Ra\u00fal Labrador (R-ID), Chairman of the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration and Border Security, released the following statement today in advance of President Trump\u2019s speech in Arizona:\r\n\r\n\t\u201cI agree with President Trump that border wall funding must be included in the next government funding bill. President Trump would never have become President without his promise to enforce our immigration laws, and I want to do everything I can to help him succeed. Securing the border is a critical step, but not the only step, in ending illegal immigration as we know it. The House has already passed Kate\u2019s Law and the No Sanctuary for Criminals Act, with my support. Now it\u2019s time for the Senate to act. We also need a House floor vote on the Davis-Oliver Act, which I introduced in May to bolster interior enforcement. The time for excuses is over, and the time for action is now.\u201d\r\n\r\n\tOn May 24, the House Judiciary approved Rep. Labrador\u2019s bill, H.R. 2431, the Davis-Oliver Act. This bill gives states and localities the authority to enforce federal immigration laws, strengthens the ability of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers to do their job, and makes it more difficult for terrorists and criminals to enter our country.\r\n\r\n\tOn June 29, Rep. Labrador voted for and the House passed Kate\u2019s Law and the No Sanctuary for Criminals Act. Kate\u2019s Law increases penalties for deported felons who return to the U.S. The No Sanctuary for Criminals Act combats dangerous sanctuary policies that shield illegal immigrants from federal immigration enforcement. These bills include provisions from the Davis-Oliver Act.", 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://labrador.house.gov/index.cfm?sectionid=49&itemid=1120"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.67368957772851, "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"}
