Rep. Wesley Hunt Press Office, the official communication platform for Congressman Wesley Hunt's office, recently disseminated a series of statements on social media regarding recent developments in border security and related issues. Hunt, serving as a U.S. Representative for Texas's 38th District since 2023, used his platform to voice strong opinions on the current administration's actions and border policies.

On April 16, 2025, the press office declared: "No more games! President Trump just greenlit full military authority to secure public land along the southern border. Biden could have done it at anytime in 4 years. Trump is acting as a Commander-in-Chief SHOULD." This tweet indicates ongoing support for Trump’s border security measures and a comparative critique of President Biden’s policies during his tenure.

Later the same day, at 14:45, the press office reported a significant drug seizure carried out by customs officials: "Customs and Border Protection seized $14M of Meth at the border. Border patrol is FINALLY able to do their jobs and stop illegal drug smuggling now that Trump has secured the border. PROMISES KEPT!" This highlights an instance of law enforcement purportedly succeeding under the current administration’s policies.

Furthermore, on the same day at 17:57, a dismissal of the Democratic Party's empathy towards crime victims connected to illegal immigration was expressed: "How many Democrats rushed home to mourn with the families whose loved ones were slaughtered by illegal aliens? Not a single one. Because to them, open borders matter more than American lives." This statement criticizes Democratic legislators for their perceived lack of responsiveness and prioritization of open border policies.

Additional context reveals that Wesley Hunt, born in 1981 in Houston, Texas, where he currently resides, has been outspoken on issues of national security and immigration since assuming office.
