Representative Andy Harris, MD—currently serving in the U.S. Congress for Maryland’s 1st District since 2011—has voiced several concerns via social media regarding recent actions by the FBI and the media. Harris’s communications on social media seem to criticize the current administration and highlight certain media narratives.
On April 17, 2025, Harris expressed concern over reports that the FBI under President Biden directed the Tennessee Highway Patrol to release Abrego-Garcia, who had been detained during a traffic stop under suspicion of human trafficking. Harris questioned the motives of Maryland Democrats in their efforts to bring this individual back to Maryland. “It gets even worse.
New reports show that Biden’s FBI ordered the Tennessee Highway Patrol to release Abrego-Garcia after he was detained in a traffic stop on suspicion of human trafficking.
Again, this is who the Maryland Democrats are fighting to bring back to Maryland.” (Posted on April 17, 2025).

In another post, Harris announced his forthcoming appearance on the Larry O’Connor show, where he intended to discuss how the media frames the “Maryland Man.” “Coming up on the @LarryOConnor show to talk about the media framing of the “Maryland Man.” 7:35am Tune in.” (Posted on April 17, 2025).
Harris, a long-serving and experienced political figure, was born in New York City and has a noted academic background, including a Bachelor of Science degree from Johns Hopkins University. His tenure in public office has included a previous stint in the Maryland House of Representatives and in the Maryland Senate from 1999 to 2011.
