It is absolutely unacceptable to detain children and to have the United States of America, the strongest, best country in the world, treat children this way.

I will not support this Committee moving forward with this legislation that allows the Federal Government to indefinitely detain children.

That was an affront to American values, and Americans all across this country from all walks of life objected to it.

Earlier this year, we were faced with the humanitarian crisis that President Trump created on our Southern Border.

DHS should discontinue the general use of family detention.

The American Academy of Pediatrics. It strongly opposes long-term detention of children.

That is, frankly, not who we are as a country, and it is not what the United States should become.

We need to really focus on it.

Add me to the group that would call for the application of common sense here when it comes to protecting people at large events.

As we discuss the importance of new technologies that will make our transportation systems more efficient and safer and overall more accessible and effective, we also have to work to ensure that new transportation technologies serve…

The Republican tax law was the wrong medicine at the wrong time. The solution is not to take more of it.

The notion that we would cut back after other priorities, like big tax cuts have been provided, is really astonishing to me.

I asked you to look into the adequacy of our foreign partners in addressing insider threats.

The request in the budget... signals your support for cutting the only Federal programs that would help to secure the public areas of airports.

I think we can all do better with it.

I have looked very closely into the insider threat issue.

We never stand for the proposition that ours is always the best in every single aspect.

I would suggest... they allow us to vet their workers against our database.

We are very lucky to have you.

Entire communities and local economies in our country depend on this program, which makes air travel possible where it otherwise would not be.

Part of the problem is that women and people of color are not joining these fields at equitable rates.

Thank you to our nominees for being here today, for your willingness to serve your country.

I also wanted to follow up with you on something we just touched on in our conversation.

It's critical to our democracy.

We introduced together the AIRWAVES Act, which sets goals and timelines.
