Photo ID required to vote in federal elections
Proof of U.S. citizenship required to register
Non-citizens removed from voter rolls
American elections secured
A massive win for America.
The Senate must pass this NOW.”

In another post dated February 12, 2026, Harris commented on a law enforcement matter in Maryland: “An illegal alien convicted of rape in Baltimore County, Maryland was arrested by ICE and taken off our streets.
This is urgent enforcement that protects American communities.
Families are safer because ICE is doing its job.”
