Today:

Congressman Mark Alford
[January 27, 2026]

Let’s be clear: In America, we welcome LEGAL immigrants who strengthen our nation. What we don’t welcome is chaos, lawlessness, and politicians shielding criminal illegal aliens.

Minnesota is an example of failed leadership and open-border policies. The American people voted for enforcement, not anarchy.
[….]

Some of the responses:

This is racism at its worst! 2000 FE 26 and we’re still dealing with this BS! If any of these politicians had any balls they would be up there on the hill screaming and yelling!!! Crickets…..

This is not who we are. Im disappointed you are not one of us.

Those ICE agents are harassing people purely based on skin color and accents – it’s not about criminals.
People do support deporting violent criminals.. we don’t support the way immigration is currently being approached. Stop the chaos and the violence from ICE agents.
Do you know how to be honest ever?

No. This has been another edition of Short Answers to Simple Questions.

apparently he does not, sold his soul.

we need to make a concerted effort to remove and replace the liars. So tired of the gaslighting and propaganda. They are destroying our country.

Congressman Mark Alford your Pinocchio nose grows with each new pandering post your consultants who run your social media accounts post in your name.
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey has repeatedly pointed out that his city has one of the lowest immigrant populations that lack all of the required documentation to be granted residency. I recall the number to be less than 2% of the immigrant population.
You are just parroting Talking points, but seem to be a little behind. Trump is reducing ICE agents out of Minnesota after the state sponsored murder of 2 US citizens.
#ResistFascism
#ImpeachNoem
A round of applause for the citizens of Minneapolis! True patriots and an inspiration to all democracy loving Americans.

Do you endorse when ICE agents clap with enthusiasm after gunning down someone in the street?

another one said, “it’s like call of duty. Pretty cool, huh?”

Yet anarchy is what this administration has given us!! We know what we see with our own eyes!!

If we supposedly welcome legal immigrants, why is ICE showing up at courthouses across the country to arrest immigrants going through the legal process?

Good question.

So why is Ice grabbing people outside of court houses who are there for immigration hearings? Aren’t they trying to do it the right way?

Then why are people being arrested and deported from their immigration hearings?

Did you see the video of ICE murdering the VA nurse in the middle of the street? Are you good with that? How about when everyone in the administration lied about it? Good with that? Seems pretty dangerous Mark. That’s two US citizens murdered and no investigation so far.

No you don’t, and no it isn’t!

No Democratic politician nor state has EVER promoted or legislated having open borders.

When do we invade Texas and open investigations into their Governor?

If you welcome legal immigrants than why are your Nazi goons arresting those here legally, like the 5 year old boy in the bunny hat. His parents entered legally at a port of entry and have a legal asylum case on going?

I think protecting US citizens from being murdered by the government should be top priority.

Then why is ICE terrorizing & detaining legal immigrants???

And how many criminals & fraudsters has Trump pardoned ?? Congressman Mark Alford. Sit down – your fascism is showing!!!

You know Mark it’s so funny how previous administrations have been able to deport hundreds of thousands of people who were here illegally without shooting Americans. without tear-gassing people .what are you going to do when ICE brings their Stormtroopers to Kansas City? I’m all about legal immigration I think it’s a great plan I think we need to make it easier for people to come to this country our current system is completely broken but having a bunch of armed thugs shooting people is insanity

What you welcome is an organization whose specific function is to intimidate and terrorize neighborhoods. No one is protesting immigration laws. They are protesting against your American Gestapo. They are protesting because you are a Nazi and if you don’t want to be called a Nazi, I suggest you stop acting like one.
Get out your waders, folks. The bullshit’s getting deep here!

In America we also expect those involved in upholding the law to actually follow the law. From the top of the DOJ down to any agents in the field. Sadly, they are all letting us down. And, if you support this you are to blame.

Congressman Mark Alford saying people voted for federal agents to murder people?

This isn’t law enforcement. It never was. Neither is it about immigration. If it were about immigration, then ICE would be focused on Texas and Florida. Rather, this about a government agency creating chaos to distract from other issues like the Epstein files, the economy, Ukraine, etc. I am saddened that you can’t see that. You’ve lost my vote.

Wow.
This invasion of Minnesota by 3000 ICE AGENTS has nothing to do with immigration. This is an intimidation tactic.
Ask why there aren’t 3000 immigration agents in TEXAS…A state with nearly 2 million undocumented residents.

Fix the long wait times and stop arresting those that finally get hearings! Quit firing immigration judges and staff! It takes forever just to get a green card, and costs way too much!

Either you’re naive, stupid, or amoral because y’all have been going after immigrants who followed the rules. Oh and DHS did execute 2 US citizens. And you speak like this.

All three.

Congressman Mark Alford this is not what people voted for. I didn’t vote for racism/racial profiling and I didn’t vote for American citizens and green card holders to be abused and killed by the federal government. Every other President from W Bush to now has been able to use ICE to deport people without this violence and flagrant abuse of power.

“What we don’t welcome is chaos, lawlessness, and politicians shielding criminal illegal aliens.” Yet, you support Donald Trump? Makes no sense.

Do we? Cause we are arresting them at their hearings. you’re lying to our faces. How do you sleep at night?

Chaos by the Republicans you mean.

Mr. Alford, I will not forget your town hall message to your constituents, who had just lost their federal jobs, that “god has a plan for you.” Extremely crass and insensitive from people who are paying your salary. Saying this, from your privileged position, is such a pompous, nasty thing to say. Despicable. Now I read in the KC Star that you are supporting a concentration camp in Missouri. What are you thinking? Please resign.

How many of the immigrants that have been dragged from their cars, their jobs, their homes have been going through all the legal steps that are required to become citizens? It is amazing to me that you think we are so stupid that we don’t know what you and MAGA are doing. This is not about immigration. It’s about elimination of people of color. It’s racist and it’s wrong.

Hey Alford, how about explaining the steps for immigrants to become citizens like we’re kindergarteners.
PS: We know you don’t know.

Damn did you just shit yourself? I can smell it from my house. Way too much shit coming out of you.

I laughed my butt off at you last night when you said your people came from England “the right way.”
In other words, Einstein, they showed up and didn’t have TB?

Let’s be clear, ICE is causing the anarchy in MN and laughing about it!

ummm that’s a lie and you know it. legal immigrants are being arrested and deported daily.

Why do we not see ICE going after the EMPLOYERS of the illegal immigrants?

So you support masked murdering thugs. Good to know congressman.

What we didn’t vote for was allowing former playground bullies to be armed and turned loose on public streets to terrify and murder our citizens. I suggest you go back to your old job because you really suck at your current one!

The presence of ice goons is far for more dangerous than any immigrants. Ice goons are shooting and murdering HUMAN BEINGS. And you are evil, nasty, un-American creature soaking it all up and rolling around in it.

“Abolish ICE, America’s Gestapo”

Stop killing people and acting like thugs. If agents knew how to conduct themselves without being violent and, shockingly, actually followed the law, maybe things would be different.

If only Mark would see these comments! He doesn’t care.

Do us all a favor and just quit

I didn’t vote for this.

Do you ever stop spewing bull💩?

WTF is wrong with you. ICE is arresting LEGAL immigrants everyday. They have legal status and yet they are locking them up. They are snatching them from court proceedings that are facilitating the process. They are doing what WE TOLD THEM TO DO. They are doing things the right way and ICE agents are laying in wait. The gaslighting is extreme.

Y’all are snatching people up at the courthouse while they’re they’re for their immigration appointments. Please stop acting like we’re idiots. It’s insulting.

I think you are extremely confused.

It is my opinion that ICE personnel are armed…with ample ammunition…they intimidate citizens, attack in groups and assault and kill innocent citizens. I think that is domestic terrorism…plain and simple. Sending thousands of armed troops into SELECT American cities IS NOT acceptable to anyone with a brain and heart. It’s not America.

It is now.

Then why are citizenship ceremonies being postponed and cancelled? Why are green cards and student visas being revoked for no cause?…

Give me a break! This is the CHAOS administration. Every day, chaos. Every day. And that’s from the top!

Where oh where did you leave your conscience?

You are really a CLOWN

MN is an example of a government murdering its own citizens when they choose to protest.

In America, we also don’t welcome a poorly trained, overagressive, paramilitary, armed goon squad that answers only to the president operating with “absolute immunity” gunning down US citizens.

Legal immigrants.
Except for the legal Somali immigrants. Except for the immigrants from South America. Except for those from Mexico. Except for any brown immigrants.
But yes to white South Africans!

We didn’t vote for murder

Really? Remember when ICE forced their way into his home? He’s been an American citizen for decades, who asked his daughter to get his identification. ICE officers refused it, while his 4 year old grandson cried. An elderly man, taken in his underwear, while his neighbors cried.
You brought this chaos, Mark Alford .
Thankfully he’s back home, but ICE terrorized this man, his family, and neighbors.

“If only the government cared about the right ICE”
