Chief Justice Roberts wrote that children born in the U.S. to undocumented parents 'are citizens at birth.' Crank went on Newsmax to say he was disappointed, and that he'd meet with House leadership about what Congress could do.
His Eliminate DEI in Colleges Act makes a school ineligible for every federal program — including federal student loans — unless it certifies it runs no DEI program and no DEI office. He's introduced it twice. He also voted against naming a Tallahassee courthouse for Florida's first Black Supreme Court justice.

Joyce turned down an in-person town hall in early 2025, skipped the one his constituents held anyway, and holds telephone events where the president of Indivisible Blair County says his staff 'cherrypicks' the questions.

On April 6, 2025, CBS reported it could find no criminal record for 179 of the 238 men shipped to CECOT. On April 7, Crank introduced H. Res. 295 endorsing the removals. Two months later a federal judge ruled they were unlawful.
H.R. 8413 preempts any state law that 'relates to' its provisions — California's Delete Act, Illinois' biometric privacy law, Washington's health-data law. It has no private right of action, so you can't sue. Comcast's PAC has given Joyce $35,000.
He voted no on the infrastructure law in 2021. In 2024 it sent $242 million to replace the Cape Fear Memorial Bridge in his own district. When Trump froze the money in 2025, the chairman of the House Highways Subcommittee called the freeze a hunt for waste and fraud.
