Even if the president decides to use \u2018prosecutorial discretion\u2019 to actively disregard immigration laws passed by the legislative branch, it is important that the House act NOW to rein in this rogue President threatening our fundamental system of checks and balances while disregarding the rule of law.\u201d\r\rBackground:\r\rThe full text of H.Res.757, which was introduced by Congressman Mo Brooks (AL-05) on Monday November 17, can be found HERE.\r\r\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0###", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "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": ["http://gosar.house.gov/press-release/rep-gosar-cosponsors-resolution-fight-back-against-executive-amnesty"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.5397481620311737, "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"}
