Congressman García’s Statement on Trump’s Speech and Executive Orders

CHICAGO — Congressman Jesús “Chuy” García (IL-04) issued the following statement regarding President Donald Trump’s inaugural speech and executive orders:

“Donald Trump used his second inaugural speech to boast about expansionist ideas, sink deeper into climate denialism, and continue criminalizing immigrants. While his rhetoric is divisive, the promises he made are downright dangerous and they begin today with a series of executive orders. 

“Needless to say, his platform and the billionaires he has surrounded himself with will not fix our broken immigration system, or help bring down the price of groceries or rent. Both his speech and his actions set the tone for a devastating four years for working families, immigrant communities, and LGBTQ+ people.”
