Later that day, at 13:49 UTC, Harris criticized Maryland Democrats' immigration policies, writing, "The goalposts keep shifting for Maryland Democrats as their mission is now to keep Maryland a home for MS-13 gang members and illegal immigrants. Their sanctuary state policies are on full display."

He tweeted, "Another illegal immigrant was charged with the murder of a mother in Maryland. The body of 23-year-old Lesbia Ramirez Guerra was found in a forest near Prince George’s County—a proud sanctuary jurisdiction. How much longer will Maryland Democrats keep Maryland a sanctuary?"
