Rosa DeLauro, a long-serving member of the U.S. Congress representing Connecticut’s 3rd district since 1991, recently expressed her concerns through social media about recent federal actions in California. DeLauro replaced Bruce Morrison in 1991 and has been a prominent figure in Congress for over three decades.
On June 13, 2025, Rosa DeLauro posted a statement regarding President Trump’s decision to take control of the California National Guard and deploy military forces into Los Angeles. She described this action as “a deliberate move to escalate tensions when local law enforcement had stated they did not require assistance.” (source)
Later that day, she commented on an incident involving California’s U.S. Senator Alex Padilla during a press conference held by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. She criticized the use of force against Senator Padilla when he attempted to ask questions, stating it was “the opposite of everything America stands for.” (source)
In another post on the same day, DeLauro made a remark suggesting potential ulterior motives behind these actions: “Maybe they’re just itching for a free ride on the jet.” (source)
DeLauro, born in New Haven, Connecticut in 1943 and currently residing there at age 80, graduated from Marymount College with a BA in 1964.
