She urged unity against hatred and a commitment to a future grounded in respect and dignity. "On Holocaust Remembrance Day, we honor the lives lost and the survivors who continue to teach us the importance of remembrance and compassion. Let’s stand united against hatred and commit to building a future based on respect and dignity."

The following day, January 28, 2025, Rep. Torres criticized former President Trump's decision to halt funding for essential services, highlighting its impact on working families and legal obligations.
