Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett, representing Texas' 30th district in the U.S. Congress, has expressed her concerns regarding recent executive orders issued by former President Donald Trump. Her statements, made through a series of tweets on January 23, 2025, address the implications of these orders on federal employees and minority communities.

In a tweet dated January 23, 2025, Crockett discussed Trump's "End DEI" order. She stated that this order "places all federal employees working to support diversity, equity, and inclusion on paid leave," which may lead to their termination. According to Crockett, this action could result in "loss of qualified and skilled federal employees," a "federal labor shortage," and "delayed government response times." The full tweet can be accessed here.

Another tweet from the same date highlighted Trump's executive orders targeting minority groups. Crockett mentioned that these orders affect "every person that isn’t a white, cis, straight, able-bodied man." This commentary was part of her ongoing analysis of the impact of such policies on immigrant communities as well. The original post is available here.

Furthermore, Crockett addressed Trump's 'Gender Ideology' order in another tweet from January 23, 2025. She explained that this mandate defines gender as the sex of an embryo at conception. As she pointed out, since all embryos have female sex characteristics at conception under this definition, it implies that "all Americans are now defined as female."
