This is not a condemnation of ICE. Read the language. It just says that they should engage in more vigorous oversight, and they are doing that with an inspector general's investigation. Look at this. This is from one of the women: Liberty, we are daughters and we are mothers, but you are stopping us from doing that. And H. Res. 1154 that I join in supporting, as well, condemning QAnon, talks about a better America, that we are not the way it is described in this resolution. I ask my colleagues to support this rule and the underlying bills because we are daughters and we are mothers, and what is going on there is an atrocious condition that should not exist. I ask my colleagues to join me, and I thank my good friend from Pennsylvania for yielding.
