Lopez-Gomez, a U.S. citizen, was detained on his commute to work, prompting demands for immediate answers for him and his family.

Later that day, Cherfilus-McCormick addressed economic issues, criticizing the U.S. tax code for hindering economic opportunities and announcing her legislative proposal. "For far too long, the U.S. tax code has deprived Americans of economic opportunity," she tweeted, referring to her "All-Americans Tax Relief Act" aimed at helping working families achieve financial stability.

On April 19, 2025, she announced a development concerning trade exemptions. "BIG NEWS: My continued advocacy led to @USTradeRep exemptions," she revealed, emphasizing the economic benefit for 3,500 workers and businesses linked to the Port of Palm Beach. This initiative aims to mitigate economic harm for exporters and vessel owners who ship to the Caribbean.
