“Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague from Virginia for her powerful words and for hosting this Special Order, and I thank the Congressional Black Caucus. I certainly want to thank my colleague from Georgia (Mrs.”

“I know the routine mantra that we just have to lock them up. We need more penalties, more enforcement, no bail, and all of that. The problem is that all of these first-time shooters, many of them mass shooters, we didn't have a chance to keep them in jail because they never went.”

“Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague from Virginia for hosting this Congressional Black Caucus special hour. I also thank my colleague from Georgia, who just finished speaking. I appreciated the powerful statement that she made and the insightful comments that she shared with us tonight.”

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to address a deeply troubling pattern of behavior that strikes at the very heart of the American justice system. It is a pattern where self-enrichment is rewarded, oversight is blindfolded, and rule of law is bent to serve the powerful.”

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today in observance of National Police Week. Over 300 names were added to the wall in memoriam this week. One of those names was my cousin, Earl Ivey, Jr.”

“Mr. Speaker, I was in the Appropriation Committee voting on an amendment related to DACA. Had I been present, I would have voted NAY on Roll Call No. 130.”

“Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague from Virginia, and I thank the Congressional Black Caucus for putting this together and coming forth with this information and giving me a chance to speak.”

“I think it is critical for us, as Congressman Jackson pointed out, to make sure we recall that the advances that have been made during the African-American movements and efforts have been not just African Americans, they have been Americans across the spectrum working together, fighting for justice, striving together to make a difference.”

“Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague from Virginia for hosting this event, and I also thank the Congressional Black Caucus for the focus on this issue tonight. I was a child in Rocky Mount, North Carolina, in the late 1960s.”

“Not only that, you had African Americans who came back from service after World War II, including my father-in-law, and what they found was an America that was still deeply violent, deeply racial.”

“Mr. Speaker, I would say at this point, though, that because it is unconstitutional, I urge my Republican colleagues to oppose this bill. I urge all of my colleagues to oppose this bill.”

“Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for yielding, and I rise in strong opposition to the gentleman's bill. I appreciate my colleague from Louisiana. We have had a chance to serve together on committees.”

“County now--but sometimes when they start high-speed chases in D.C., they go into Prince George's County, Montgomery County, or Northern Virginia, and we lost someone during a high-speed chase on the Baltimore-Washington Parkway; another stolen car case.”

“When that liability arises from a car chase ending in death that didn't make any sense to a jury, the city could be on the hook for millions of dollars.”

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today with deep concern over the weaponization of ICE by the Trump administration. Just this weekend, I had a chance to see Trump Border Czar Tom Homan talking about how the administration is conducting the sweeps on the streets and that they are doing it to prioritize public safety and national security.”

“Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for yielding and for organizing this Special Order hour honoring the life of the late colleague of ours, Congressman John Lewis.

We need to get into good trouble now more than ever.”

“Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleagues from Ohio and California for hosting this event today.
