Mohsen Mahdawi, a 34 year old at Columbia University who spent 15 YEARS as an undergrad student, is on his way to being deported back to his native Jordan.

These "forever students" show a MASSIVE loophole in our system. 🧵
Foreign nationals on F-1 visas staying enrolled 15-25+ years to live here indefinitely.

Thousands of foreign "students" who entered 2000-2010 STILL have active F-1 status as of 2025.

This is ridiculous and must end.

Victory. No more taxpayer-backed home loans for illegal aliens.

This is one of those things you can't believe was actually happening.

American citizens are struggling to buy homes while mass migration drives up prices and strains the housing supply. 🧵 Mass migration is driving up home prices: HUD report shows foreign-born residents fueled over half of owner-occupied housing growth in CA & NY, spiking costs for American buyers.

This move by @SecretaryTurner ends American taxpayers paying for housing for illegals.

Authorities busted a massive fake-degree racket: 100k+ counterfeit certificates seized from 28 “universities” in India.

One mill sold 36k fakes for as little as $1,400 each.

This would violate 18 USC 1546(a). It's time to prosecute those who broke the law. 🧵 India takes ~70% of H-1B filings. H-1B requires a real specialty degree.

Fake the credential = fraudulent visa from day one.

It's alleged that up to 90% of those Indian visas are fraudulent. American workers are displaced by paper mills instead of proven talent.

The Trump Administration just declared the EEOC’s disparate-impact regime unconstitutional.

Disparate impact forced employers to trade neutral standards for racial quotas.

This is a direct strike on one of the Left’s favorite tools for forcing racial outcomes through law. For decades, disparate impact let our managerial elite treat neutral standards as suspect if they produced the “wrong” racial numbers.

It banned things like background checks, aptitude tests, knowledge exams, hiring screens, and merit-based selection.

That regime is over.

J.B. Pritzker called Callais an “abomination.”

No wonder. Illinois built one of the clearest race-based redistricting regimes in the country.

Just filed: the first major post-Callais lawsuit—and Illinois is the target. Time to enforce Callais nationwide.

https://twitter.com/PILFoundation/status/2053907516338081963

According to the Public Interest Legal Foundation, its client is challenging the Illinois Voting Rights Act of 2011’s redistricting mandates under the Fifteenth Amendment and federal Voting Rights Act.

That is exactly the kind of litigation Callais invites.

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. 🧵 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.

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. 🧵 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.

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. 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.

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. 🧵
Last September, I demanded answers on H-1B visas for DEI roles.

https://x.com/SenEricSchmitt/status/1971258158158115311?s=20

What I've found is staggering.

46,547 OPT workers. 19,285 employers.

New OPT data from California was provided to my office.🧵 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.

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. 🧵 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 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. 🧵
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.

Update in my fight to dismantle the broken OPT system—ICE just got me the numbers:

In Missouri alone there are 4,430 OPT visas—many working in jobs that are out-of-scope, stealing opportunities from young Missourians.

Here are some of the worst examples.🧵 OPT jobs *must* be directly related to the student’s major area of study.

And if you're a STEM major, you get *3-years of work authorization.*

Not only that, OPT holders are exempt from FICA taxes—a >15% tax subsidy for employers.

Did you know our Judiciary has its own taxpayer-funded “neutral training pipeline"?

Meet the USAID of Article III.

The Federal Judicial Center. What I've uncovered isn't "neutral" judicial training. It's ideological capture. Take a look at how it's infecting our judiciary. 🧵 The Federal Judicial Center (FJC) is the official research and education arm of the federal courts, created by Congress to train and equip our nation's judges.

It shapes how these judges evaluate evidence.

Its materials influence real court cases across the country every day.

ActBlue, the Democrats’ campaign cash machine, has faced many recent criminal allegations.

• Illegal "Smurfing"
• Turning a "blind eye" to illegal foreign donations
• Nonprofit fraud

Now it's time to add "lying to Congress."

Could we finally see a criminal investigation? 🧵 The core problem is simple:

ActBlue touted to Congress supposed “multilayered” protections, but investigators found major gaps in how its fraud controls were actually applied.

That’s not only an election-integrity problem. It’s also potentially a criminal problem.

How do we deport 1 million illegal aliens in 2026?

@Phase2Deport just released a playbook to help do just that. I hope my Senate colleagues read this one.

Let's break it down. 🧵 What they've done is lay out a list of 21 ways to both:

1. Incentivize illegal aliens to self-deport.
2. Retool our federal government's approach to identify and prioritize mass deportations.

The Trump DOJ recently won a massive case at the 8th Circuit.

For months, rogue district court judges in MN have engaged in all-out resistance.

ICE would arrest illegal aliens, but these judges would then immediately spring them loose.

The 8th Circuit just put an end to it. A bit of background:
In 1996, Congress passed the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act (IIRIRA).
The bill passed with large bipartisan majorities.

President Clinton signed it.

(This was before Democrats adopted their radical open borders ideology.)

Live-tweeting now while listening in: Oral arguments in the landmark birthright citizenship case, Trump v. Barbara.

There is 1 hour scheduled for the argument, but I expect this argument to go somewhere around 2.5-3 hours, given how thorny and important of an issue this is. 🧵 Arguing today are Solicitor General John Sauer, who was my Solicitor General when I was Attorney General of Missouri. He has a very impressive win record at the Supreme Court and is representing the government.

And Cecilia Wang, the National Legal Director for the ACLU.

Today, the Supreme Court will hear the Birthright Citizenship case.

American citizenship is a sacred privilege, not an automatic gift to those who break our laws.

I've been fighting on this issue in the Senate and at the Supreme Court. Here's what I'll be listening for. 🧵 The case—Trump v. Barbara—presents SCOTUS with this question:

Whether President Trump's executive order interpreting the 14th Amendment and federal law to NOT require unlimited birthright citizenship for the children of illegal aliens and temporary visitors is legal.

The H-1B visa system is riddled with abuse.

This new study confirms it: Companies aren't using H-1B visas to bring in the "best and brightest"; many are using them to import cheap foreign labor and undercut US wages.

We must end this abuse and protect the American worker. The study found companies pay H-1Bs 16% LESS than comparable American workers.

So over the 6-year term of an H-1B visa, employers save more than $100,000 by hiring foreigners instead of Americans.

That's why President Trump put a $100k filing fee on new H-1B applications.

Every day we are hearing new stories out of college sports that just don’t make sense – the system is broken.

This year we can stabilize the environment, put athletes first & protect the fan experience🧵 As the Commerce Committee works to address the issues this year, here are some of the things that we can do to fix college sports once and for all.

✅Secure Stability
✅Put Players First
✅Save Women's & Olympic Sports
✅Ensure College Sports Can Endure
