On August 6, Hoffman wrote: ” Democrat State Senator openly impeding ICE efforts to deport illegal alien criminals in AZ. She’s doxxing ICE agents & openly putting the lives of American law enforcement at risk. I’ll be filing an ethics complaint. She should be expelled from the Arizona legislature.”

– Charles Styles: 54 yr old Mexican alien CONVICTED of CHILD MOLESTATION & probation violation

– Oma Alberto Almodovar Mondragon: 29 yr old Mexican FUGITIVE wanted in Mexico for” He repeated this update moments later in another tweet with similar content (link).

The posts did not include further details regarding the actions attributed to the unnamed Democratic State Senator or evidence supporting Hoffman’s claims.
