Mr. President, in the last 4 months, we have seen a string of horrific crimes in which the suspects are illegal immigrants. In December, a 16-year-old cheerleader was stabbed to death in Edna, TX. In my State, a 20-year-old nurse was run down by a drunk driver. In January, again in my State, a Special Olympian was struck by a drunk driver. In Campbell County, VA, a 14-year-old girl was sexually assaulted. In January, a 2-year-old was caught in the crossfire of gangs and murdered. In Kenner, LA, a 14-year-old girl was raped by another individual and stabbed by an illegal suspect. On February 22, Laken Riley was beaten to death while jogging in Athens, GA. Just last week, a 15-year-old mentally impaired girl was raped in Massachusetts. This must stop. My amendment is simple. It prohibits Labor, HHS, and Education funding from going to sanctuary cities that do not comply with requests from DHS to provide advance notice of date and time illegal aliens are scheduled to be released from local custody. We can stop these crimes. We must secure our border. Please vote yes. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Connecticut.
