Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman, currently representing New Jersey's 12th district in the U.S. Congress, posted a series of tweets expressing severe criticism towards certain actions of the Trump Administration regarding the handling of migrants. Watson Coleman, who has been serving in Congress since 2015, took to the social media platform to voice her concerns about what she describes as a serious breach of constitutional principles.

On April 7, 2025, Rep. Watson Coleman tweeted about the situation involving 238 migrants. She stated, "This is unconscionable: 75% of the 238 migrants the Trump Administration disappeared to a torture prison in El Salvador have no criminal record. This is criminal. This is illegal. This is a Constitutional crisis." The message highlights her condemnation of actions she perceives as a severe violation of human rights and legal norms.

Another tweet by Watson Coleman on the same day included a link, but no additional commentary. https://t.co/F4sRJa644s, posted at 18:30:55 UTC, suggests a reference or connection to a related subject matter.

On April 8, 2025, the congresswoman expanded her critique to a broader context regarding due process. She declared, "If the government can deny any group in this country their right to due process, they can deny it to everyone. This is the gravest threat to individual liberty and the rule of law in the history of this country. Do not be complacent. Stand up. Speak out." This message underscores her call to defend civil liberties and the judicial system's integrity.
