Congresswoman Laura Gillen has recently used her social media platform to highlight legislative progress and resources for U.S. citizens abroad. On March 23, 2026, Gillen announced bipartisan efforts in technological advancement, stating, “Today, I’m proud to be joined by my Senate colleagues as we advance my bipartisan legislation positioning the U.S. as a global leader in quantum computing, AI and technological innovation. This critical bill will strengthen Long Island’s leadership in quantum technologies.”
The following day, March 24, 2026, she addressed support for Americans in Israel after recent State Department actions: “After calling on @SecRubio to reopen the State Department’s Crisis Intake form for U.S. citizens in Israel, the Department has now done just that! This critical resource should have never been closed in the first place, and I’m glad Americans have better access to the support”.
Later that same day, Gillen shared information about transportation options for those seeking to return from Israel: “NOTICE: If you or someone you know is trying to return home to the U.S. from Israel, the State Department is offering bus transport to Queen Alia International Airport (Amman). “
Quantum computing and artificial intelligence are areas of growing investment by both public and private sectors globally. Efforts like those led by Congresswoman Gillen aim to ensure continued American competitiveness in these fields.
During periods of instability or crisis abroad, the U.S. State Department often provides assistance such as evacuation routes or intake forms for citizens seeking help returning home.
