Press Releases

Today, Congressman Andy Biggs (R-AZ), Congressman Tom Tiffany (R-WI), and Congressman Matt Rosendale (R-MT) sent a letter to Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Senior Official Performing the Duties of the Commissioner Troy Miller regarding reports that CBP officials are being instructed to extend the operating hours of Northern Border ports of entry up to 24 hours without sufficient manpower to monitor them. Congressman Biggs issued the following statement after sending his letter this afternoon:

Today, Congressman Andy Biggs (R-AZ) sent a letter to Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas in response to claims that the department is misusing a $40 million taxpayer-funded counter-terrorism program to target conservatives. DHS’ Targeted Violence and Terrorism Prevention Grant Program (TVTP), initially designed to address al-Qaeda’s recruitment of Americans, is reportedly being used to target and suppress conservative-oriented Americans.

Tonight, Congressman Andy Biggs (R-AZ) is opposing the House of Representatives’ H.R. 3746, the Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023. This legislation raises the nation’s debt ceiling and could lead to an increase in the national debt by $4 trillion by January 1, 2025. The bill preserves President Biden’s student debt bailout program, the 80,000-some Internal Revenue Service (IRS) army, and Green New Deal subsidies.

Today, Congressman Andy Biggs (R-AZ) introduced the Federal Employee Student Debt Transparency Act. This legislation would require all Senior Executive Service employees and Biden Administration political appointees to disclose their federal student loan balances to Congress in a more detailed report. The Biden Administration continues to push for an unlawful student debt bailout while their own staffers reportedly hold millions in student debt. This bill would identify potential conflicts of interest and provide more accountability.

Today, Congressman Andy Biggs (R-AZ) introduced the Biden Time Act of 2023 to delay reaching the debt ceiling “X date” that Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen claims—without a shred of evidence—is June 1st. Congressman Biggs’ legislation would immediately rescind unspent COVID relief funding from the American Rescue Plan of 2021 as well as unspent IRS funding from the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022.

Today, Congressman Andy Biggs (R-AZ), along with Congressmen Chip Roy (R-TX) and Ralph Norman (R-SC), sent a letter to House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Michael McCaul (R-TX) and Ranking Member Gregory Meeks (D-NY) urging them to advance legislation to withdraw the United States from the World Health Organization (WHO) and prohibit using funds for U.S. participation in the organization. Congressman Biggs’ legislation—H.R. 79, The WHO Withdrawal Act—and Congressman Roy’s legislation—H.R.

Today, Congressman Andy Biggs (R-AZ) applauded the House of Representatives' passage of H.R. 2, the Secure The Border Act. This legislation specifically resumes border wall construction, restores asylum integrity, ends "catch and release" policies, unites families at the border, protects jobs for American workers, adds more border personnel, and increases penalties for visa overstayers. 

Today, Congressman Andy Biggs (R-AZ), Congressman Matt Rosendale (R-MT), and Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) are reintroducing the Veterans Health Care Freedom Act. This legislation grants veterans the option of seeking non-VA health care providers in their communities by removing the VA out of the community care referral process. Specifically, this allows veterans to access primary, specialty, and mental health care in the private sector and outside of their corresponding Veterans Integrated Service Networks.
