the fact that they did not do that, and then when it launched this family separation policy nationwide was not just immoral and unjust, it was just simply mass incompetence, and the folks involved in that should just be ashamed of…

A 17-month-old baby that was ripped away from her parents. It took 2 months, 2 months to reunite her with her mother.

Do you consider the pilot program a success?

Ted Lieu on tonight. He is very concerned about how much information the American people are going to get from what the Mueller probe was able to collect.

He wants to have hearings and he wants to make the case to the American people about that tonight.

Even if Donald Trump gets through the obstacle of the courts, he still has to raid pots of money from certain accounts.

I don't see how the courts are going to say that somehow Congress intended through a national emergency statute to let him do this end around the constitution.

You have seen Republicans engage in this pattern where they will say all sorts of things, telling the President not to do X. And then when the president takes action X, they all come around and support him.

There's no way they would allow the president to override that by declaring this fake national emergency.

to really take money from that is really not a wise thing when you are trying to build a wall that's going to help solve this problem.

In fact, property crime has gone down as well, isn't that right?

You would agree with Donald Trump when last year he tweeted out that border crossings are at a 45-year low?

According to the Center for Disease Control's latest figures, 109 people die from gun violence every day.

We cannot be assisting a coalition that is engaging in war crimes.

That is why I support this resolution.

So I would suggest that the U.S. officials you are talking to are, in fact, lying because just based on public Saudi statements.

I happen to radically disagree with that both because I think we have much more leverage in this relationship than the Saudis do.

And let me thank Chairman Engel for creating a subcommittee of Oversight on the Foreign Affairs Committee to do exactly that.

I am going to ask you, Mr. Sullivan. It is true, right, that both international law as well as regulations in domestic law prevents U.S. personnel from engaging in war crimes?
