Lou Correa, a U.S. Congressman representing California's 46th district, has recently expressed his support for DACA recipients and Dreamers through a series of tweets. Correa, who succeeded Loretta Sánchez in 2017, has a history of public service in various governmental roles within California.

On March 3, 2025, Correa tweeted about the contributions of DACA recipients and Dreamers to American society. He stated, "DACA recipients and Dreamers were brought to America as young children. They follow the law, pay taxes, and serve our communities." He highlighted individuals like Dr. Lopez and Officer Soto-Rodriguez as examples of those deserving citizenship to pursue their American Dream.

Later that day, Correa extended gratitude towards advocates supporting the reintroduction of the American Dream and Promise Act. In his tweet on March 3, he acknowledged Kathleen Martinez and others by saying, "A big thank you to @thepinklawyer Kathleen Martinez and other advocates who showed up last week as we reintroduced the American Dream and Promise Act." He emphasized the need for a pathway to permanent status for millions of DACA recipients nationwide.

On March 4, Correa introduced Chief Robert Rodriguez as his guest at President Trump's Address to Congress. Highlighting Rodriguez's story as an example of how Dreamers contribute to communities, Correa tweeted: "I’m proud to introduce my guest to President Trump's Address to Congress: @SantaAnaPD Chief Robert Rodriguez." Rodriguez is noted for being a Marine veteran and formerly undocumented migrant.
