Congresswoman Laura Gillen has recently addressed several issues on her official Twitter account, ranging from federal agency leadership to local advocacy and support for first responders.

On March 24, 2026, Gillen commented on the Department of Homeland Security’s current state following former Secretary Noem’s tenure. She wrote, “Homeland Security Secretary Mullin must restore order at DHS after Noem’s disastrous and deadly tenure. That includes undoing her horrible legacy and ensuring ICE reforms are properly enacted. Read my op-ed on this urgent issue here https://t.co/y1jQ0ASRyd https://t.co/PQW1lV9jzt”.

Later that day, Gillen highlighted her meeting with a local civic group. On March 24, 2026, she posted, “It was a pleasure to meet with the Nassau Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority during their national lobbying day on Capitol Hill. @Nassau_Alumnae Their advocacy is vital for working Long Islanders, from supporting voting rights to affordable housing and equal access https://t.co/k9EeFJ6mX6”.

On March 25, 2026, Gillen expressed gratitude toward New York’s volunteer firefighters and underscored the importance of providing them with adequate resources.
