So how many times has the FBI provided notice to criminal defendants that face recognition was used in their case?

We should watch this technology closely and protect the rights of American citizens. We should also recognize that this can be a very valuable tool for law enforcement and to fight crime in our country.

That tells me there's a culture problem in law enforcement in this country.

I am concerned that the FBI is not fully complying with this notice obligation when it comes to the use of facial recognition.

The FBI's Black identity extremist designation could potentially categorize and criminalize Black activists and supportive organizations.

But looking at almost 25 percent of local and state law enforcement posting hateful things on social media, that tells me there's a culture problem in law enforcement in this country.

Probable cause is the standard for arrest. Beyond a reasonable doubt or the shadow of a doubt is the standard for conviction.

Would you agree that recent data and public social media posts indicate that infiltration by White supremacists is still a national security threat?

In 2006, the FBI warned of the potential consequences of White supremacist groups infiltrating local and state law enforcement.

If Members of Congress can be falsely matched with a mug shot data base, what should be the concern for the average American about the use of facial recognition?

I was allegedly misidentified using this technology along with 27 other Members of Congress--disproportionately black and brown members.

the use of facial recognition technology has already generated a heated debate on whether it is a necessary tool to combat crime or an unlawful breach of privacy.

the American people certainly do recognize the well-established fact that politicians and bureaucrats in the District of Columbia squander the money seized from the paychecks of working Americans.

I have fought for years to free people from prison who were wrongfully convicted and that is where this is going because of lax rules and regulations and technology.

Many Americans are dying from this poison pouring across our border. I would concur.

the prudent thing to do would be to hit the pause button.

securing our borders and maintaining our very sovereignty is perhaps the single most important mission the Federal Government should accomplish and is certainly not squandering.

we must protect the American people. We wouldn't want to gouging, would we?

Thank you, Madam Chairwoman.

Budgets for border security should be determined based upon the actual needs as expressed by the law enforcement professionals on the ground.

The Nation responded to this by restricting easy access to Lortab prescriptions and other opioid prescriptions, cracking down on doctor shops, et cetera, and this was largely effective.

I believe we face a cultural crisis in our country, and one of the major impacts of that crisis is an opioid challenge.

I encourage my colleagues to set aside their hatred for President Trump and work to address the crisis at the border.

A cultural crisis requires a cultural response, so let's talk about the genesis and the direction of this epidemic.

There is a growing humanitarian, National security, and illegal immigration crisis at the Southwest Border.
