His text reads: EXCLUSIVE WITH PHOENIX ICE TODAY: Illegal alien with final order of removal who has absconded from #ICE found out the hard way when he was caught today in Phoenix, Arizona and failed to comply.

Public service announcement; if you're ordered deported, it's time to go. Don't listen to the liberal activists who are giving terrible advice. Follow the law or you will be subject to the consequences. This guy is getting a one-way ticket back to his home in Ecuador. If you'd like that plus a little bit of cash in your pocket andโ€ฆ

Weโ€™re going all night. The House has been voting since 6:30 pm (after debating since 10:30 am). A little while ago Republicans added another 75 bills to the third read agenda so just 156 more to go! None of these are Democratic bill, btw, and a good chunk were vetoed last session.

Tonight, the President is going to lie to you.

Heโ€™ll say costs are down. Health care is affordable. The border is fixed. But we know the truth. Families across this country are suffering. And it didnโ€™t happen by accident.

We heard a lot tonight about Washington politics.

Here in LD27, families are focused on lowering costs, strengthening public schools, & making government work for everyday people โ€” not party insiders.

Thatโ€™s the leadership Iโ€™m running to bring to the Arizona Senate.

We deserve results, not noise.
