Rep. Norma Torres, a U.S. Congress member representing California's 35th district, has expressed her views on various issues through recent tweets. Torres, who has been serving in Congress since 2015 and was born in Escuintla, Guatemala, often shares her perspectives on immigration policies and cultural celebrations.
On February 20, 2025, Rep. Norma Torres tweeted about the deportation of unaccompanied minors. She stated: "Deportar a niños no acompañados no solo es cruel, es un fracaso moral. Estos niños llegaron solos, buscando seguridad, y EE. UU. los está enviando de regreso al peligro. Esto es inaceptable. Debemos hacerlo mejor."
Later that day, she celebrated National Marimba Day with another tweet: " ¡Feliz Día Nacional de la Marimba! Como orgullosa guatemalteca, celebro nuestro instrumento nacional—un símbolo de nuestra historia, cultura y alegría. Que su sonido siga uniendo a nuestra comunidad en EE.UU. y más allá."
On February 21, 2025, Torres criticized the U.S president's approach to handling migration issues and relations with Mexico: "Instead of using USAID to tackle migration’s root causes and helping the DOJ prosecute cartel leaders, the U.S president wants to invade Mexico? This reckless approach ignores long-term solutions in favor of escalation."
