Jasmine Crockett U.S. House of Representatives from Texas's 30th district | Official U.S. House Headshot
Jasmine Crockett, a U.S. Congresswoman serving Texas’ 30th district since 2023, took to social media with a series of tweets addressing immigration actions and legal developments. Crockett, who previously served in the Texas House of Representatives, is vocal about immigration issues, critiquing current actions and legal frameworks.
On April 18, 2025, Crockett highlighted a situation involving the Dallas Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) office, stating: "The Dallas ICE office is involved in a mass removal effort targeting nearly 200 people — many without removal orders — scheduled to be deported to El Salvador today. This is not just cruel – it is lawless. I refuse to stay quiet while families are being torn apart, and lives." Crockett's remarks reflect her concern over the impact of these deportations on families and communities.
The following day, Crockett addressed a legal intervention by the Supreme Court, writing on April 19, 2025, "Overnight, the Supreme Court blocked the Trump admin from deporting Venezuelans out of the Bluebonnet facility in TX — for now. The Alien Enemies Act of 1798 has NO place in modern immigration policy. This pause is a win, but the fight is far from over. And yes — Thomas & Alito." Here, Crockett applauds the decision as a temporary relief while criticizing the reliance on historical legal precedents.
In a subsequent tweet on the same day, she expressed satisfaction with the Supreme Court's decision to halt a deportation flight: "I’m glad the Supreme Court stepped in and stopped that plane from taking off last night. Because deporting folks with no criminal record and no due process isn’t justice—it’s cruelty. And let’s talk about the real kicker: The same Republicans pushing this mess are following a." Crockett underlines issues with deporting individuals lacking criminal records or due process, which she deems as unjust.
Crockett, a Rhodes College and University of Houston Law Center alumna, was born in St. Louis, Missouri in 1981, and currently resides in Dallas.
