I\u2019m relieved those reassignments are no longer moving forward, and that these public servants can remain focused on helping people navigate the immigration system safely and lawfully.\u201d\n\nRep. Balint\u2019s statement regarding the original reports of Vermont USCIC employees being deployed to Minnesota can be viewed here.\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T21:01:44Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://balint.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=651"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.9264256805181503, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
