President Trump is using every enforcement tool at his disposal to remove illegal aliens from our country.

Last week, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) announced the agency has identified 6,300 illegal aliens who were paroled into the United States since 2023 under the Biden-Harris Administration — despite having criminal records or being on the FBI’s Terrorist Screening Center watchlist.

Alarmingly, the Trump Administration confirmed that hundreds of these violent illegals were collecting costly government benefits. In fact, 905 were collecting Medicaid, 41 were gathering unemployment insurance, and 22 received federal student loans.

Folks, not a single illegal alien should receive government benefits of any kind. This serves as a powerful reminder that exposing and eliminating waste, fraud, and abuse in federal programs must be a top priority. 

Thankfully, President Trump revoked parole status from these dangerous illegal aliens and stripped them of taxpayer-funded benefits. For example, the Trump Administration placed the names of these illegals on the Social Security Administration’s “death master file,” which has since been renamed the “ineligible master file.”

The White House confirmed the move aims to encourage these illegal aliens to self-deport. After all, the Biden-Harris Administration weaponized parole to flood our country with unvetted illegals, who then had a monetary incentive to stay here after receiving Social Security numbers to work.

It’s simple: removing government benefits that Joe Biden provided to illegal aliens is key to forcing self-deportations. Yet if illegals refuse, there’s always another option.

President Trump continues to deport illegal aliens from our communities, proving America is no longer a safe haven for anyone who unlawfully enters our country and harms U.S. citizens.

On Monday, President Trump hosted El Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele at the White House to showcase their incredible partnership to make our nations safe. Thanks to their leadership, violent criminal illegal aliens, including murderers, rapists, and gang members, have been taken off our streets and deported to El Salvador.

From incentivizing self-deportations to carrying out mass deportations, President Trump is successfully using his executive authority to protect you and your family — delivering on his promise to make America safe again.

I want to hear from you!

Last Week’s Results:

80% support President Trump's goal to achieve both free and fair trade.

As you may know, President Trump announced last week that he’s raising tariffs on China and implementing a 90-day pause on reciprocal tariffs for other countries.

On the new “From Combat to Congress,” I discuss the critical legislation we passed in the House last week with my support, including the SAVE Act and the Senate-amended budget resolution.

Last year, the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) transitioned and consolidated local Processing & Distribution Centers across North Georgia to the Regional Processing & Distribution Center in Palmetto, Georgia. As you know all too well, the agency’s poor planning and mishandling of this transition has extensively disrupted mail delivery operations throughout the region. In response, I led letters requesting the Postal Service to audit and investigate this transition, as well as demanding that then-USPS Postmaster General Louis DeJoy fulfill his legal obligation to seek an advisory opinion from the Postal Regulatory Commission (PRC) for the agency’s consolidation process in the Peach State.

Undoubtedly, the U.S. Postal Service’s botched transition and consolidation operation in North Georgia highlights the dire need for oversight reform. If the USPS had fulfilled its legal obligation to seek an advisory opinion from the Postal Regulatory Commission, I believe Georgians would not have been forced to bear the loss of revenue, immense pain, and hardships brought on by mail delays caused by the disastrous transition.

Therefore, I recently introduced the Postal Service Transparency and Review Act to bolster oversight of the U.S. Postal Service’s decision-making processes. Specifically, my legislation: 

• Requires the USPS to submit significant proposed changes to the PRC for review no later than 180 days prior to the proposed effective date of such changes.
• Expands the submission requirement to include changes that impact service not only at the national level but also at the postal district level, which typically align with state boundaries.
• Authorizes the PRC to suspend any changes if the Postal Service fails to seek the required advisory opinion under the amended requirements.
• Mandates that any postal operation changes suspended by the PRC be reverted to their previous state before the implementation of the suspended changes until an advisory opinion is published.
• Allows Congress to intervene and disapprove of changes through a fast-tracked joint resolution pursuant to the Congressional Review Act after receiving the PRC’s advisory opinion.

I’m hopeful that by strengthening oversight of the Postal Service’s decision-making processes, my legislation will ultimately prevent large-scale postal service changes from negatively impacting Americans in the future.

As our North Georgia community knows, it’s imperative to be prepared for and aware of severe weather events and conditions. Rabun County does a phenomenal job in ensuring residents have the tools and resources needed ahead of severe weather, as evidenced by its recent recognition by the National Weather Service as a StormReady Community. To receive this designation, a community must implement proactive measures, such as establishing a 24-hour warning point and emergency operations center and developing a formal hazardous weather plan.

I applaud Rabun County’s Emergency Management Agency for taking critical steps to prepare and assist folks in the case of severe weather.

This week, I’ll travel across North Georgia to visit businesses to learn more about their operations and meet with local leaders to discuss ways we can work together to best serve you and your family.

Reminder: From now until April 25th, my office is accepting submissions for the 2025 Congressional Art Competition. Please find more information about the annual competition and artwork requirements here.

Additionally, as we commemorate Holy Week, may we reflect on Jesus’ unparalleled sacrifices, boundless love, and triumph over death. I look forward to celebrating the joyous resurrection of Jesus Christ with my church family on Easter Sunday, and I hope you and your family have a blessed Easter weekend. “He is not here; He has risen, just as He said” (Matthew 28:6).
