a member of the U.S. Congress representing California's 8th district, shared several updates on March 26, 2025, through his social media account. The congressman addressed issues related to immigrant workers' rights, misuse of taxpayer data, and national security concerns.

On March 26, 2025, Garamendi commemorated six immigrant workers who died due to the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge. He emphasized that "the families of those who passed shouldn’t front the bill," and announced his introduction of a bill aimed at holding ship vessel owners accountable for such tragedies. "Today, we commemorate the six immigrant workers who were tragically killed by the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge."

Later that day, Garamendi criticized former President Trump for allegedly attempting to use IRS data against undocumented immigrants filing taxes in good faith. He expressed pride in joining other representatives in urging the IRS and DHS to oppose this action. "Trump is trying to weaponize IRS data to target undocumented immigrants who file in good faith."

In another post on March 26, Garamendi accused Republicans of spinning narratives around Pete Hegseth's alleged leak of classified information that could endanger servicemembers. He called for Hegseth to testify about the incident before congressional committees. "Don’t believe republicans's spin. Hegseth leaked classified information that could have gotten servicemembers killed."
