Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett (D) criticized President Donald Trump after he said he deserved the Nobel Peace Prize more than anyone else, arguing his administration continues to face serious domestic and international challenges, including ongoing immigration enforcement and overseas conflict.
During a recent interview, President Donald Trump argued that he deserved the Nobel Peace Prize because of his role in resolving international conflicts.
President Donald Trump: "I would say, I should have won that award more than anybody that ever received the Nobel Peace Prize because nobody settled wars. I settled eight of them."
Rep. Crockett pushed back against Trump's comments in a post on X, criticizing his administration's handling of immigration enforcement and foreign policy.
Rep. Jasmine Crockett: "This self-obsessed president keeps whining about not getting the Nobel Peace Prize, but under his administration, a father was just killed by ICE. Children are still locked away in detention centers. And this war he promised he'd end? It's still going."
Crockett's remarks referenced both the fatal shooting of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, who was killed during an ICE enforcement operation in Houston, and the ongoing war between the U.S. and Iran.
She has previously called for accountability and an independent investigation into the incident in Houston.
Rep. Crockett: "No Family should have to spend the day after their father was killed demanding answers. ICE must be held accountable."
Lorenzo Salgado Araujo should be here with us today.
No family should have to spend the day after their father was killed demanding answers.
ICE must be held accountable. We deserve a full, independent, transparent investigation — now.

Trump's comments about deserving the Nobel Peace Prize drew criticism from Crockett, who argued the administration should focus on addressing ongoing issues involving immigration enforcement and unresolved international conflicts rather than discussing awards.
