On the recordJuly 23, 2015
Madam Speaker, I yield myself 15 seconds to make very clear nothing in this bill requires any officer of the law to ask any question of any victims of crime about their immigration status. All it does is prohibit cities and counties from ordering their officers to not communicate with ICE or gather information from ICE about the status of individuals. This is a good bill. I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Smith), the former chairman of the Judiciary Committee and the current chairman of the Science Committee.
