Gabe Vasquez, a member of the U.S. Congress representing New Mexico's 2nd District since 2023, has recently expressed concerns regarding actions taken by former President Donald Trump. Through a series of tweets, Vasquez conveyed his stance on recent political developments.

On January 21, 2025, Vasquez criticized several decisions associated with former President Trump's administration. In one tweet, he stated: "The pardoning of January 6th rioters who contributed to the death of police officers, laying the groundwork for mass deportation and unconstitutionally attempting to end birthright citizenship are all egregious." This comment reflects his disapproval of certain controversial policies and actions that were undertaken during Trump's tenure.

In another tweet from the same date, Vasquez remarked on the signing of executive orders by Trump: "Tonight, President Trump signed multiple executive orders, including several that are extremely concerning and go against our American values." His statement underscores apprehensions about measures that may conflict with foundational principles held by many Americans.

Furthermore, Vasquez articulated his commitment to serving his constituents in New Mexico. He tweeted: "I will work in the best interest of New Mexicans, our economy and the constitutional rights we hold dear to prevent government overreach and give our families the best, and most fair opportunity at a prosperous future." This declaration highlights his dedication to economic growth and protecting constitutional rights within his district.
