Congressman Gabe Evans, the only Latino member of Colorado’s congressional delegation, addressed his Hispanic constituents in a series of social media posts between February 14 and February 16, 2026. In his messages, Evans emphasized the focus of immigration enforcement and extended reassurance to law-abiding families.
Two days later, on February 16, he reiterated this message in Spanish: “Como el único latino en la delegación congresional de Colorado, quiero hablar directamente con mi comunidad hispana: si usted está cumpliendo la ley, no tiene por qué vivir con miedo. La aplicación de la ley migratoria está enfocada en delincuentes — no en las familias https://t.co/V4DR8cvsbs”
Also on February 16, Evans recognized Presidents’ Day with a separate post: “Today we honor the presidents who defended liberty, strengthened our nation, and inspired generations of Americans. Happy Presidents’ Day. https://t.co/eKMiZKfQFq”
Evans’ statements come amid ongoing national discussions about immigration policy and enforcement priorities. As a member of Congress representing Colorado and its diverse communities, Evans has sought to clarify that current federal immigration enforcement efforts prioritize individuals involved in criminal activity rather than targeting families who comply with the law.
