I remain concerned about conditions under which families and children are being held by the Border Patrol.

the surge of migrant families is unprecedented, but it is not an excuse for the conditions that we saw.

We have been disturbed and disappointed by these reports of inappropriate discussions on Facebook, and humiliating treatment and cruelty towards migrants.

I think that is where the problem is with ICE and where you have your bad reputation for a lot of people in this country.

It is concerning how this administration has implemented policy after policy that seems singularly focused on reducing the flow of migrants without regard to our country's asylum laws.

I certainly believe that we have to address the Flores settlement agreement.

Your predecessor also instituted cruel and inhumane policies of ripping children from their families, which you helped to implement.

I look forward to knowing what you are doing to address reports collected by government case managers of the abuse and mistreatment of children in Border Patrol custody, specifically in Yuma, Arizona.

This would essentially ban all asylum claims for those traveling through Mexico.

a culture of dehumanization festers in the very agency charged with keeping us safe.

It disappoints me that your budget request is so unacceptable.

I am committed to working with you to ensure the IRS can continue to fulfill its mission now and in the years to come.

You include a $90 million cut to taxpayer services, which helped taxpayers navigate their personal finances.

Cuts like this make it clear that this administration does not prioritize enforcement of the tax laws.

As a staunch supporter of the U.S.-Israel relationship, I am disgusted by the Republicans' ongoing attempts to politicize serious issues related to anti-semitism and support for the U.S.-Israel partnership. The vast majority of members on…

I do hope you can accommodate Members of Congress who feel it is our responsibility to see the complete report.

I must say, it is extraordinary to evaluate hundreds of pages of evidence, legal documents, and findings based on a 22-month long inquiry and make definitive legal conclusions in less than 48 hours.

Since 2017, our Nation's Justice Department has too often failed to meet the needs of the American people.

Your additional expansion of the Global Gag Rule compromises our ability to support comprehensive, life-saving care to those most in need.

You have no directive to do that?

My judgment, it is vitally important that background checks are done thoroughly, as we know the results of incomplete information can be fatal.

While this report does not conclude that the President committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him.

I was delighted to hear that.

I believe the American people deserve to see the full report and to be trusted to make our own determinations.

Congress and this committee should work together with the Census Bureau to protect our most vulnerable communities.
