Congressman Maxwell Alejandro Frost, representing Florida's 10th district, took to social media on April 7, 2025, to address current political and immigration issues. The tweets highlighted recent discussions with legal experts and community leaders regarding voting rights, and an incident involving the detention of an international student.

On April 7, 2025, Frost expressed his honor at hosting Representative Jamie Raskin in Central Florida the previous week. According to his tweet, the visit comprised "a series of roundtables and forums with legal experts and community leaders." The discussions covered "ongoing attacks on voting rights at the federal and state levels, the rule of law under this political climate," among other pertinent issues.

Later the same day, Frost highlighted the case of Felipe Zapata Velasquez, an international student from the University of Florida on an F-1 visa, claiming that Velasquez had become "the Trump Admin’s latest kidnapping victim." The tweet noted that despite being in the process of renewing his visa, Velasquez was detained at the Krome Detention Center, leaving his family without updates on his status.

Demonstrating his commitment to the issue, Frost declared that, as a member of the Oversight and Reform Committee, he would utilize his position to seek resolution and answers. As stated in another tweet, "I’m going to be doing everything in my power to fight this and get answers."
