These numbers are troubling as we are because even more acute when you look at the existing racial, socioeconomic, and geographic disparities.

Neither these bills nor the Committee's other efforts have gone far enough to address many of the underlying challenges facing this sector.

I'm happy to once again support my colleague Mr. Engel's bill, to rein in this dangerous practice.
