Later that day at 19:34 UTC, Calvert criticized Democratic lawmakers for their stance on law enforcement and immigration issues. He stated, “Just days after opposing the arrest of an indicted narco-terrorist, Democrats are now saying they would rather have Tren de Aragua gang members in their city than ICE agents. These radical leftwing politicians are putting politics before the people they were elected to keep safe.”
At 20:30 UTC the same day, Calvert endorsed legislation regarding taxation for workers in California. He tweeted, “No tax on tips and overtime allows California workers to keep more of their hard earned money. Passing this bill by @KateSanchezCA would let Californians hold on to even more of that money.”
Ken Calvert was born in Corona, California in 1953 and continues to reside there. He graduated from San Diego State University in 1975 with a Bachelor of Arts degree.
