Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett, representing Texas' 30th district, has voiced her concerns on recent orders issued by former President Donald Trump through a series of tweets. These tweets address significant policy changes and their potential impacts on immigration and law enforcement in the United States.

On January 22, 2025, Congresswoman Crockett tweeted about Trump's "Ending CBP One" order, stating that it has halted the CBP One app. The app was designed to allow migrants to request appointments with immigration officers. She claims this change makes it "nearly impossible to enter the country legally," leading to "chaos at the border" and an increase in illegal border crossings. "Trump's 'Ending CBP One' order has halted the CBP One app that was created so migrants can request an appointment with an immigration officer— making it nearly impossible to enter the country legally Impacts: chaos at the border, more illegal border crossings (9/11)"

In another tweet posted on January 22, 2025, Crockett addressed Trump's "Police State Expansion" order. She described this as empowering state and local police to enforce immigration law nationwide, akin to Operation Lone Star. According to her statement, this could lead to "increased injuries and deaths resulting from police chases" and heightened crime due to redirected police resources. "Trump's 'Police State Expansion' order empowers state and local police to enforce immigration law— think Operation Lone Star on a nationwide scale. Impacts: Increased injuries and deaths resulting from police chases, increased crime as police resources are redirected (8/11)"

Additionally, Congresswoman Crockett expressed her opposition to Trump's "Ending Asylum" order in a tweet dated January 22, 2025. She argued that this action violates federal law by terminating humanitarian asylum protections. The congresswoman warned of severe consequences for refugees who may face torture or death due to their race, gender, sexual orientation, or religion under such policies. "Trump's 'Ending Asylum' order violates federal law by ending humanitarian asylum. Impacts: Refugees targeted because of their race, gender, sexual orientation, or religion could be tortured or killed. (11/11)"
