Representative André Carson, serving Indiana's 7th district in the United States Congress, shared significant updates through his Twitter account regarding legislative actions and humanitarian concerns. His remarks, underscored by firm advocacy, covered court orders, the situation in Gaza, and the preservation of Black history.

On April 1, 2025, Rep. Carson highlighted his concerns about judicial proceedings, stating, “This is not an error – it’s a direct result of defying court orders & denying due process. This administration will continue to send innocent people to prison unless we repeal the Alien Enemies Act.” Carson emphasized the legislative efforts made by himself and his Democratic colleagues to introduce a bill repealing this Act.

On April 2, 2025, Carson addressed the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, expressing urgency for international aid. He noted, “It’s been one month – 31 days – since aid has entered Gaza. I’m leading the UNRWA Funding Emergency Restoration Act with @RepJayapal and @RepSchakowsky because Gaza needs food and medical supplies, now more than ever.” His post underscored his legislative commitment to restoring aid to the region.

Later on the same day, April 2, 2025, Carson turned attention to Black history, spearheading efforts to rename a significant historical space in Washington, D.C. He stated, “Black history will not be erased. I’m honored to help lead an effort to rename the House Press Gallery after Frederick Douglass -- an abolitionist, orator, and journalist.” He honored Douglass as a pioneering figure for being the first Black man to report on Congress.
