U.S. Governors

If you seek to harm Maine people, you will have to go through me first.

We will not be intimidated — we will not be silenced.

I want to thank the President for his support and thank the thousands of Granite Staters who are supporting me.

While I am clearly disappointed, this is the most commonsense bill there is. So none of us get to vote for the President of France. I would vote for Macron, but I don't get to. Nobody that is not a U.S. citizen should be voting in our…

But I guess what I want to just spend a couple of minutes on is, why in the heck has the Trump administration been hitting the District of Columbia so unrelentingly? Let's look back. Just as downtown was starting to recover from the…

We've seen ICE discriminate against Latinos' families. We've seen as well mixed families where someone may be legal and others not.

This is uncharted territory, and yet you've got the president's own words, in many ways, raising concerns, because he says, well, gosh, we Republicans ought to take over elections in 15 states.

There is a very real threat, without reforms at ICE, that you could have ICE patrols around polling stations.

My fear is, now he sees the political winds turning against him, and he's going to try to interfere in the 2026 election, something a year ago I didn't think would be possible.

I believe immigrants are a strength and not a problem. That doesn't mean there aren't issues that we need to resolve, but I think it is high time that people in this Chamber talked about immigrants to this country and recognized the…

The fact that the acting president and CEO is a DOGE individual doesn't disqualify him from making this statement. It is corruption. Sure, it has been going on since the eighties, but so have a lot of things that are corrupt. We must…

I think it is time--not just because of the shutdown--it is time to advance these bills to the President's desk. I appreciate that colleagues are recognizing what we need to do is advance those bills and then focus in a very intense…

I think those parents in Minnesota can sleep better at night knowing that that person isn't free.

I have never met a family that ever said, oh, I wish you would have left that rapist free.

I would not listen to Governor Walz. He has a very bad track record.

I would hope that Mayor Frey... that he'll announce that he's going to start working with us to bring safety to the streets.

We're seeing it happen over and over again. We've seen over 100 different vehicle weaponized and attacking law enforcement officers.

Well, I think every day we get a murderer off the streets of Minneapolis, the public is safer.

We have no idea how many dangerous people are here.

We are following the exact same investigative and review process that we always have under ICE and under the Department of Homeland Security.

We're just so thankful that we have a president that's upholding the law and is determined to make sure that the laws are applied equally to everyone.

Every day we get a murderer off the streets of Minneapolis, the public is safer.

We hope that more people don't weaponize their vehicles like this.

We hope there's never another situation like this before.
