And when the feds needed water, they bought it or trucked it in. Then they said, \u2018Why buy it, when we can steal it?\u2019 Our ranchers follow the state\u2019s water laws. DHS doesn\u2019t, and it appears they don\u2019t care.\u201d said Vasquez.\n\nWatch the full speech HERE.\n\nImage", 1, "2026-07-23T07:31:02Z", "2026-07-23T07:32:26Z"]], "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://vasquez.house.gov/media/press-releases/icymi-rep-vasquez-defends-luna-county-ranchers-water-rights-and-livelihoods"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.7373313419520855, "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"}
