Andy Biggs, R-Ariz., on Tuesday criticized what he described as "unacceptable" restrictions on Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), accusing the Biden administration of seeking to dismantle interior enforcement with rules that limits arrests and deportations.

"Limiting enforcement of immigration law is an affront to the rule of law and an insult to the American people and the millions of immigrants who have come to our country...

Biden releasing 1000's of illegals into the country, after apprehension at the border, is effectively aiding the drug cartel business, says Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ), explaining that the Biden government is functioning as a “logistics” arm for cartels, criminal organizations that operate at illegal entryways into the US from Mexico. “..... it’s how to move product from the depot to delivery. Before Biden, you'd hire the cartel which subcontracted to the coyote, who was either an employee or a subcontractor; that coyote’s jobs was to deliver the product, a human being, trafficked over the border.” The Arizona congressman detailed a...

On Thursday, House Representative Andy Biggs of Arizona introduced a bill called the No Vaccine Passports Act to Congress that would ban federal agencies from issuing vaccine passports documenting a person's COVID-19 vaccine status. In a statement issued by Congressman Biggs, he said that we was "profoundly disturbed" at the considerations, and called them an invasion of privacy. "I am profoundly disturbed that the Biden Administration would even consider imposing vaccine passports on the American people. My private healthcare decisions—and yours—are nobody else’s business. Vaccine passports will not help our nation recover from COVID-19; instead, they will simply impose more...

The House Freedom Caucus continues to fight the onslaught of Democrat bills that pose an existential threat to America. The Leftists among the Democrats have attacked and continue to go after every fundamental right guaranteed by the Constitution and have even changed the rules of the U.S. House of Representatives. The HFC has spent the last month using the few remaining procedural tools to try and slow the Leftist agenda. For instance, one of our members, Marjorie Taylor Greene, made multiple motions to adjourn the body in order to slow down a bill that spent $2 trillion. For that bill...

Why is he asking William Barr of all people for information about an ongoing investigation? Barr hasn't even been conducting the investigation. Bigg's request suggests to me that he's hoping Barr will make another broad public-fooling statement about inclusive findings relating to an investigation that he hasn't even been conducting.

The fierce beast of the Left, the omnivorous viper of the Democrats, has been let loose. Every tyrant needs quislings. Unfortunately, there are appeasers even among Republicans. The 'useful idiots' of the Left are being eaten already; the appeasers will be next. Those who demand grace from Trump supporters as we watch the nation stolen from us, deny the peril from a ravenous beast that will consume our freedoms and chain the American people. The piranhas are already nibbling at Nancy Pelosi, who is suffering from whiplash from the hard, left turn she took when she was reinstalled as Speaker...

Andy Biggs, R-Ariz., said in an op-ed Thursday that the coronavirus lockdown recommendations of Dr. Anthony Fauci have “emasculated” the health care system and “ruined” the economy. “Fauci and company have relied on models that were later found to be deficient.

In a letter sent to President Trump on Wednesday, the lawmakers praised the White House’s decision to limit the number of immigrants coming into the country during the health crisis, but argued more action needs to be taken to ensure Americans who have lost their jobs due to the outbreak have ample opportunities to find new employment. “We should not force Americans to compete with foreign nationals while...

Anthony Fauci looks to be skating on thin ice with President Trump, despite — or perhaps because of — a growing sense that he is the most trusted expert on the coronavirus crisis. The White House moved on Monday to squash suggestions that Fauci could be ousted from the president’s task force on the crisis. And Fauci himself sought to shore up his position during the White House press briefing, when he walked back remarks he had made at the weekend. During a CNN interview on Sunday, Fauci had suggested that mitigation measures would have been more effective had they...

Before the holidays, if you remember, the House of Representatives voted to impeach the president on abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. The vote came months after a whistleblower complaint that alleged Trump tried to use the power of the presidency to coerce Ukraine to investigate the Bidens for his own political interests. President Trump and his associates maintain his request was not politically motivated and that he wanted to root out corruption. According to a few Republican lawmakers, the campaign against the president was a sleazy, sleazy process. And the main culprit, they alleged , is House Speaker...

When a few Republicans on the panel noted those words were not in the transcript, Schiff clarified that his summary was meant as "parody." That...
