Congressman Juan Ciscomani, representing Arizona’s 6th district, shared several updates on his official Twitter account on March 18, 2025. These posts highlight recent developments and engagements related to border security, infrastructure partnerships, and the mining industry in Arizona.

On March 18, 2025, Congressman Ciscomani announced the closure of a soft-sided processing facility operated by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) in Tucson. He stated that this development allows "our U.S. Border Patrol agents" to be reassigned to their primary duties along the border as intended by their mission. The congressman expressed enthusiasm for this change in operational focus "Great news! @CBP's Tucson soft-sided processing facility is shut down."

Later that day, Congressman Ciscomani emphasized the importance of federal-local collaborations for Arizona's infrastructure needs. He met with Pinal County Supervisor Steve Miller to discuss key issues including critical infrastructure and water security for Arizona and neighboring regions dependent on the Colorado River basin "Forging strong federal-local partnerships is key to delivering for #AZ06."

In another engagement on March 18, 2025, Congressman Ciscomani attended a Mining Industry Lunch in Casa Grande where he interacted with miners who play a crucial role in Arizona's economy. Reflecting on the significance of mining in the state known as "The Copper State," he highlighted his appreciation for those contributing to powering Arizona "As the Copper State, mining is vitally important to Arizona's economy."
