Rep. Eli Crane, a member of the U.S. Congress representing Arizona's 2nd district since 2023, recently expressed his views on immigration and judicial decisions through a series of tweets. Crane, who succeeded Tom O'Halleran, has been vocal about his stance on these issues.
On March 16, 2025, Rep. Crane questioned the idea of allowing foreign gang members into the United States by stating: "Who is in favor of turning a plane full of foreign gang members back to the United States? No thanks."
Later that day, he drew a comparison between two presidents' actions regarding legal decisions: "Joe Biden ignored the Supreme Court so he could pay off the student loans of his supporters. Donald Trump ignored an activist judge so he could deport foreign gangsters. Need I say more?" This tweet was posted at 20:29 UTC.
In another tweet posted at 22:10 UTC on March 16, Rep. Crane criticized a federal judge's decision related to immigration: "A federal judge wanted to keep the gangsters (who are not Americans) in America. Literally."
