               NEWSLETTER FROM CONGRESSMAN CHUCK EDWARDS

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. CHUCK EDWARDS

                           of north carolina

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 24, 2025

  Mr. EDWARDS. Mr. Speaker, I include in the Record the following 
newsletter to give an update to my constituents on the reconciliation 
bill and restoring law and order.

       Dear Friend,
       As a member of the House Budget Committee, I've helped 
     craft the most fiscally responsible reconciliation bill in 
     U.S. history with $1.7 trillion in savings, which garnered 
     the support of the full House Republican conference.
       The Senate is currently reviewing the bill, and I'm urging 
     Senate leadership to make sure that any changes to the bill: 
     Do not increase the deficit relative to current law.
       Provide real savings--no gimmicks or tricks. Any additional 
     tax cuts must be matched dollar-for-dollar by enforceable 
     spending reductions.
       Balance tax relief and spending restraint for sustainable 
     growth.
       Our unified government cannot squander this unique 
     opportunity to change the trajectory of our nation by 
     restoring fiscal discipline.
       From my seats on the House Budget and Appropriations 
     Committees, I will continue to push for policies that will 
     reverse our national debt, make sure tax dollars work for the 
     American people, and root out waste, fraud, and abuse.


                        Restoring law and order

       In an extreme example of spinning reality, some have 
     alleged that the Los Angeles protests we've seen coverage of 
     online and on TV have been ``peaceful.''
       Let's set the record straight: Protestors were engaging in 
     violence and vandalism--burning cars, attacking police 
     officers, and burglarizing businesses. The previous 
     administration's open-border policies and disregard for the 
     law led us to the chaos and lawlessness we are seeing today, 
     and it is President Trump's responsibility to restore law and 
     order. That is why I fully support his decision to send 
     Marines and National Guard troops to LA.
       Unfortunately, we will continue to pay for the consequences 
     of open borders for decades to come; but to address these 
     issues, I'm co-sponsoring the following bills:


           Stop Anarchists from Endangering (SAFE) Cities Act

       Codifies President Trump's executive order restricting 
     federal funding for jurisdictions deemed to be ``anarchist 
     jurisdictions'' by cutting federal funding for any state or 
     local jurisdictions the Department of Justice identifies to 
     be permitting ``anarchy, violence, or destruction.''


               Returning Illegals Over Turmoil (RIOT) Act

       Makes any illegal immigrant, DACA recipient, or lawful 
     permanent resident who is arrested and convicted of 
     assaulting a police officer or member of the military and/or 
     vandalism or destruction of public property during a declared 
     emergency deportable and permanently inadmissible.


                Mobilizing Against Sanctuary Cities Act

       Revokes federal funding from state and local jurisdictions 
     that fail to honor ICE detainers or ignore communications 
     from ICE.
       We must put Americans first by ensuring the safety of our 
     citizens and the security of our Nation. In Congress, I will 
     continue to push for legislation to do so.
