Fedorchak Stands Firm on Trump Administration Policies During Town Hall
GRAND FORKS — U.S. Rep. Julie Fedorchak reaffirmed her support for President Trump during a virtual town hall on Thursday, despite constituents expressing concerns about trade and immigration policies. Of the twelve questions posed, half focused on tariffs and deportation strategies.
Fedorchak, a first-term Republican representative from North Dakota, defended the administration’s tariff strategy, stating that many trade relationships are not "free or fair" to Americans. She emphasized Trump’s efforts to enhance these deals globally.
When confronted with questions about mass deportations, she expressed her belief that many targeted individuals are involved in criminal activities, such as drug trafficking. "There’s a lot of good people who want to live here legally," she stated, acknowledging the complexities of U.S. immigration.
Regarding proposed Medicaid cuts, which alarmed some callers, Fedorchak discussed the need for reform to reduce waste. She highlighted potential savings through tougher eligibility checks and proposed work requirements for "able-bodied, working-age people."
Nearly 2,000 viewers tuned in to the event, marking it as a productive engagement, although previous town halls received backlash over their virtual format. Fedorchak’s communication adviser noted the wide range of questions from constituents.
