Since President Trump\u2019s first term, I have fought the administration\u2019s baseless attacks on the immigrant community by supporting constructive legislation like the Neighbors Not Enemies Act and the NO BAN Act. This administration has escalated its attacks into a violent reign of terror.\n\n\"At least 3,800 children have been taken into ICE custody in the last year \u2013 including around 20 infants. ICE has denied due process, committed physical and psychological violence, created inhumane conditions, and harassed and killed U.S. citizens.\n\n\"For those who voted for today\u2019s bill, I demand they look in the eyes of Liam Ramos, age 5, who is being detained by ICE over a thousand miles away from his home. I demand they look in the eyes of Renee Good\u2019s widow and children. I demand they explain their vote to the 10-year-old girl with brain cancer who was deported to Mexico, away from lifesaving treatment. There is no justification for the trauma ICE and this administration have caused. There is no defense. It is not moral or lawful \u2013 it\u2019s cruel. A vote for this bill is a vote allowing more abuse from ICE.\n\n\"I will not rubber stamp this administration\u2019s lawless assault on our communities.\"", 1, "2026-04-04T05:28:40Z", "2026-04-04T05:30:10Z"]], "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://carson.house.gov/media/press-releases/congressman-carson-statement-dhs-appropriations-vote"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8062799461185932, "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"}
