Senator Chuck Grassley shared updates and commentary on various topics in a series of posts on November 14, 2025. Grassley expressed support for a fellow senator, highlighted a local business story, and commented on federal policy changes regarding migrant children.

In a post published at 01:10 UTC, Grassley wrote, “I hope for quick recovery for Sen Fetterman WE NEED HIM BACK IN SENATE”.

Later that day, at 16:33 UTC, he shared the history of a small business in Iowa: “Marlene Banwart & her late husband Ken started Country Maid in 1991 in the basement of their farm house 3 miles east of West Bend #99countymeetings https://t.co/O1ZGXDfUL8”.

At 21:52 UTC, Grassley commented on recent actions by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), stating: “I applaud DHS’s new initiative 2protect migrant children thru welfare checks using the 287g local law enforcement program I helped establish /Biden admin placed migrant kids w unvetted sponsors&refused 2conduct home studies 4 over 79K kids Im glad Pres Trump is undoing the damage”.

Chuck Grassley is a long-serving U.S. Senator from Iowa and has been active in legislative efforts related to immigration enforcement and oversight. The DHS’s use of the Section 287(g) program allows designated state and local law enforcement officers to collaborate with federal immigration authorities—a policy area where Grassley has played an influential role.
