In the Department of Justice's budget, you are requesting $437.6 million for protecting civil rights.

My colleague Congressman Chip Roy has twice requested a copy of the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act prosecution data.

Will you provide these in the next 30 days?

With the additional money you asked for the Civil Rights Division, I hope that you prosecute illegal voting.

You must be a U.S. citizen. Okay, great. All right.

So what on earth, what justifies that kind of an increase for the FBI?

Why is the FBI's literally six times what Attorney General Merrick Garland's reception funds are?

Have you ever investigated a Second Amendment rights violation?

Are you seriously saying that three warrants a day is too much of a burden for the FBI to protect our fourth amendment rights?

As you know, the government agencies typically need a warrant issued by a judge before they can access American citizens' phone calls, texts, internet searches and emails.

We don't only pay you to warn of us a threat... but we also pay you to prevent and protect us from the threats.

I think because of your inability to lead and also shape the policies in the DOJ and at the White House we are now in a more precarious position than we were--I would submit than we were on September 10 of 2001.

I give very little credence in either your ability to do this job or frankly lead the brave agents below you.

Last year, Congress had to step in and enact H.J. Res. 26, my resolution of disapproval...

Well, to the taxpayer, that sounds great. I like that. Well, I appreciate that very much then. Well, thank you for saving $2 million.

An armed society is a polite society, or the best way to deal with a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun.

There are startling increases in crime as a result of the policies created and enacted by the out-of-control DC City Council and the DC Mayor.

Crime in our Nation's capital is out of control.

The radical, pro-criminal DC City Council has systemically gutted the Metropolitan Police budget...

You mentioned that one recommendation had not been taken--had not been completed?

I thank Representative Roy. I thank him for his work in the fight to secure our border. I yield to the gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Good).

I thank the gentleman from Louisiana. Those are strong words, and those are correct words. Now I yield to the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Roy).

I thank my friend from Arizona for those inspiring words. I agree with him absolutely, we need to bring up our border legislation every solitary week. Now, I yield to the gentleman from Louisiana (Mr. Higgins).

How can you do that? How is this a Federal authority? Where is it in the Constitution that you are going to spend another $8 billion?

I get that, I get that, but what I see is that what you are doing is you are putting a Federal foot on the ability of people to be an independent contractor.
