WASHINGTON – Congressman Darrell Issa (CA-48), senior member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, and Senator Rick Scott (R-FL) sent a bicameral letter to Secretary of State Blinken to demand the State Department take action on the censorship of free speech in Brazil by the country’s supreme court.

The letter specifically details Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes’ decision to ban the social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter) from Brazil and levy fines against the platform and users.

An excerpt from the letter:

WASHINGTON – Congressman Darrell Issa (CA-48), a senior member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, and Congressman Dean Phillips (MN-03), Ranking Member of the House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on the Middle East, North Africa, and Central Asia, introduced the Houthi Human Rights Accountability Act (H.R. 9564). The legislation will address human rights abuses, student indoctrination, and attempted aid diversion by the Houthis in Yemen.

WASHINGTON – Congressman Darrell Issa (CA-48), senior member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, this week revealed the Biden-Harris State Department financed a workshop where migrants were coached to lie to U.S. immigration officials so they could enter the country illegally.

WASHINGTON –The No Censors on Our Shores Act, sponsored by Congressman Darrell Issa (CA-48) and Congresswoman Maria Salazar (FL-27), was passed out of the House Judiciary Committee by a vote of 16-9. 

The bill specifies that official acts by a foreign government official against American citizens while they are in the U.S. – that would violate their First Amendment rights had it occurred in this country – can be refused entry into the United States or deported once here.

WASHINGTON – Congressman Darrell Issa (CA-48), Chairman of the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Courts, Intellectual Property, and the Internet, introduced the Judicial Understaffing Delays Getting Emergencies Solved Act of 2024 (JUDGES Act), which will add critically needed federal judgeships to resolve currently understaffed and backlogged courts.
