U.S. Congressional candidate Blake Masters (R-AZ-8) said that he will work with President Trump to "start deporting illegal aliens by the millions."

"This video alone should be enough to cost every single Democrat politician their job in November," Masters posted on X, sharing a video of a Fox News report on the arrest of an illegal alien who allegedly attacked a New York City police officer.

"We need to start deporting illegal aliens by the millions in America," said Master. "I'll work with President Trump to get it done."

The Fox News video showed footage of multiple different illegal immigrants after they were released by the NYPD following arrests for assaulting officers. Many of them laughing at the cameras or giving the middle finger to reporters. All were released without bail. 

Masters is one of four candidates currently running in the Republican primary to represent the 8th Congressional District. The district is currently represented by U.S. Rep. Debbie Lesko (R), who announced last year that she will be retiring at the end of the current term.

Masters announced last week that his campaign has raised $1.3 million to date.

He ran for U.S. Senate in 2022, losing to incumbent U.S. Sen. Mark Kelly (D) by a vote of 51.4% to 46.5%. Kelly reportedly outspent Masters by $66 million in that race.

After growing up and attending high school in Tucson, Masters graduated from Stanford University and received his J.D. from Stanford Law School. He then co-founded legal research startup Judicata.

He is co-author of the bestselling business book, “Zero to One: Notes on a Startup” with Peter Thiel, and served as president of the Thiel Foundation. Masters married his wife, Catherine, in 2012 and they have three sons.
