Congressman Mike Lawler posted several messages on November 20, 2025, addressing topics including the U.S. Navy’s anniversary and a recent decision by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).

In his first post from November 20, Lawler expressed gratitude for the service of Navy personnel: “Proud to join the Navy community last night in celebrating 250 years of service and sacrifice. To every sailor past and present: thank you for keeping our nation safe.”

Later that day, he shared another message with only a link: “https://t.co/SpmcQPFf6S”.

In a subsequent post, Lawler thanked USCIS and its director for reversing a previous decision related to immigration policy. He stated: “Thank you to USCIS and the Director for reversing this decision. For so many new Americans, including my own wife, this moment represents years of hard work, sacrifice, and an unwavering belief in the American Dream.”

The U.S. Navy was established in 1775 during the American Revolution and celebrated its 250th anniversary in 2025. The milestone marks a long history of military service by sailors across generations.

USCIS is responsible for administering lawful immigration to the United States. Policy changes or reversals can significantly affect immigrants’ lives, especially those working toward citizenship or permanent residency.
