Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett, representing Texas' 30th district in the U.S. Congress, has expressed her views on recent political developments through a series of tweets. Known for her active engagement in legislative matters and advocacy for civil rights, Crockett's comments highlight her concerns about policies affecting public safety and constitutional rights.

On January 21, 2025, Crockett criticized former President Donald Trump's actions regarding law enforcement and immigration. She stated: "Trump is freeing armed, violent, gun-wielding thugs onto our streets and detaining migrant families whose only 'crime' is where they were born." She questioned how these actions contribute to national safety.

Later that day, she announced her new role within the Oversight Committee. At 21:38 UTC on January 21, she tweeted: "Honored to be selected as Vice Ranking Member of @OversightDems with my friend Rep. @GerryConnolly." Crockett emphasized their commitment to scrutinizing Trump's authority and defending citizens' rights.

In another tweet posted on January 22 at 00:19 UTC, Crockett addressed an executive order concerning birthright citizenship. She wrote: "Trump's 'Ending Birthright Citizenship' order violates the 14th Amendment by stripping citizenship from people with non-citizen parents." She warned of potential consequences such as family separations and increased scrutiny by immigration authorities.
