Higgins, Freedom Caucus Board Urge President Trump to Continue Federal Immigration Enforcement

Washington, D.C. - Congressman Clay Higgins (R-LA) and the other members of the House Freedom Caucus (HFC) Board of Directors sent a letter to President Trump, urging him to maintain Operation Metro Surge and nationwide efforts to enforce federal immigration law.

The letter encourages President Trump to:

  1. Maintain immigration enforcement in Minneapolis and nationwide.
  2. Use all tools necessary-even the Insurrection Act-to secure the order necessary for the law to be enforced.
  3. End funding for Sanctuary Cities.
  4. Ensure the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is fully funded.


The HFC Board Members wrote: "All Americans have the right to protest - including their right to speech and to bear arms consistent with our laws - but there is no right to thwart federal, state, or local law enforcement and the state of order among our citizens. The coordinated effort to stop law enforcement by politicians in Minnesota and around the country has caused chaos, and led to the tragic deaths of two Americans in Minnesota. It must end."

"We support you in standing up for the average hardworking American who wants to restore law and order, preserve our nation, defend common sense, and remove the millions of violent criminal illegal aliens endangering our communities," the HFC Board Members continued.
