Judy Chu, a member of the U.S. Congress representing California’s 28th district since 2009, recently addressed several issues on social media. Her statements reflect her continued advocacy for immigrant rights and her concern over local emergency response practices.

On January 22, 2025, Judy Chu emphasized the importance of supporting immigrants in the United States. She stated, "Ours is a nation built by immigrants, and I will always support and stand with them. If you’re an immigrant, please know your rights—check out my video for essential information: https://t.co/9p5C35kFSj".

Later that day, she highlighted her office's role as a resource for both citizens and non-citizens to be informed about their rights. Chu noted, "My office is a resource for support and assistance for immigrants. It is crucial for everyone—citizens and non-citizens alike—to be informed about their rights."

On January 23, 2025, Chu expressed concern regarding delayed evacuation warnings during the Eaton Fire affecting western Altadena residents. She urged Los Angeles County emergency officials to investigate the matter independently: "I’m dismayed & deeply concerned that evacuation warnings and orders were significantly delayed for residents in western Altadena, west of Lake Avenue, at the start of the Eaton Fire. I urge @CountyofLA emergency officials to conduct an immediate, independent investigation."
