Nick LaLota, a U.S. Congressman representing New York's 1st district since 2023, recently made several announcements via social media. The posts cover legislative efforts, commendations for veterans, and constituent services.
On January 25, 2025, LaLota highlighted the introduction of the Laken Riley Act, stating: "We promised to take action to make America safer—and we’re delivering. The Laken Riley Act ensures ICE can arrest illegal aliens committing crimes like theft and burglary, detaining them until deportation. It also empowers states to hold federal officials accountable for failing…" This legislation aims to strengthen immigration enforcement and accountability measures.
The following day, on January 26, 2025, LaLota paid tribute to a Korean War veteran from Kings Park: "Our nation is stronger because of the bravery and dedication of Americans like Korean War veteran Juan Rodriguez of Kings Park, a proud member of the legendary 65th Infantry Regiment—the 'Borinqueneers.' Long Island honors your service and lasting legacy!" This message underscores his appreciation for military service members' contributions.
Later that same day, LaLota announced the opening of his new office in Washington D.C.: " Our new office is open at 122 Cannon House Office Building in D.C.! My team and I are here to serve Suffolk County—whether you need help with federal agencies or just want to say hello. Stop by or give us a call!" This indicates his commitment to accessibility and support for constituents in Suffolk County.
