Rep. Andy Biggs, a member of the U.S. Congress representing Arizona's 5th district since 2017, shared his views on border security and immigration policies through a series of tweets on January 21, 2025. His comments reflect his stance on the Biden administration's border policies and ongoing immigration enforcement actions.

In a tweet posted at 15:57 UTC, Rep. Biggs expressed condolences for a fallen Border Patrol agent while criticizing President Biden’s border policies. He stated, "Our Border Patrol agents risk their lives every single day to protect American citizens." He further commented that "Biden’s open-border policies continue to destroy families."

Later that day, at 19:02 UTC, Rep. Biggs acknowledged recent actions by ICE teams under the direction of Border Czar Tom Homan. He quoted Homan saying that roundups of criminal illegal aliens had begun and added his gratitude towards the President and Homan with the statement "Thank you @POTUS and @RealTomHoman. Promises made, promises kept!"

At 22:07 UTC, Rep. Biggs addressed misconceptions about immigrants in another tweet. He remarked on the legal versus illegal status of immigrants by stating “The vast majority of immigrants are not criminals.” However, he emphasized that illegally crossing the border is a crime and concluded with criticism of The National Cathedral as being "woke beyond words."
