RAISING A QUESTION OF THE PRIVILEGES OF THE HOUSE
Ms. MICHELLE LUJAN GRISHAM of New Mexico. Mr. Speaker, I rise to a
question of the privileges of the House and offer the resolution
previously noticed.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will report the resolution.
[[Page H795]]
H. Res. 726
Whereas, on January 30, 2018, Representative Paul Gosar
tweeted a series of statements that included ``Today,
Congressman Paul Gosar contacted the U.S. Capitol Police, as
well as Attorney General Jeff Sessions, asking that they
consider checking identification of all attending the State
of the Union address and arresting any illegal aliens in
attendance.'';
Whereas Representative Gosar went on to tweet ``Any illegal
aliens attempting to go through security, under any pretext
of invitation or otherwise, should be arrested and
deported,'' said Congressman Gosar;
Whereas Representative Gosar's comments explicitly targeted
the DACA recipients that Members of Congress brought as their
guests to the State of the Union;
Whereas DACA recipients have been granted deferred action,
are contributing to this country, and have been thoroughly
vetted by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services;
Whereas Representative Gosar's actions to inappropriately
pressure the U.S. Capitol Police to detain and deport
Dreamers, who are staying in the country according to U.S.
Department of Homeland Security regulations, intimidated
these young people who are already facing fear and
uncertainty;
Whereas Representative Gosar abused the power in an attempt
to interfere with and politicize the United States Capitol
Police's efforts to provide for a safe, secure, and open
environment during the State of the Union;
Whereas Representative Gosar has violated clause 1 of rule
XXIII of the Code of Official Conduct which states that ``A
Member, Delegate, Resident Commissioner, officer or employee
of the House shall behave at all times in a manner that shall
reflect creditably on the House'': Now, therefore, be it:
Resolved, That the House of Representatives strongly
condemns Representative Paul Gosar for his inappropriate
actions that intimidated State of the Union guests and
discredited the House of Representatives.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The resolution qualifies.
