Tenney releases plans to secure border and support law enforcement

Press Release, Congresswoman Claudia Tenney

OSWEGO – Congresswoman Claudia Tenney (NY-24) on Thursday released her comprehensive Border Security and Law Enforcement plans, reinforcing her commitment to securing the borders, upholding the rule of law, and supporting law enforcement officers.

Tenney’s Border Security Plan was shaped by her recent visits to both the Southern and Northern borders, where she met with Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents to discuss effective measures to secure our borders and protect our communities. In response to the increasing violent crimes committed by illegal immigrants, Tenney cosponsored the Laken Riley Act, which ensures that illegal aliens charged with crimes remain in custody until their cases are adjudicated.

Her Law Enforcement Plan underscores her steadfast support for police officers, focusing on providing them with the resources and tools they need to safely and effectively carry out their duties. Recently, Tenney cosponsored H.Res. 285, a resolution to establish a Law Enforcement Bill of Rights. This resolution asserts that police officers have the right to defend themselves, to due process, and to protection under the Fifth Amendment.

“Since the start of the Biden-Harris administration, over 10 million illegal immigrants have entered our country, abusing our taxpayer-funded resources and wreaking havoc in our communities,” Tenney said. “Our law enforcement officers are also facing unprecedented challenges as violent crime surges and the Left seeks to undermine their ability to do their jobs safely and effectively. My plans offer a commonsense approach to securing our borders, stopping the influx of illegal immigrants, and supporting the brave men and women in law enforcement. I am committed to holding criminals accountable and ensuring our nation’s laws are upheld.”
