Brian Harrison, a Texas state representative, posted several tweets on July 17 and 18, 2025, expressing concerns about policies at Texas A&M University and referencing legislative oversight. The posts included direct mentions of the Texas Legislature and the university.
On July 17, Harrison addressed the Texas Legislature with a brief message: “Cc: TxLege https://t.co/1SoGYVHRVo”.
Later that day, he raised specific objections regarding university policy, writing: “Why the hell is @tamu encouraging students to report ICE agents to the police… and treating ‘gender identity’ as if Biden’s Title IX rule was still in effect!?! Texas A&M has been led by progressive leftists for too long, and my office will be demanding answers. https://t.co/ud6cli9GHA”.
On July 18, Harrison followed up with another message directed at Texas A&M: “Cc: @TAMU https://t.co/LH7T40P4bi”.
Harrison’s tweets reference ongoing debates in Texas over immigration enforcement on campuses and the application of federal gender identity protections under Title IX. In April 2024, President Biden finalized new Title IX regulations expanding protections for LGBTQ+ students, but some states—including Texas—have taken steps to block or challenge these rules’ implementation (https://www.texastribune.org/2024/04/19/title-ix-biden-lgbtq-schools-texas-lawsuit/). Additionally, universities in Texas have faced scrutiny from state lawmakers over their handling of both federal immigration authorities and campus diversity policies.
