On March 29, 2025, Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib extended her Eid greetings by writing, "Eid Mubarak to all celebrating! While we gather with loved ones, we hold in our hearts those facing violence and oppression. May this Eid bring peace, justice, and freedom for all." The tweet was a call for unity and peace amidst celebrations, emphasizing the importance of considering those affected by global conflicts.

In a tweet on March 31, 2025, Tlaib expressed her stance on immigration and labor rights. She stated that "Trump's war on immigrants is a war on workers. Whether by deportation or executive order, our labor rights are under attack. We must organize and fight back. Free Lelo." This message highlights her opposition to policies she views as detrimental to workers' rights and her commitment to advocating for immigrant communities.

Later that day, Congresswoman Tlaib announced her legislative initiative by joining Rep. Jayapal to introduce House versions of Senator Sanders' JRDs aiming to block weapon sales to Israel. She wrote, "Joining Rep. Jayapal to introduce House versions of Sen. Sanders' JRDs to block the sale of new bombs and weapons to the Israeli government. With Netanyahu violating the ceasefire in Gaza and resuming the genocidal bombing campaign, we need to save lives and stop the killing." This tweet showcases her advocacy for international peace and her stance against military actions in specific regions.
