Rep. Wesley Hunt, who has represented Texas's 38th District in the U.S. Congress since 2023, conveyed a series of statements via social media on April 15, 2025, addressing issues related to border security, deportation policies, and the treatment of criminal migrants by the current administration. Hunt, a resident of Houston born in 1981, frequently engages in public discourse regarding national security and immigration.

In a post shared at 17:47:48 UTC on April 15, Hunt stated that "Border Patrol apprehension’s were lower in the ENTIRE month of March 2025 than in the first TWO days of March 2024 under the Biden Administration. The Border is Secure, the invasion has ENDED. Promises Kept!" This statement suggests Hunt's stance that recent border security measures have effectively controlled illegal crossings compared to the previous year.

At 17:53:11 UTC the same day, Hunt emphasized distinctions regarding immigration enforcement, asserting, "There’s a difference between Foreign Terrorists and Illegal Alien Criminals. But there’s 1 thing in Common: They will be DEPORTED." This reflects his position on stringent deportation policies for both foreign terrorists and illegal immigrants involved in criminal activities.

Later, at 17:58:30 UTC, Hunt questioned the accountability within the White House regarding the deportation of a criminal. He remarked, "Reporter asks’s WH Press Secretary if someone is going to take responsibility for the criminal migrant sent to El Salvador who was a MS-13 member. What is the Left’s obsession with defending violent gang members, criminal aliens, and terrorists?" Hunt's comment appears critical of what he perceives as leniency towards violent criminal elements.
