Joe Morelle: “I warn Republicans that a vote against this motion to commit is a vote…”

On the recordFebruary 11, 2026

I warn Republicans that a vote against this motion to commit is a vote to send American citizens' data to the Department of Homeland Security. A vote against this MTC is a vote to put Kristi Noem and Donald Trump and ICE and the Department of Justice in charge of the midterm elections this fall. Mr. Speaker, I urge all to vote ``yes'' on the motion to commit because Kristi Noem should not control our elections. Donald Trump should not control our elections. We, the American people, the people of the United States, control our elections. Mr. Speaker, I urge defeat of the main motion and support of the motion to commit, and I yield back the balance of my time.
