I am proud to speak today in support of the Great American Outdoors Act. I would like to thank my colleague from Arizona, the distinguished chairman, Chairman Grijalva, for his leadership; and also thank my colleague from South Carolina…
As I referenced, I stand today in support of this amendment offered by myself and the distinguished chair of the House Natural Resources Committee, Chairman Grijalva, which would amend H.R. 6395 to add the text of two bills that have…
While I disagree with my colleague, Mr. Tipton, on this particular issue, I do appreciate his friendship and his service to the House for many years. I would just offer three closing arguments. First, for those who argue that these public…
I inquire as to how much time remains. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Colorado has 1\1/2\ minutes remaining.
Well, as I am sure you are aware, there are multiple lawsuits pending against GEO where allegations have been made precisely on that basis.
Rep. Neguse requested information about ICE policies on disciplinary sanctions related to detainee cleaning tasks.
Rep. Neguse asked if GEO would commit to giving detainees' families and lawyers 24-hour notice prior to transferring a detainee.

The Justice in Policing Act of 2020 heralds the urgency of transformation and the promise for all Americans of equal justice under the law.
We believe that all police agencies should obtain some type of accreditation before receiving Federal funds.
Thank you, Ms. Gupta. Your testimony certainly underscores why the Justice in Policing Act is so necessary.
It takes a village to allow for the persistent, systematic murder of Black Americans by our government, and this has got to stop.
It takes more training hours to be a hairdresser than to be a police officer.
What African Americans need to realize equal justice under the law is for selective enforcement and police brutality to end.
The Justice in Policing Act is a critical step to stopping the state-sanctioned police brutality against Black Americans.
We need to abandon that dangerous rhetoric, we need to abandon the idea of 'law and order,' and we need to embrace a 'peace and justice' mantra that enhances public safety and assures justice for all.
We also believe that we need to immediately rescind the Sessions memo so that the Department's Civil Rights Division, the Department of Justice's Civil Rights Division, can immediately restore the use of consent decrees where appropriate.
For Tamir Rice, a child who was shot by police while playing in a park with a toy gun, we need to help communities reform public safety and change the culture of law enforcement.
We don't know this week how many times an officer used a Taser or fired their weapon or how many times individuals were injured while they were in police custody.
It is past time that Congress banned chokeholds and other harmful police tactics that have led to far too many deaths.
For Eric Garner--and yes, Philonise, for your brother George--we need to outlaw chokeholds.
