Congresswoman Andrea Salinas, who represents Oregon’s 6th District in the U.S. Congress, addressed a range of issues on her Twitter account on May 19, 2026.

In a post published at 20:37 UTC, Salinas criticized former President Donald Trump’s immigration policies, stating: “Trump sent ICE and CBP to terrorize our communities, putting women’s safety at risk. This attack must end. Today I joined @DemWomenCaucus to shine a light on how Trump’s immigration enforcement is threatening women. We will fight to ensure that justice is served.”

Later that evening, at 22:31 UTC, Salinas commented on economic conditions for American families and the priorities of the Trump administration: “Hardworking families are barely making ends meet each month. Yet President Trump is more worried about his billionaire-first agenda rather than fixing the cost-of-living crisis he created. This has to stop.”

In another post at 23:47 UTC, Salinas announced new federal funding for her district: “GOOD NEWS: $750,000 in federal funding is coming to the City of #Newberg! This funding will ensure that the Newberg community gets reliable, clean drinking water for years to come “
