WASHINGTON – Today, Congressman French Hill (AR-02), issued the following statement after voting for a resolution to support U.S. ICE officers: “Our ICE officers work tirelessly to protect Americans, stop human trafficking along the border, thwart drug cartels from entering and operating in our country, and much more. I’ve personally met with ICE officers and have seen them directly in the line of duty on my four visits to the southwest border. With the shortage of border manpower, now is not the time to remove our brave law enforcement officers. That idea is both wrong and reckless. It’s shameful that 133 Democrats voted ‘present’ on this resolution instead of supporting our ICE officers, who deserve nothing but our utmost respect and appreciation.” Background: H. Res. 990 expresses the continued support of the House of Representatives for United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the officers and personnel that carry out the mission of ICE. |
