Rep. Don Beyer, a U.S. Congressman representing Virginia’s 8th district since 2015, has recently made several public statements via social media.

On April 10, 2025, Beyer commented on a report concerning the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), suggesting that "ICE now policing 'ideas' that 'cross the border illegally'". The Congressman did not provide further details on this tweet.
Later, on the same day, Beyer expressed relief following an airborne incident involving fellow Congressman Nick LaLota. He stated, "Very glad nobody was hurt, my best to @RepLaLota and everyone else who was on board both flights.

Concluding his online commentary for the day, Beyer stressed the importance of integrity among lawmakers.

This statement underscores his advocacy for financial transparency and fairness within congressional activities.
Beyer has been actively involved in political service for a decade, consistently advocating for policies to benefit his constituents.
