Senator Lindsey Graham, who represents South Carolina and serves as chairman of the Senate Budget Committee, posted a series of tweets on March 10, 2026, addressing issues related to national leadership and sanctuary city policies.
In an early morning post, Graham expressed support for former President Donald Trump, stating: “We finally have a Commander in Chief who follows through on what he says. President @realDonaldTrump is a man of his word, and no one knows that better than our adversaries.” (March 10, 2026)
Later that day, Graham criticized sanctuary city policies in relation to a specific case: “Sanctuary City Policies Endanger Americans An illegal immigrant with over 30 arrests was detained in Fairfax County. But local officials refused to turn him over for deportation. Because of that decision, Stephanie Minter is now dead.” (March 10, 2026)
He continued his commentary following a hearing by the Senate Budget Committee: “What did I learn from today’s @BudgetGOP hearing? Democrats are ‘all-in’ on sanctuary city policies.” (March 10, 2026)
According to his official website, Graham has focused his legislative work on robust national defense and fiscal responsibility. He has also played a key role in border-security legislation as chairman of the Senate Budget Committee and released updated legislative text for a border-security funding bill in June 2025. First elected to the U.S. Senate in 2002, Graham continues to serve South Carolina within the U.S. government.
