Nancy Mace, the U.S. Congress representative for South Carolina's 1st district, made a series of statements on her social media that address issues ranging from immigration policy to education. Her comments have sparked discussions regarding ICE operations, national security, and educational approaches to the topic of gender.

On April 3, 2025, Mace highlighted the recent actions of ICE in Houston, announcing that 174 criminal illegal aliens, described as “m*rderers, r*pists, and drug lords," had been deported. She concluded her statement with a stark remark: "Good riddance, and don’t let the border hit you on the way out."

Later that day, Mace criticized the Biden Administration's Department of Homeland Security regarding its handling of terror suspects. She stated on social media, “Biden’s DHS let in nearly 7,000 terror suspects in 2024.” Mace announced the introduction of the Stop Importing Terrorism Act, aiming to remove the DHS's authority to waive bans on terrorism and push for the deportation of those already present in the country. She called for codification of executive orders to prioritize the nation's security, saying, “Time to codify @POTUS EO's and put America First!”

Finally, on April 3, 2025, Mace expressed an opinion on education related to gender identity, tweeting, "Kids should be taught they don’t have the power to change their chromosomes." Her statement alludes to a broader debate on how gender identity topics should be approached in educational settings.
