Immigration & Border
The candidate resigned from the Department of Justice in February 2025 after leadership directed prosecutors to dismiss an indictment in a case tied to immigration-enforcement concessions, framing his action as opposition to politicizing prosecutions. Public materials and coverage emphasize his resignation and criticism of using prosecutorial decisions to secure immigration-enforcement cooperation, but do not set out clear policy proposals on border security, asylum, pathways to legalization, or deportation practices.
Public Safety & Guns
The candidate supports expanded gun-safety measures including universal background checks, closing the gun-show loophole, limits on high-capacity magazines, and allowing strict liability lawsuits against gun manufacturers to reduce mass shootings and keep communities safe.
