Madam Speaker, ever since President Biden has taken office, he has been laser-focused on overturning every great initiative from the previous administration, regardless of how good it was for the American people. Today, I want to shed light on President Biden's tragic reversal of Operation Talon. Operation Talon was a program run by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to capture illegal alien sex offenders in America and deport them. Sex offenders commit some of the most unspeakable and despicable crimes imaginable. We monitor where they are in the United States when those individuals are here legally. Now we have no idea where they are when they are here illegally. Biden's misguided reversal threatens the physical and mental health of American children and their families. Even setting aside the debate about illegal immigration, we should all be able to agree that sex offenders who are in this country illegally should be deported. Of all things that are common sense and bipartisan, we should agree that sex offenders are criminals and are a risk to our citizens. To not deport these individuals just because the present administration wants to erase the last administration is unconscionable. I strongly urge President Biden's reversal of Operation Talon and urge him to reinstate it immediately. ____________________
