Was the shooter killed by police?

Would you also agree with me that gang and gang Members are responsible for upwards of 90 percent of all violent crimes in this country?

Our country is facing a serious public health epidemic, one that is causing severe harm.

It is critical FDA and CDC explain today what actions they are taking, and what more we can be doing to protect consumers.

The policy we're examining today certainly runs counter, in my view, to our American values, counter to our Nation's founding, and counter to our morality and humanity.

The Muslim ban's most assured effect is to keep families apart.

Since its founding, this land has been a safe haven for immigrants seeking a home, those fleeing persecution, those desiring freedom to worship, and those placing their hope in the American Dream.

I find it very difficult, given the values that we care about in this country of keeping families together, that it wasn't in that 2-year-old's interest, as well as our National interest, to keep that mother and child together.

It is simply un-American to discriminate against immigrants solely because of where they come from for their religious beliefs.

the leaders of these departments have deliberately implemented policies that are not in the best interest of these vulnerable children, and that is not acceptable.

We do not think that at all.

We have engaged with the Administration and many of the groups represented here today to support the historic FIRST STEP Act.

I, myself, am not particularly interested in blaming, you know, one person or another for this influx of people, but today I am worried about the kids.

Commander Jonathan White--who is here again today--testified that he tried to raise the alarm within the administration about the damage that would be done by separations.

this promise lacks any credibility.

What is the Trump administration doing to make sure these children are properly cared for?

Frankly, we all agree it is a shameful chapter in this country's history.

We feared about the long-term traumatic consequences these children would endure for the rest of their lives.
