Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett, representing Texas' 30th district in the U.S. Congress, recently took to social media to share her views on immigration and legislative issues. Her posts address key topics discussed in the House Judiciary Committee and her stance on specific legislative proposals.

On January 22, 2025, Crockett engaged with the topic of former President Donald Trump's statements on immigration during a session of the House Judiciary Committee. She stated, "Today in @HouseJudiciary I played a little game with Donald Trump's lies on immigration: Rhetoric or Reality? Let's all play along!" This post indicates her approach to examining political rhetoric versus factual realities.

Later that day, at 19:34 UTC, Crockett urged followers to remain vigilant about political developments. She wrote, "PAY ATTENTION! If OUR country was not in the process of moving forward, THEY wouldn’t be working so hard to take us back." This tweet suggests concern over efforts she perceives as regressive.

In another post at 22:34 UTC on the same day, Crockett expressed her opposition to HR 29, a bill related to border security and immigration detention. She explained her position by stating that "HR 29 DOESN'T secure our border. What it DOES do is subject people who have been arrested—even if never CHARGED OR CONVICTED—to mandatory immigration detention." She further elaborated that this could lead to the detention of individuals falsely accused of minor offenses, including children. Consequently, she declared her intention to vote against the bill.
