Eli Crane, a member of the U.S. Congress representing Arizona's 2nd district since 2023, recently shared insights on legislative developments via social media. Crane, who succeeded Tom O'Halleran and serves as the only House member from Arizona on the Homeland Security Committee, focuses on border security issues.

On March 11, 2025, Crane expressed his thoughts about a recent vote on his bill: "I thought for sure everyone was gonna vote yes on my bill this evening. 402-1 is still pretty solid though."

Later that day, he addressed concerns regarding border crossings and tunnel threats: "With border crossings thankfully going down since January, it's safe to assume this will drive threats underneath our border through these tunnels. This legislation will ensure Congress has sufficient knowledge and oversight in regard to this dynamic threat."

Crane highlighted the passage of his bipartisan bill aimed at increasing oversight over tunnel threats: "ICYMI - Last night, my bipartisan bill passed out of the House in an effort to increase oversight over the evolving threat of tunnels at our border. As Arizona’s only House member on the Homeland Security Committee, I’m always focused on strengthening border security."
