Houston Republic

Rep. Sylvia Garcia, a member of the U.S. Congress representing Texas' 29th district, has recently shared insights and advisories through her social media platform. The posts cover topics ranging from immigration rights to local weather safety.

On January 21, 2025, Rep. Garcia emphasized the importance of knowing one's rights during interactions with immigration enforcement agencies such as ICE. She stated, "No matter your immigration status, it’s important for you to know your rights if you ever have an encounter with an immigration enforcement agency like ICE." She urged individuals to stay informed in order to protect themselves and their loved ones.

In a similar post made shortly after, Rep. Garcia reiterated this message in Spanish: "No importa su estatus migratorio, es importante que conozca sus derechos en el caso que tenga que interactuar con una agencia de inmigración como ICE." This reflects her commitment to reaching a broader audience within her constituency.

Later that day, Rep. Garcia commented on unusual weather conditions in Houston by noting the rare occurrence of snow. She advised residents to take precautions: "It’s a rare snow day in Houston! Remember to stay safe—avoid icy roads, bring your pets and plants inside, and protect yourself from the cold!"
