Immigration and Law Enforcement

• ⚠️ Roy criticizes Democrat leadership for fostering chaos at the border and in cities like Minneapolis, stating it will backfire politically.

• 🤝 He expresses confidence in Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen and the administration's efforts to restore order, while noting the ongoing challenges with local officials' cooperation.

School Vouchers and DEI Policies

• 🏛️ Regarding Attorney General Ken Paxton's opinion on DEI programs, officials are not aware of any schools being disqualified or dropping out of the voucher program so far.

Democratic Senate Race Dynamics
