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).
