It is opt out, but not opt in.

But the Orlando Pulse club shooter meets those qualifications, and he is--you're implying----

So that's the statement, but the actual charge, was it--was the actual charge domestic terrorism?

So it is possible that Jet Blue and Delta are working with the TSA to capture photos of passengers' faces without their explicit opt-in consent.

Is White supremacy not a global issue?

So because the perpetrator was Muslim, they are--doesn't it seem that because the perpetrator is Muslim----

We've seen White supremacist attacks that were clearly domestic terrorism.

Could you see how this could create issues and discrepancies with how violent extremism by Muslim perpetrators could potentially, even if it's unintentional, but that there are holes and there are gaps here, not through your fault or any…

We had a hearing a few weeks ago, the first in a series on White supremacy and its growing role in the United States right now.

How we implement Census 2020 will have long-lasting impact on our communities, our society, and our democracy.

This is an issue of democracy.

Will it threaten funding for SNAP, WIC, EBT?

This impact of undercounting cannot be understated and consequences will be borne by our society as a whole.

We need to be ensured the data of individuals are aggregate will be secured that also include the elimination of question related to the citizenship or immigration on the Census.

Yes, and even just from an organizing perspective, all of us, whenever we are up for reelection we need to count who is going to show up and cast a ballot on Election Day.

We do feel that this will make significant undercount in certain communities for those individuals who are incarcerated, and as stated today, what is at risk between representation and as well as funding, there are many communities…

So I--my congressional district includes Rikers Island, for example. All of the individuals held in Rikers Island, many held without being found guilty of a crime, are counted at Rikers and not counted in the communities that they actually…

So we have on the record that the--that the Census is under attack and that it is a targeted attack of specific communities by the Federal administration.

Will it threaten funding for Medicare and Medicaid?

Will it threaten funding for our infrastructure?

Will a Census undercount reduce or threaten funding for our public schools?

Rich or poor, documented or undocumented, land owning or not, whether you have been convicted of a crime, whether you have food on your table, no matter who you are you count and you should be counted in the United States of America.

The idea, the notion, that every single person who rests, who has their feet on the ground of the United States, in the land of the United States of America is to be counted, and that is written into our Constitution.

I think it is a--one of those routine practices that we do that we don't appreciate how radical it actually is.
