Rep. James Comer, a U.S. Congressman representing Kentucky’s 1st district since 2016, has been vocal on social media regarding various political issues. Comer's tweets often address immigration policies and critique the Democratic party's stance on certain matters.

On March 5, 2025, Rep. Comer expressed his views on sanctuary city policies via Twitter. He stated that such policies "only create Sanctuaries for criminals" and accused Democrat mayors of obstructing federal immigration enforcement and shielding criminal aliens, which he believes jeopardizes American safety. He further suggested that no taxpayer funds should be allocated to these cities. The full tweet can be viewed here.

Later that day, Comer tweeted about an incident in Chicago involving an illegal alien who was arrested for killing a 63-year-old man after previously being arrested for attempting to lure a child. Despite ICE lodging a detainer against the individual, Chicago authorities released him back onto the street. Comer criticized Democrats for focusing on other issues instead of addressing such incidents, with the complete tweet available here.

On March 6, 2025, Comer commented on President Trump's administration following what he described as "years of Joe Biden's woke tyranny."
