I’ve spent the last year working with USCIS to root out and terminate H-1B abuses.

We've worked together to expose how the Left weaponized H-1Bs into a DEI fraud factory.

We're shutting it down. Here's the most recent data. 🧵 Image
Image
Last September, I demanded answers on H-1B visas for DEI roles.

This was after roles like these came to light:

“Associate Dean of Diversity, Inclusion, Climate & Equity” (Carnegie Mellon)

“Diversity & Inclusion Specialists” (Yale New Haven Health)

“Program Manager, Diversity, Equity & Inclusion” (Dartmouth) Image
Image
Image
USCIS confirmed: In FY2021–FY2024, ~100 H-1B petitions for DEI-related positions with titles referencing “diversity,” “equity,” “inclusion” etc.

They attached the full shocking list.
Just a few approved titles:

- Head of Gender Justice and Inclusion
- Chief Diversity Officer
- Associate Dean of DEI
- Talent Management DEI Specialist
- Critical Race Studies and Social Justice Professor
- Global Birth Equity Director Image
Image
Image
Image
This is just a few of the dozens of other “DEI Specialist” & “Equity Advisor” roles.

The list goes on and on. Image
Image
Image
Image
Many at taxpayer-funded universities & hospitals.

H-1B legal costs could’ve funded American research or American scholarships, instead these taxpayer funded outfits imported foreign ideologues to subvert Americans.
H-1B was meant for real hyper-specialized job shortages, not HR woke enforcers or “social justice” managers.

Biden’s USCIS/DOL rubber-stamped these anyway. Subverting America's youth and demoralizing our populace for its mere existence.

This whole system is unsalvageable.
All of this is just the tip of the iceberg.

Most of these jobs are hidden from public eye.

These are only the most public and brazen examples. The H1-B system is long beyond repair.
The good news? The Trump Administration's stellar work continues to show a sharp decrease in H-1B Visas granted, with even more to come.

No more importing DEI bureaucrats to enforce woke ideology here on the backs of taxpayers.

America First means American jobs first. Image

Virginia's map just got struck down. Is California next?

California's "mapmaker" drew its new maps to "ensure" that racially gerrymandered "VRA seats are bolstered in order to make them most effective." That's illegal under Callais.

@AAGDhillon: Here's how we can do it. 🧵 Image
California state law requires an "independent" Commission to draw its district maps.

But Newsom and state Legislature Dems overrode the Commission last year to gerrymander.

That meant hiring a "mapmaker"—Paul Mitchell—to do it.

But he drew an illegal racial gerrymander. Image
Image
Before SCOTUS's recent Callais decision, courts interpreted the VRA to effectively *require* racial quotas in gerrymandering.

As Justice Thomas explained, that was “repugnant to any nation that strives for the ideal of a color-blind Constitution.” Image

H-1B fraud is a scam on American workers.

I just received the official USCIS FY2025 H-1B report. Over 406,348 approvals.

What I found is a flood of foreign labor. Sovereignty, security, and basic morality be damned. 🧵 Image
62% of all H-1B approvals? Tech-related occupations.

Over 252,000. Over 60% of ALL approvals were for tech and IT roles Americans already fill.

Big Tech uses this program to import cheap replacements while laying off U.S. workers. Disgraceful. Image
Image
While Washington pats themselves on the back, American workers are told to “upskill” or get replaced by H-1B hires.

The entire system is designed to let companies take advantage of the law.

While American grads and workers pay the price.

Today—as Chairman of the Subcommittee on the Constitution—I urged @DAGToddBlanche and @AAGDhillon to act on the Supreme Court’s ruling in Louisiana v. Callais.

DOJ has the power to enforce this decision nationwide and must use it to end illegal racially-gerrymandered districts. Image
My Subcommittee has oversight responsibility for constitutional rights, civil-rights enforcement, and DOJ's Civil Rights Division.

We are going to use it.

It's time to enforce our laws and our color-blind Constitution. We must undo prior race-based actions.
The Supreme Court has now made clear: "Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act . . . was designed to enforce the Constitution—not collide with it."

That means DOJ cannot keep treating Section 2 as a license to force States to sort Americans into districts by race. Image

What I've found is staggering.

46,547 OPT workers. 19,285 employers.

New OPT data from California was provided to my office.🧵 Image
Remember, OPT lets foreign students work in jobs directly related to their college major.

STEM gets UP TO 3 YEARS. Employers skip taxes—a 15%+ subsidy.

Cheap foreign labor on steroids, while Americans bear the cost of their own replacement.
This is a jobs heist. While American grads scramble, foreigners flood in. Image

Today, I am chairing a hearing that will expose how Arctic Frost became the backbone of a sweeping lawfare campaign against President Trump and the American Right.

This was coordinated pressure campaign against an entire political movement.

Americans demand accountability. 🧵 Image
The hearing will focus on how Arctic Frost turned into a dragnet reaching President Trump, his lawyers, former officials, Republican organizations, conservative institutions, communications records, and Members of Congress.

That is raw use of unchecked state power.
The Committee will examine new documents showing Jack Smith prosecutors discussing how to obtain information involving Republican Members of Congress.

One message discussed whether they could “get the cloud, not notify, and do the search without consulting the member.” Image

"The pursuit of this improper investigation is a clear abuse of discretion." Judge Boasberg just got slapped down...again.

The walls are closing in on his crusade to jail Trump officials for DEPORTING Venezualan terrorists.

It's clear: time to impeach Rogue Judge Boasberg. 🧵 Image
Image
To review: last March, Judge Boasberg forced himself onto the "turn the planes around" case—just a few days after trying to foment a constitutional crisis at a Judicial Conference meeting.

He has spent the past year trying to jail prosecutors and cabinet Secretaries. Image
Today, the D.C. Circuit issued an opinion, once again, in the appeal on Boasberg's attempt (extrajurisdictionally) to hold officials in contempt.

The Court found Boasberg's "inquest" was both wrong on the law and a violation of our Separation of Powers.

Let's break it down. Image
