I rise this afternoon to speak to America about Abrego Garcia, the alleged MS-13 member and illegal alien who the Trump administration deported back home to El Salvador. I would like to ask my Democrat colleagues this question: Where was your outrage when the Biden administration allowed millions of undocumented illegals into our country? Where was your outrage when my own constituents, the Corcoran family, were crying over the body of their child who was killed at the hands of an illegal? Where were you when Laken Riley and many other Americans were slaughtered by illegal aliens who were allowed into our country under your open-border policies? Now you want to go on TV and act outraged about Abrego Garcia being deported? Give me a break. Here are the facts. He was pulled over by the Tennessee Highway Patrol for speeding with an expired license. He was detained. He had folks in his vehicle that were apparently not American citizens. Then he was ordered by Biden's FBI to be released. In court documents, his wife even said: ``At this point, I am afraid to be close to him.'' She goes on to say: ``I have multiple photos, videos of how violent he can be . . . '' When Democrats grandstand on the deportation of a wife-beating El Salvadorian, MS-13 gang member and chant ``Bring him home,'' I have good news for you. He is home, and he will never be able to call America home. ____________________

I am proud to support this bill to honor Reverend Harold Middlebrook. I should have said in my notes earlier that there was an Urban League dinner, and Dr. Middlebrook, I thought, kind of had carried a heavy load his whole life. I…
