The title of today's hearing, 'Overcrowding and Prolonged Detention in CBP Facilities,' barely begins to convey the inhumane conditions children and families in CBP custody are experiencing in facilities along the southern border.

We are requiring her to testify before Congress about her multiple violations of Federal law, her waste of taxpayer funds, and her actions that compromise public confidence in the integrity of the Federal Government.

She will be greatly missed. Madam Speaker, I now urge all my colleagues to support this bill, and I yield back the balance of my time.

It gives me great pleasure to yield 1 minute to the gentlewoman from California (Ms. Pelosi), the Speaker of the House, someone who has done more for this than anyone else. Without the gentlewoman's strong support, this bill never would…

I appreciate the opportunity to participate in the hearing the Committee is holding to set the record straight on congressional avenues for addressing presidential misconduct.

The President has said he will resist all congressional subpoenas

One in five adults have student loans, and approximately 20 percent of the outstanding amount of these loans are in default.

If you drag this student into a debt that is unimaginable, unpayable, your institution is going to be on the line, too.

Thirty-five percent of all student loan defaults are students from for-profit colleges and universities.

Section 5's preclearance provision broke this legal logjam and helped to stop this discriminatory practice.

Six years ago today, however, the Supreme Court issued its disastrous decision in Shelby County v. Holder.

The Voting Rights Act of 1965 is one of the most effective civil rights statutes that has ever been enacted into law.

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler said there is no crisis at the border.

Without the Religious Freedom Restoration Act the fundamental religious rights of all Americans to worship as their consciences dictate will remain threatened.

Reckless, stained attacks on the integrity and legitimacy of individual justices and judges have become all too common.

I do solemnly swear that I will administer justice without respect to persons, and will do equal right to the poor and the rich, and will faithfully and impartially discharge and perform all the duties incumbent on me, according to the…

We should ask whether there needs to be greater transparency with respect to information regarding the Federal judiciary.

Congress has an interest in ensuring that this hard-earned reputation is maintained.

The Federal judiciary is the pillar of our Nation's government, an institution nearly synonymous with upholding the rule of law.

The White House pleaded a non-existent absolute immunity and that will not stay.
