               WHERE IS THE HEART IN THIS ADMINISTRATION

  (Ms. JACKSON LEE asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Ms. JACKSON LEE. Mr. Speaker, I will be returning to the House 
Judiciary Committee. We have been there for more than 8 hours, maybe 11 
hours, with Peter Strzok, an FBI agent who has been vindicated by the 
inspector general regarding the Hillary Clinton emails, which were 
found to have no effect on any violation or any criminal violation, but 
yet Republicans have continued over and over again to hold these 
hearings without addressing the question of jailed children snatched 
from their families.
  Today, we understand that Health and Human Services is holding back 
the reunification of some of these babies under 5 to their moms and 
their dads on the basis of unrelatable or unnecessary predicaments of 
these parents, where they have been incarcerated for misdemeanors 
regarding immigration.
  This is the administration that really has no caring and no love for 
people.
  Finally, Mr. Speaker, the World Health Organization had the 
delegation from this Nation, not representing me, fight a country that 
was trying to support breastfeeding, and they wanted to condemn Ecuador 
for a resolution supporting breastfeeding for mothers around the world.
  What are we coming to? Where is the heart in this administration?
