Debbie Mucarsel-Powell

It is true that those who aren't fortunate enough to always have these rights and freedoms sometimes cherish them even more than those who have always had them.

Conduct like this is never acceptable. The woman was unarmed. She called 911 because she felt threatened.

We have to confront this crisis head-on.

There was no reason to subject someone to excessive force because of the color of their skin.

I can't believe what I am hearing, that this bill is political, that we have to wait, and that our constituents don't need help. I want my colleagues on the other side to tell my constituents in Florida who can't access their unemployment…

South Florida is hurting. My community is calling me in tears because they don't know how they are going to make payments or keep their businesses afloat, and hospital workers are afraid of losing their jobs. And to make matters worse…

As of this morning, the U.S. has the most COVID-19 cases worldwide. Over 1,200 have tragically lost their lives. In Florida alone, we have over 2,300 cases, with 652 in Miami-Dade County and 14 in Monroe County. South Florida is quickly…

I am in agreement. I urge the support of this agreement, and I yield back the balance of my time. The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the gentlewoman from Florida (Ms. Mucarsel-Powell). The question was taken; and…

Mass disenfranchisement has really--it has no place in our society.

I will continue to stand up for my community against any harmful policies or comments like the one the senator made.

The Cuban regime continues to oppress its people. It continues to cause unspeakable harm to thousands of families.

As the first South American member of Congress, I represent thousands of Cuban-American families that have fled the brutal dictatorship under the Castro regime. And, yes, they are completely unacceptable.

While he was so proud of his work on protecting the Second Amendment, what he did not mention is that this week is National Gun Survivors Week.

I think we all agree that the current state of our immigration court system is not only completely inefficient; it is truly appalling.

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 17, line 6, insert ``corals,'' after ``submerged aquatic plants,''. Page 17, line 18, insert…

The United States is a beacon of freedom, a place where anyone can get a fair shot, but also where even the most powerful are held to account.

I did not come to impeach the President. But this President has violated the rule of law.

Our country was founded on the premise that our elected officials are elected by the people. But President Trump doesn't share these ideas.

The President's pattern of behavior is incredibly disturbing. Russia, Ukraine, China--he's inviting three countries to help him in his reelection campaign.

President Trump doesn't share these ideas. He has and continues to demand foreign interference into our elections.

In Florida we're extremely concerned about the security of our elections and the potential for election interference by foreign governments, especially Russia.

And, Mr. Goldman, I want to come back and highlight what I think is the biggest national security threat, and that's foreign interference into our elections.

As an immigrant, when I became a citizen to this great Nation, I took an oath to protect and defend the Constitution from all foreign and domestic enemies.

We just can't wait any longer.
