Congressman Rudy Yakym, a representative of Indiana's 2nd District since 2022, recently shared his views on immigration and fiscal policy through a series of tweets. His statements reflect the legislative priorities he supports, particularly in relation to immigration enforcement and economic measures.

On June 2, 2025, Congressman Yakym addressed the topic of immigration by stating that "Republicans are working to remove illegal immigrants. Democrats are flying to foreign countries to bring them back." He highlighted a legislative proposal referred to as "Our One, Big, Beautiful Bill," which aims to provide Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) with enhanced capabilities for deporting criminal illegal aliens.

Later that day, Yakym elaborated on economic issues during an appearance on SIRIUSXM with Steve Scully. In his tweet from June 2, he emphasized the need for fiscal restraint in Washington: "Joined @SteveScully on @SIRIUSXM to explain that here in Washington, we need to rein in spending, not raise taxes. That’s exactly what our One, Big, Beautiful Bill does."

On June 3, 2025, Yakym expressed approval or satisfaction with an unspecified event or development through a succinct post saying "Good!"

Rudy Yakym was born in Granger in 1984 and has been serving as a U.S. Congressman since being elected. He is an alumnus of Indiana University South Bend where he completed his Associate degree in 2009 and Bachelor's degree in 2011.
