The following day, on June 2, 2025, she addressed an antisemitic attack that occurred in Boulder. Emphasizing the need for justice and accountability, she said: “What happened in Boulder was a violent antisemitic attack on a peaceful gathering, and it cannot be ignored. I stand with the victims and their families in calling for justice and accountability.” Garcia called for unity against hate and violence.
Later that day, Garcia highlighted concerns regarding extreme heat as America’s deadliest weather threat. Criticizing Texas Governor Greg Abbott’s decision to ban cities from implementing protective measures against extreme heat, she stated: “Extreme heat is America’s deadliest weather threat—dangerous for workers, our grid, and costing us over $200 billion a year.” Her office is leading efforts in Congress while urging action from the Trump administration.
