On April 15, 2025, John Garamendi tweeted that "It’s simple: @HouseDemocrats are fighting to protect and expand Social Security. The Trump-Musk administration? They’re trying to dismantle it." He voiced his support by cosponsoring the Social Security 2100 Act and introducing the Fair COLA for Seniors Act, aiming to address rising living costs.

In a statement from April 16, 2025, Garamendi highlighted the case of "Kilmar Abrego Garcia is innocent- but he's been trapped in a Salvadoran prison for over a month because the Trump admin made an 'administrative error.' Now they’re defying a 9-0 Supreme Court ruling to bring him home." He emphasized the broader implications for due process beyond this individual case.

On the same day, Garamendi expressed his honor in participating at "the American Defense Communities Summit." He addressed urgent needs in military communities like Travis Air Force Base, focusing on aging infrastructure and his role as the top Democrat in the Armed Services Readiness Subcommittee.
