Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett, representing Texas' 30th district since 2023, recently addressed concerns regarding federal immigration enforcement and policy changes by the Trump administration through a series of tweets. These messages highlighted her apprehensions about mass detentions and potential impacts on public services in Texas.
On January 28, 2025, Congresswoman Crockett expressed concern over ICE's recent actions. She stated, "ICE reporting federal agents detained 84 people of 'varying degrees of criminality,' is simply code for a blanket attempt at mass detentions and raids in our community." She emphasized the need for transparency, urging that "We deserve to know who is being detained and why!"
Later that day, she addressed potential repercussions of President Trump's policies on Texas' public services. At 17:25 UTC, she tweeted, "Trump needs to reverse this immediately. It'll wreak havoc on TX hospitals, schools, police, food banks, & emergency responders that depend on federal grants." Congresswoman Crockett invited affected organizations within her district to contact her office.
In a subsequent tweet at 21:42 UTC the same day, she warned about broader consequences if these policies were not reversed. She stated that "If Trump doesn't reverse course, millions could lose healthcare, food assistance, childcare, and even emergency services." Reports indicated shutdowns of Medicaid portals and frozen childcare funds as part of these developments.
