Congressman Pat Harrigan, an outspoken political figure, recently addressed several pressing issues through his social media platform. His comments focused on the safety of federal agents, antisemitism on college campuses, and the influence of foreign entities in American universities.
On June 6, 2025, Congressman Harrigan raised concerns about safety measures for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents. He highlighted a perceived inconsistency in national priorities by stating “So ICE agents wearing masks to protect their families is a national crisis, but masked antisemites stalking Jewish students on campus is just business as usual.” He criticized House Democrats by asserting that they are “out of their minds.”
Later that day, Congressman Harrigan turned his attention to international students studying in North Carolina. With over 21,000 such students in the state, he expressed concern about potential espionage activities linked to China. He remarked “North Carolina has over 21,000 international students. To the CCP, that’s 21,000 opportunities to spy, steal, and silence.” He advocated for cutting off foreign financial influences and expelling groups associated with the Chinese Communist Party from university settings.
