[Acting Deputy Attorney General Trent McCotter @PADAGMcCotter]

@USAttyReitz @SenBlumenthal The First Amendment expressly prohibits Congress from infringing the speech and association rights of Americans. DOJ will defend against threats to those rights, period.

[U.S. Attorney Aaron Reitz @USAttyReitz]

After the election, @SenBlumenthal & his allies think they can intimidate Americans for their constitutionally protected associations w/ President Trump.

Congress is not a weapon to be wielded against the American people.

I'm taking the first step to stop this abuse of power.

[Secretary Markwayne Mullin @SecMullinDHS]

No matter how much sanctuary politicians try to obstruct us, the patriots of @ICEGov will keep doing their jobs by arresting and deporting criminal illegal aliens.

In the city of Austin, Texas, ICE has arrested murderers, rapists, and arsonists.

Sanctuary politicians are failing their constituents by limiting cooperation with ICE. When state, local, and federal partners work together to remove illegal aliens like these, everyone is better off. 🧵

A new cast of soft-on-crime politicians will soon take power.

My mission doesn’t change: protect the 10 million people of the Southern District of Texas, uphold the rule of law, do justice, and restore order on our streets and at the border.

Two more years. Buckle up.

[DOJ Rapid Response @DOJRR47]

The Justice Department’s election monitors are public servants doing a job the Department has done for decades: making sure that every eligible American can cast a ballot free from intimidation and discrimination. Publishing their personal information to harass or threaten them is an attempt to frighten federal employees out of doing their jobs. Our monitors will continue their work on Election Day to make sure every eligible voter is able to cast their ballot.

[Secretary Markwayne Mullin @SecMullinDHS]

If you vote illegally in this country, and you are NOT eligible to vote, @DHSgov will find you, hunt you down, and you will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Only American citizens should be deciding American elections.

[U.S. Department of Justice @TheJusticeDept]

My statement regarding Harris County District Attorney Sean Teare's indictment against our Houston @ICEgov Agent:

[U.S. Attorney Aaron Reitz @USAttyReitz]

My office @USAO_SDTX spans nearly the entire of the Gulf Coast and all the major ports.

We’re on it.

[NewsNation @NewsNation]

The U.S. Border Patrol and other federal immigration agencies are focusing their attention on Texas' eastern border as Mexican drug cartels look to exploit maritime areas of the state.
NewsNation's @AliBradleyTV got an exclusive look at how the Border Patrol is shifting part of its approach away from traditional border areas to coastal regions. More: https://t.co/1hYSmVkKQe

[U.S. Attorney Aaron Reitz @USAttyReitz]

I'm charging five foreigners for illegally voting in federal elections.

U.S. elections should be free, fair, honest, and legal—and FOR AMERICANS ONLY.

The process deserves 100% confidence of the American people. My office is doing its part to secure the ballot box!

[U.S. Attorney Aaron Reitz @USAttyReitz]

Incredibly proud of @USAO_SDTX’s three Assistant U.S. Attorneys for receiving this year’s Director’s Awards at Main Justice for excellence in criminal and appellate law!

- Devin Walker
- Amy Alaniz
- Rett Bahry

These lawyers reflect the best of @TheJusticeDept. Outstanding!

[U.S. Attorney Aaron Reitz @USAttyReitz]

This happened in my district. @60Minutes is reporting fake news.

As @DHSgov and @ICEgov have already made clear, this guy was not a “Texas father.” He’s an illegal alien whose very existence on American soil violated federal law every second of every day for 25 years.

Don’t want to get caught up in the government’s fully legal third-country removal policy? Don’t be here in the first place. Easy.

We are a nation of LAWS. Follow them, and life is good. Break them, and life is bad.

And hey @Uber: why are you allowing illegal aliens with orders of removal to drive on your platform?

[60 Minutes @60Minutes]

A Texas father who had lived in the U.S. for 25 years with no criminal record was finishing his night shift as an Uber driver when immigration agents detained him.

Without being able to speak to his lawyer or a judge, he was put on a plane and sent first to Ghana, a country where he had no ties. He was then sent to his home country, despite a determination by a U.S. immigration court judge that he could not be deported there due to likely persecution. https://t.co/2vMsbrSmr9

I got a letter from a Senator who’s very upset that my office is determined to secure our elections. My response 👇

[Colin M. McDonald @AAGMcDonald]

110 months and 80 months in prison for husband-wife Medicare fraud duo. 👇

[U.S. Attorney Aaron Reitz @USAttyReitz]

Absolutely love to see it.

[U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement @ICEgov]

We are arresting about 100 illegal aliens a day in Houston, Texas.

Past Administrations failed you, the American people.

President Trump will not.
