On the recordJanuary 31, 2017
I would plead for unanimous consent to bring up H.R. 724 to overturn President Trump's refugee ban so that individuals like Hameed Khalid Darweesh, who helped the U.S. military in Iraq and who has a special immigrant visa, won't be detained at JFK Airport for 19 hours. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Does the gentleman from Washington yield for the purpose of this unanimous consent request?
