Rep. Teresa Leger Fernández, a member of the U.S. House of Representatives, used her social media platform on August 11, 2025, to criticize former President Donald Trump’s policies and actions regarding federal workers, tariffs, and the use of military force in American cities.
In a post published at 17:31 UTC on August 11, Rep. Leger Fernández stated: "Trump has wanted to militarize our streets for years—not to deal with crime, but to cause chaos and take more power for himself. DC is just the easiest place to start but any city in America could be next. The men and women who serve our country don't deserve to be used as https://t.co/NYBGEhQipL".
Later that day at 18:42 UTC, she commented on trade policy by posting: "Americans can see through Trump’s temper tariffs. https://t.co/KOzNSsWr9U".
At 19:35 UTC on the same day, Rep. Leger Fernández addressed labor issues within federal agencies: "TSA officers work hard to keep us safe. Meanwhile, the Trump administration is attacking all federal unions, including the VA and TSA. Federal workers deserve protection from Trump's anti-worker rampage. https://t.co/5n8v7XDlSW".
Leger Fernández has been an active figure in New Mexico politics in recent election cycles. In 2024, she won against Sharon Clahchischilliage in the general election with 41.8% of the vote compared to her opponent's 43.7%. She previously defeated Alexis Martinez Johnson in both the 2022 and 2020 general elections with margins of approximately 58% to Johnson's roughly 41%.
Her recent posts continue a pattern of public opposition to former President Trump’s approach toward labor relations and domestic security measures.
