Mr. Speaker, I really appreciate the gentleman from South Carolina. Ellen Gutierrez Saez, Johan Salvo Alacon, and Manuel Eduardo Fuentes Gomez, three Chilean citizens living illegally in the United States, were arrested and believed to be part of a South American criminal gang operating in the United States whose members commit robberies, fraud, and traffic stolen property. That group is believed to be responsible for at least 111 robbery incidents since February 2023. Nathan Kharim Melendez is wanted in Mexico for the criminal charge of causing multiple injuries with a vehicle and abandoning the scene, fleeing the scene. He has been wanted by Mexican authorities since March of this year when he was named as the suspected driver of a car that ran over a 30-year-old woman, her 5-year-old daughter, and 2-year- old nephew. He was arrested in Phoenix, Arizona, in June of this year. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from Arizona (Mr. Crane), one who knows the ravages of illegal migration in Arizona.
