“I thank the gentlewoman from Indiana for yielding. Mr. Speaker, I would note, as a point of clarification, the legislation on the floor, there are two main parts. The first part that the gentleman from Massachusetts was referring to did not go through committee.

Again, I am trying to set the record straight. I am acknowledging that the first half didn't, but the first half, the part that deals with theft, burglary, and so forth, so that we can have an ICE detainer placed on someone, is designed to deal with, in part, what we are dealing with in response to Laken Riley.
