Lance Gooden, a U.S. Congressman representing Texas' 5th district, shared his views on various political issues through a series of tweets on March 25, 2025. His statements covered topics ranging from immigration policies to former President Donald Trump's legacy.
In one tweet posted at 18:06 UTC, Gooden criticized New York Governor Kathy Hochul's stance on immigration. He referenced an incident from 2023 when Hochul criticized Texas for sending undocumented immigrants to New York. Recently, Hochul announced her decision not to cooperate with ICE in deporting criminal illegal aliens. Gooden commented on this development by stating, "You can't have it both ways, Kathy."
Later that day at 18:35 UTC, Gooden expressed his support for former President Donald Trump by declaring him as "the most Pro-Life President in American history." He emphasized Trump's fulfillment of promises made during his presidency.
In another tweet at 22:14 UTC, Gooden questioned the judiciary's response to immigration enforcement under the Biden administration. He asked rhetorically about the absence of judicial action when "Joe Biden didn't do his job, follow the law, and imported millions of illegal aliens to begin with?"
