Dear Mr. xxxxxx,
I wanted to pass along my latest update on what I have been doing to fight for you, Texas’ 21st Congressional District, and our country as a whole:
Texas has a right to defend its citizens
The Justice Department is suing the state of Texas over a state law that would allow local authorities to arrest illegal aliens. During a Judiciary Committee hearing last week, I asked Attorney General Merrick Garland if Texas has a right to defend itself – but he avoided answering.
We the people of Texas will not wait for the President of the United States to continue to ignore the law and allow innocent Americans, like Laken Riley, to die from open borders. Texas has a right to defend itself and its citizens from Biden's border crisis. Period.
Watch my full line of questioning to Garland here.
Huge win! House passes bill to sanction the ICC
Last week, the House passed my bill to sanction the International Criminal Court (ICC) for going after our ally Israel. But let’s be clear, this isn’t just about Israel, this is about ensuring that our nation's sovereignty is protected, as well as our servicemembers. Absent decisive leadership at the White House, Congress must stand in the breach defending our allies and our sovereignty.
Demanding a reasonable criminal code
People cannot live free when government buries them under incomprehensible and never-ending criminal laws. Almost any adult in this country could be indicted for some kind of infraction at any given time, whether or not they were even aware they were in violation.
This needs to change; getting a proper inventory is a necessary first step to fixing this problem. That’s why I introduced the Count the Crimes to Cut Act of 2024 to mandate the counting of the number of federal crimes on the books.
Here are some other news stories about what I’ve been up to lately:
• Biden’s Border Executive Action Could’ve Been Signed Over Three Years Ago
• Rep. Chip Roy grills AG Garland over DOJ lawsuit against Texas to stop illegal immigrant enforcement
• House passes ICC sanctions resolution with 42 Democrats breaking from party
• Pro-Life Grandma Sentenced to 2 Years in Prison As Judge Appears to Mock Her Poor Health
• House GOP summons Alvin Bragg to a congressional hearing on 'politically motivated prosecutions of federal officials'
• Rep. Chip Roy with Sean Hannity: Biden's SHAM border executive order
• Rep. Chip Roy: Biden's border order is only because of the election
• Rep. Chip Roy: NO. Money's not going to solve the border crisis.
• Rep. Chip Roy: This is ACTUAL math

Every day, Americans are bearing the brunt of President Biden’s border chaos. Each death and every victim of his open border policies should enrage Americans – that’s why I created a weekly border update to sound the alarm on just how bad the border crisis has become.
Each one of these stories are reason enough for President Biden to be held accountable – will you help me amplify these stories to make it impossible for this administration to ignore the crisis?
