Niño Guerrero flooded our communities with drugs, fueling crime and killing Americans. President Trump was absolutely right to destroy this terrorist.

Throughout this congress, Democrats have jeopardized national security through gov shutdowns, refusing to fund law enforcement, & now blocking the surveillance of terrorists. Section 702 of FISA is America's most powerful counterterrorism tool—today, Dems are letting it go dark.

Those who don’t belong in our country don’t belong in our banks. America’s financial institutions should be reserved for people following our immigration laws. washingtonreporter.news/op-e…

May’s strong jobs report proves that Senate Republicans’ Working Families @TaxCuts is working. 172,000 new jobs for Americans were added last month, including 7,000 new manufacturing jobs. cnbc.com/2026/06/05/jobs-rep…

Jay Clayton is an excellent choice by President Trump for Director of National Intelligence. In his service to the people of New York, Mr. Clayton has deep experience combatting a wide range of national security threats. The Senate Intelligence Committee will quickly process his nomination.

To be frank, failing to extend FISA Section 702 could be fatal. Democrats need to put politics aside and support this vital national security tool.
Community note
Section 702 surveillance would continue under existing FISA Court certifications even if the statute lapses on June 12, remaining valid until at least March 2027. brennancenter.org/our-work/resea… cato.org/blog/fisa-sect…

Following my letter, @SecScottBessent announced any tolls paid to the Persian Gulf Strait Authority will be offset by funds from Iranian accounts. This is an important step in holding this criminal entity accountable.
The Iranian regime will lose the zero-sum game it is playing. Any damage it inflicts on our allies in the Gulf will be paid for with funds extracted from Iranian Accounts. Any tolls paid to the Persian Gulf Strait Authority will be offset by funds extracted from their accounts. Every attack Iran launches will only deepen the economic and financial consequences it faces.

FISA is a critical tool that allows Treasury to stop terrorists from utilizing the financial system to carry out attacks against the United States and continues to be a critical component of our national and economic security. It is the most important tool we have to collect information on our adversaries including Iran and Hamas. Congressional Democrats should stop playing politics with the safety and security of the American people.

For years, foreign nationals, including from Communist China, have systematically exploited America’s surrogacy and birthright citizenship laws. Thankful @StateDept is taking steps to end this practice.
Under President Trump, the State Department is defending the integrity of U.S. citizenship by ending illegal birth tourism schemes. No foreigner is permitted to obtain a visitor visa for the primary purpose of acquiring U.S. citizenship for a child by giving birth in the U.S.

The NIH researchers charged with conspiracy to smuggle monkeypox should face increased face jail time. So should anyone else who brings dangerous pathogens into our country. My bill would increase the punishment for biological smuggling. cotton.senate.gov/news/press…

Allowing FISA Section 702 to expire before the World Cup risks American lives. Democrats need to come to their senses and support this vital national security tool.
Millions of Americans and soccer fans will travel across North America for the World Cup.   To ensure the event’s safety, Democrats should join Republicans and support one of our most effective tools for disrupting threats.   My @dcexaminer column⬇️   washingtonexaminer.com/op-ed…

Communist China will lie and cheat to win the AI race—including attempting to influence American policy and opinion on data centers. This is completely unacceptable. I’m encouraging @TheJusticeDept to investigate. cotton.senate.gov/news/press…

FISA Section 702 helps prevent terror attacks before they happen.   With the World Cup approaching, Democrats are risking American lives if they allow this vital national security authority to expire.

Smuggling any pathogen—like monkeypox—into the country threatens every American. My bill stiffens penalties for anyone like these NIH researchers who put their own research above public safety. military.com/exclusive-senat…

Recent reports show that Communist China is attempting to influence our policy and public opinion on data centers. The reason is obvious: they want to kneecap our processing power to win the AI race. Americans should decide their own future free of communist propaganda. I'm encouraging @TheJusticeDept to investigate. foxnews.com/politics/sen-tom…
