Rep. Chip Roy Press Office, the official communication outlet for U.S. Congressman Chip Roy of Texas' 21st District, has recently addressed several pressing political issues through social media. The posts underscore the representative's stance on illegal voting, legislative support, and immigration policy.

On April 17, 2025, the press office highlighted new findings from Rasmussen Reports. According to the data, a majority of Americans are inclined toward preventing unauthorized immigrants from participating in U.S. elections. The post questioned the Democratic Party's opposition to legislative measures deemed to ensure that electoral participation is exclusive to citizens.

Later that day, the press office endorsed an article by Beth Brelje published in The Federalist. The cited article criticizes the Democratic Party's lack of support for the SAVE Act, labeling it as a failure to serve constituents. The complete tweet is available here.

The office also addressed the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, stating that he was not "wrongly deported" but was a member of the MS-13 gang, known for violence, who allegedly abused his wife. The conclusion was clear: such individuals should not return to American streets. The relevant post can be viewed here.

Representative Chip Roy, born in Bethesda, Maryland, in 1972 and currently residing in Austin, succeeded Lamar Smith in 2019 as the congressional representative for Texas' 21st district. He holds a bachelor’s degree from the University of Virginia and a law degree from the University of Texas-Austin.
