Congressman Byron Donalds, representing Florida’s 19th district since 2021, recently shared his views on immigration and law enforcement through a series of tweets. Donalds, who previously served in the Florida House of Representatives from 2016 to 2020, has been vocal about his stance on these issues.
On June 10, 2025, Congressman Donalds tweeted about the legal implications for individuals entering the United States unlawfully. He stated that “By definition, an illegal alien has broken federal law the second they unlawfully entered the United States and is subject to deportation.” He further emphasized that “The American people elected President Trump to get this crisis under control.” “Original quotation”
In another tweet posted on the same day, Donalds addressed actions taken by ICE and opposition from certain groups in Los Angeles. He remarked that while “ICE is doing their job to restore safety to our communities,” there are “far-left agitators in LA” attempting to hinder their efforts. According to Donalds, these agitators are engaging in violent activities such as rioting and attacking law enforcement officials. “Original quotation”
Later that day, Congressman Donalds elaborated on his views regarding immigration under President Biden’s administration. He criticized Biden for allowing “10-20M illegals” into the country and claimed they have caused harm by overrunning cities and endangering lives. He asserted that these individuals are subject to deportation and highlighted that President Trump was elected with a mandate to address this issue. Donalds also expressed support for ICE’s adherence to legal procedures while condemning leftist actions against small businesses. “Original quotation”
Byron Donalds was born in Brooklyn, New York City in 1978 and currently resides in Naples. He holds degrees from Florida A&M University and Florida State University.
