Rep. Zoe Lofgren, a U.S. Congresswoman representing California’s 18th district since 1995, recently used her social media platform to express opposition to funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and to criticize former President Donald Trump’s approach to election oversight.
On February 3, 2026, Lofgren posted, “Today, I once again voted no on giving more money to Trump’s out-of-control ICE agents. I will not support funding as long as they continue lawlessly brutalizing our communities.” The following day, she encouraged followers to view her extended comments by stating, “Watch my full remarks here: https://t.co/ntpN1XMGEw” in a post dated February 4.
Later that same day, Lofgren addressed concerns about election administration and former President Trump’s actions. She wrote, “Trump is raiding election offices and saying Republicans should take power from the states to nationalize elections. He knows that Americans disapprove of his party’s disastrous agenda, and he wants to control elections so that they can win even if they lose.”
Lofgren has served in Congress since succeeding Don Edwards in 1995 after previously serving on the Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors from 1981 through 1994. Born in San Mateo in 1947 and currently residing in San Jose at age 75, she holds degrees from Stanford University (BA) and Santa Clara University (JD).
