                              IMMIGRATION

  (Ms. BARRAGAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. BARRAGAN. Mr. Speaker, yesterday President Trump signed an 
executive order, an order that he said was to stop separation of 
families at the border. This is a policy that he caused, and he has now 
taken a victory lap. It is ridiculous.
  My response: To stop family separation once and for all, President 
Trump must end his failed zero-tolerance policy. Replacing family 
separation with indefinite family detention is not the solution. We 
cannot continue to overwhelm our immigration system and incarcerate 
families who pose no threat to the United States to please immigration 
hardliners.
