I thank Mr. Nadler. Mr. Speaker, I agree with Mr. Gianforte and with Mr. Cuellar. We have outstanding men and women in Immigration and Customs Enforcement. I am not going to do anything to disparage the many good men and women that we have, but I will never, never support these abominable policies coming out of the Trump administration that tear families apart, that these men and women are having to implement because the White House has decided they are going to go into the immigrant communities and tear them apart. This is a piece of legislation that is not necessary, and I say that to my friends on the Republican side. We support the good men and women in law enforcement as Democrats, but I will not support any of these policies or even look like I am supporting any of the immigration policies of this President. They are terrible, and they are hurting this country. I urge a vote of ``present'' on this particular piece of legislation.
