Rep. Andy Ogles, representing Tennessee’s 5th district in the U.S. Congress, shared a series of tweets discussing national security issues and religious reflections over a span of three days in April 2025. Ogles, who replaced Jim Cooper in 2023, continues to voice his opinions on various subjects from his base in Columbia, Tennessee, where he resides after his education at Middle Tennessee State University and Western Kentucky University.
On April 18, 2025, Rep. Ogles tweeted, "Well, there you go, DeMS-13’s favorite gang member caught red-handed." This post suggests his critique towards what he perceives as leniency in dealing with gang-related crimes.
Continuing the theme on April 19, 2025, Ogles expressed concerns over immigration policies, stating, "Deporting criminal illegal aliens is a matter of national security. This list contains police assaulters, child abusers, and drug traffickers. It’s time for judges to step aside and let the President do his job." His comments reflect his stance on strengthening the deportation of illegal aliens to ensure national security.
On a different note, on April 20, 2025, Ogles shifted to a religious message by tweeting "Happy Easter! He is risen! For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. 2 Corinthians 5:21 ESV." Here, he shares the Easter message of resurrection according to the Christian faith.
