Congresswoman Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, representing Florida’s 20th district since 2022, has been vocal on various issues through her social media presence. Her recent posts highlight her active engagement with constituents and critique of current administrative policies.

On May 13, 2025, Congresswoman Cherfilus-McCormick announced that the “#FL20 mobile office is on the road!” She invited constituents to visit the mobile office for assistance with questions related to immigration or Social Security. The post emphasizes accessibility and support for local residents.

Later that day, she criticized the deportation process under the current administration as “sloppy.” In a tweet posted at 15:36 UTC, she questioned “If ICE is recklessly deporting people over autism awareness tattoos like they did in case of Neri Jose Alvarado Borges — without any form of due process — where will they draw the line next?” She expressed concern about potential future actions by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

In another tweet on May 13, posted at 16:41 UTC, Congresswoman Cherfilus-McCormick addressed proposed Medicaid cuts by Republicans. She stated that such cuts would result in nearly “14 MILLION Americans losing health care.” She warned of hospital closures and reductions in critical care services, arguing against what she described as “recklessness.”

Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick has served in the U.S. Congress since replacing Alcee Hastings in 2022. Born in Brooklyn in 1979 and currently residing in Miramar, she holds degrees from Howard University and St. Thomas University.
