I don't understand how deporting critically ill kids is consistent with any of these values.

But Congress created USCIS separate from ICE and CBP to serve immigrants.

I actually greatly appreciate that, because we have been trying to get to the bottom of that question for quite some time.

So, it was your decision.

So what the Trump Administration is effectively trying to do is to force the state to lower its standards. Correct?

I find it quite ironic that Republicans want to consistently invoke states' rights to regulate a woman's body but apparently that is not good enough to regulate a car.

This is a hearing about California.

I am--I would like to do my job, and I try not to get out of my job at every opportunity.

I represent a community--I represent the Bronx, and we have some of the highest rates of childhood asthma in the country.

This was the largest data scandal with respect to your company that had catastrophic impacts on the 2016 election, and you don't know?

Can you explain why you have named the Daily Caller, a publication well-documented with ties to white supremacists, as an official fact-checker for Facebook?

I think you, of all people, can appreciate using a person's past behavior in order to determine, predict, or make decisions about future behavior.

Ms. Gunasekara, you're here advocating--I mentioned--I heard you mention the CO2 Coalition a few times.

If we are not willing to do what's right, then we are responsible for our children's lives and our children's children's lives.

The environment should never be politicized.

We do a disservice to our most vulnerable communities when we don't provide these new sets of opportunities for them.

You know, my own grandfather died in the aftermath of Hurricane Maria.

So it's around 6,000 predominantly Black and brown lives that are wiped out.
