I know that Mr. Sessions is not a lawyer and I would not suggest he intended to mislead this House.

This is about whether we deport kids or not, but it is also about whether we engage in rhetoric that is injurious to the public because it distorts the actual facts of this case. I urge my colleagues to vote against this resolution.
