She advocates for humane border policies, oversight of ICE/CBP, and opposes funding a border wall absent comprehensive immigration reform. Chu has sponsored and reintroduced legislation to protect immigrant families and provide deportation relief for vulnerable communities.
Abortion & Reproductive Rights
Judy Chu supports broad abortion access and has repeatedly sponsored and reintroduced the Women’s Health Protection Act to establish a federal right to abortion; she describes abortion care as health care and reproductive rights as human rights. She has publicly advocated for codifying Roe-era protections into federal law and has taken part in abortion-rights actions and congressional efforts to protect access.

News
Judy Chu is in the news because of her past association with Eileen Wang, who resigned after admitting she acted as an illegal Chinese agent. Chu had previously honored Wang as a Woman of the Year, and she has since removed Wang from an endorsement page. The reporting centers on that connection as Chu seeks reelection in California's 28th District.
