Congresswoman Deborah Ross, representing North Carolina's 2nd district, shared a series of updates via social media on January 22 and 23, 2025. Her communications addressed issues ranging from immigration reform to local support services in response to extreme weather conditions.

On January 22, Congresswoman Ross emphasized the need for comprehensive and bipartisan solutions to address the United States' immigration challenges. She criticized former President Trump's approach, stating it was "inhumane" and would "restrict lawful immigration." She shared her thoughts following a speech at a @JudiciaryDems hearing on the topic. "Fixing our broken immigration system requires comprehensive, bipartisan solutions, not Trump's inhumane approach that would restrict lawful immigration. Today, I spoke at a @JudiciaryDems hearing about real solutions."

Later that day, Ross informed her constituents about available shelter services in Raleigh as dangerously cold weather approached North Carolina. She provided resources for those seeking warmth and safety overnight during this period of inclement weather. "As dangerously cold weather descends on North Carolina, Raleigh has shelter services available for anyone who needs a warm place to stay overnight."

On January 23, Congresswoman Ross announced significant financial news for her district. Her office successfully facilitated the return of $5 million from the IRS in Employee Retention Credit (ERC) tax credits to a local medical group in North Carolina's 2nd District. She encouraged constituents needing assistance with federal agencies to reach out to her office directly. "Huge news! My district office just returned $5 million dollars from the IRS in ERC tax credits back to a local medical group in #NC02 If you need help with a federal agency, please don't ever hesitate to contact my office by calling (919) 334-0840."
