I am very pleased that we will hear testimony today from Judge Carnes, representing the Judicial Conference of the United States, and from Julie Stewart, the founder and president of Families Against Mandatory Minimum Sentences.
Gutierrez expresses gratitude for the witnesses at the hearing on mandatory minimum sentences.

I denounced on the House floor the homophobic and transphobic slurs and policies of Thomas Rivera Schatz.
If we truly want to solve the issue of status for the island, we need to give Puerto Ricans the tools to design a true self-determination process.
This must also be taken together with the fact that Puerto Ricans have never favored independence.
To pretend to continue a fruitless and pointless discussion by including independence or free association in a self-determination process, is a mockery of the democratic vote of Puerto Ricans.
