Today, I'm proud to discuss the accomplishments of President Trump and all that he has accomplished since he's taken office in the White House.

But first, I would be remiss if I did not address the disturbing actions that we saw last week.

There were members of this very committee that took part in an action at Delaney Hall on May 9th that need to be addressed.

I served as a member of Congress in this body for eight years, and I understand the importance of congressional oversight.

What happened on May 9th was not oversight.

It was a political stunt that put the safety of our law enforcement officers, our agents, our staff and our detainees at risk.

Here are the facts.

As a vehicle approached the security gate at Delaney Hall Detention Center, a mob of protesters, including three members of Congress, stormed the gate and they trespass into the detention facility.

We have footage of those members of Congress slamming their bodies into our law enforcement officers, shoving them, screaming profanities in their faces, striking them with their fists and otherwise assaulting law enforcement.

The behavior was lawlessness and it was beneath this body.

Members of Congress should not break into detention centers or federal facilities.

Had these members requested a tour, we certainly would have facilitated a tour.

As a body knows, there are proper protocols and procedures that must be abided by.

These congressional members and staff visit our facilities all of the time, and these members could follow the policies that have been in place and they would have been followed.

We would have facilitated a tour of this important facility.

However, even after these members assaulted our federal law enforcement officers, we still provided them with a tour of that facility.

I'm glad that at their press conference following the tour, these members acknowledged that Delaney Hall is in good condition and meets deferral standards.

Charges made by these politicians that Delaney does not have the proper permitting is false.

We have valid permits and inspections for plumbing and electricity and fire codes that have been cleared.

Lastly, I'd like to remind Americans and everyone in this body who is detained in this detention facility are murderers, rapists, known terrorists.

Mr. teen gang members, drug traffickers and other heinous actors.

I hope that those members of Congress will so passionately protest on behalf of the American victims that they were elected to represent and not just violent criminals who are in this country illegally.
