"The number of CBP agents under investigation for a large variety of transgressions is extremely concerning."
"I worry the integrity of the investigations is at risk."
"I would urge Secretary Mayorkas and the Office of Inspector General at the Department of Homeland Security to have these agents investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigations."
"Their bipartisan work to correct the misguided Carcieri ruling demonstrates how Democrats and Republicans can work together on this Subcommittee for Indian Country."
"Mr. Cole's bill would simply restore the Secretary of the Interior's authority to take land into trust for all tribes, regardless of their date of Federal recognition."
"I believe that we need a clean Carcieri fix."
"We believe strongly that the solution is not singling out one tribe for favorable treatment to the detriment of others."
"The passage of single-tribe legislation will inevitably diminish the political will to achieve additional Carcieri fixes."
"The passage of this legislation would also set a dangerous precedent for sacred sites."
"This bill would address the long-standing inequities caused by the U.S. Supreme Court's 2009 decision in Carcieri v. Salazar."
"I am always pleased that this Committee is as bipartisan as it is in terms of finding solutions and working together for the issues that are presented here."
"I look forward to working with you, Madam Chair, and the other members of the Subcommittee to move this bipartisan bill in a similar bipartisan manner."
