Congresswoman Deborah Ross, representing North Carolina’s 2nd District, expressed her concerns about the impact of policies implemented under former President Trump through a series of tweets on April 8, 2025. Her posts addressed several issues from agricultural tariffs to immigration policy affecting North Carolina residents.
On April 8, 2025, Ross tweeted about the critical agricultural industry in North Carolina, stating, “Agriculture is the #1 industry in North Carolina. But Trump’s tariffs will devastate our farmers and raise prices for everyone.”
Later the same day, Ross highlighted the state’s role in accepting refugees and expressed disagreement with Trump administration policies that revoke visas for South Sudanese individuals. In her tweet, she said, “North Carolina has welcomed South Sudanese refugees and immigrants seeking safety and a better life. I led a letter with @ValerieFoushee calling on the Trump admin to reverse the harmful decision to revoke all visas held by South Sudanese passport holders.”
In another post on April 8, Ross voiced her concerns about the economic impact of tariffs. She tweeted, “President Trump’s tariffs will raise prices and bust budgets of hardworking North Carolinians. Republicans in Congress could stop this at any time, but most of them are falling in line and staying silent while prices rise and savings tumble.” These messages underscore Ross’s active engagement with issues critical to her constituents.
