John,



It was another productive week standing up for life, fairness, and the rule of
law. I worked to protect pregnancy resource centers, defend women’s sports, and
support ICE agents doing dangerous and necessary work. Here are the highlights
from the week.



Wednesday night, a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent was ambushed
and violently attacked while carrying out a lawful enforcement stop, proving
once again how dangerous this job has become. Federal officials reported the
agent was attempting to arrest a man who illegally entered the United States
from Venezuela when the suspect tried to flee and then, along with two others,
physically assaulted the officer with a snow shovel and a broom handle. The
attack was so severe that the agent fired a defensive shot to protect his life.
All three men involved in the assault were in the country illegally. This
incident is what happens when politicians and activists treat ICE as the enemy
instead of the criminals they are trying to remove from our communities. Our
federal officers deserve respect and full support as they enforce the law.
Violence against ICE agents must be condemned clearly and completely, and
reckless sanctuary policies that encourage defiance of federal law must end.



I was proud to see the House Ways and Means Committee advance my legislation,
theSupporting Pregnant and Parenting Women Act, to protect pregnancy resource
centers from being targeted and discriminated against by Washington
bureaucrats. By passing out of the Ways and Means Committee, the bill has
officially completed the committee process and is now eligible for a vote
before the full House of Representatives. Pregnancy resource centers stand on
the front lines of the pro-life movement, offering real help—counseling,
prenatal support, diapers, formula, housing assistance, and hope—to women and
families choosing life for their children. Yet the Biden administration tried
to block them from receiving Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF)
funding because they do not promote abortion. My bill pushes against that bias
and ensures federal policy remains neutral and fair, so states can partner with
organizations that defend both mothers and unborn babies. Being pro-life means
walking alongside women before and after birth with compassion and practical
support. This legislation protects that mission and ensures future
administrations cannot undermine the life-supporting work pregnancy centers do
every day.



This week the U.S. Supreme Court heard arguments in cases challenging state
laws that protect women’s and girls’ sports, and the Court appears poised to
uphold those protections. This is good news for fairness, safety, and basic
biological reality. Allowing biological males to compete in women’s athletics
is fundamentally unfair to female athletes. It is unsafe in contact sports
where size and strength differences matter. And it defies common sense and
basic science to pretend there are no physical differences between men and
women. These laws simply recognize what Americans have always known: that
women’s sports exist to give girls equal opportunity, not to take it away. I
have backed that principle in Congress every step of the way, proudly voting
for theProtection of Women and Girls in Sports Act and voting for earlier
versions of the legislation to ensure Title IX protects women’s athletics for
biological females. I will continue to stand up against radical policies that
sacrifice truth and fairness on the altar of political correctness.


As always, thank you for your continued trust and support. Don’t hesitate to
reach out if you have any questions or need assistance with anything.



With gratitude,
