Congressman Nick LaLota has recently shared his views and updates on social media regarding several issues, including immigration policy and local emergencies. His statements provide insight into his stance on federal enforcement actions and his concern for community safety.

On March 8, 2025, Congressman LaLota commented on the federal government's decision to relocate the Small Business Administration's regional offices from sanctuary cities like New York City. He stated that "Sanctuary cities like NYC got a wake-up call. The President is serious about enforcing immigration law, and his administration made the right move—relocating the SBA’s regional offices from cities that refuse to cooperate. Actions have consequences."

Later that day, he expressed gratitude towards firefighters dealing with fires in Suffolk County. In a tweet posted at 21:33 UTC, he said "Deeply grateful to the brave Firefighters battling the Suffolk County fires. Their courage and commitment keep our communities safe. I’m in close contact with officials coordinating the response and hoping for the safety of all First Responders and residents."

The following day, March 9, 2025, Congressman LaLota shared his concerns for injured firefighters involved in the Suffolk County fire response efforts. He tweeted at 15:34 UTC that "My thoughts are with the two courageous volunteer Firefighters who were injured during the response—one suffering from likely second-degree burns and the other with a head injury. Thankfully, neither injury is life-threatening."
