                   HOMELAND SECURITY IMPROVEMENT ACT

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to clause 1(c) of rule XIX, further 
consideration of the bill (H.R. 2203) to increase transparency, 
accountability, and community engagement within the Department of 
Homeland Security, provide independent oversight of border security 
activities, improve training for agents and officers of U.S. Customs 
and Border Protection and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and 
for other purposes, will now resume.
  The Clerk read the title of the bill.


                           Motion to Recommit

  Mr. GREEN of Tennessee. Madam Speaker, I have a motion to recommit at 
the desk.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is the gentleman opposed to the bill?
  Mr. GREEN of Tennessee. Madam Speaker, I am in its present form.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will report the motion to 
recommit.
  The Clerk read as follows:

       Mr. Green of Tennessee moves to recommit the bill, H.R. 
     2203, to the Committee on Homeland Security with instructions 
     to report the same back to the House forthwith with the 
     following amendment:
       Add, at the end of section 711 of the Homeland Security Act 
     of 2002 (as proposed to be added by section 1 of the bill), 
     the following:
       ``(k) Protections for Victims of Crime in Sanctuary 
     Cities.--
       ``(1) Receipt of complaints.--The Ombudsman shall use the 
     process established under subsection (b) to receive 
     complaints--
       ``(A) from victims of crimes committed by aliens unlawfully 
     present in the United States when such crimes occur in 
     sanctuary jurisdictions; and
       ``(B) regarding the impact of illegal immigration on 
     communities located in sanctuary jurisdictions from 
     individuals within such jurisdictions.
       ``(2) Inclusion in reports.--The Ombudsman shall include in 
     the report submitted under subsection (d) the following:
       ``(A) The names of each sanctuary jurisdiction from which a 
     complaint under paragraph (1) was received.
       ``(B) Information regarding whether a detainer request was 
     issued by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement for an 
     alien related to a complaint and whether such detainer was 
     acted upon by the relevant sanctuary jurisdiction.
       ``(C) Any complaint pattern that could be prevented or 
     reduced by policy or practice changes by sanctuary 
     jurisdictions.
       ``(D) Other information or recommendations, as determined 
     appropriate by the Ombudsman.
       ``(3) Definition.--The term `sanctuary jurisdiction' means 
     a State or local government that has in effect on the 
     effective date of this section a law, regulation, or policy 
     that prohibits or in any way restricts a Federal, State, or 
     local government entity, official, or other personnel from 
     complying with the immigration laws (as defined in section 
     101(a)(17) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 
     1101(a)(17))), or from assisting or cooperating with Federal 
     law enforcement entities, officials, or other personnel 
     regarding the enforcement of such laws.''.

  Mr. GREEN of Tennessee (during the reading). Madam Speaker, I ask 
unanimous consent to dispense with the reading.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from Tennessee?
  There was no objection.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to the rule, the gentleman from 
Tennessee is recognized for 5 minutes in support of his motion.
  Mr. GREEN of Tennessee. Madam Speaker, over 180 jurisdictions in the 
United States, including our most populated cities and States have 
passed laws prohibiting local law enforcement from cooperating with 
Federal immigration officials.
  In these sanctuary jurisdictions, local law enforcement is barred 
from complying with lawful detainers from Immigration and Customs 
Enforcement. An ICE detainer is a notice to another law enforcement 
agency that ICE intends to assume custody of an illegal alien. It 
includes information on their criminal history.
  The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals found that ICE administrative 
warrants, which, unlike criminal warrants, are not issued by a judge, 
are, in fact, sufficient to detain in a county jail someone whom ICE 
might deport, even if they have been granted bail or their charges have 
been dropped.
  Madam Speaker, there are many accounts of innocent men and women and 
children murdered, raped, or assaulted by criminal aliens released by 
sanctuary cities that refuse to comply with the ICE detainer.
  In March 2018, ICE lodged a detainer on Martin Gallo-Gallardo, a 
Mexican national, in the country illegally after locating him in an 
Oregon county jail. Jail officials did not honor the immigration 
detainer and released the convicted criminal. Seven months later, he 
was arrested again, this time for killing his wife.
  In February 2019, police in San Jose, California, arrested Carlos 
Carranza, a Salvadorian national who had entered the country illegally, 
in the brutal slaying of a 59-year-old woman that he just noticed on 
the street. Carranza had an extensive criminal record, having been 
arrested half a dozen times for assault, battery, and burglary. ICE 
lodged seven detainers with local California authorities, yet, every 
single time, local authorities released him without notifying ICE, and 
now a mother of two is dead.
  Sadly, I could go on and on with these horrible true stories. The 
facts

[[Page H7975]]

are undeniable: sanctuary cities constitute a threat to public safety. 
Meanwhile, as this body fails to act, the number of victims continues 
to grow.
  We are a nation of laws, and we must uphold our laws and not reward 
State and local officials who deliberately and flagrantly disregard the 
laws of this body.
  When I was a State senator in Tennessee, we addressed the problem. I 
authored a bill and added teeth to our sanctuary city laws, anti-
sanctuary city laws, so any city that would choose to ignore the law 
would lose their State economic funding.
  It is time for Congress to act. Despite all of our disagreements, all 
this bill does is allow the victims to be heard, that is it. It 
requires the ombudsman created by this bill to collect their stories 
and the data on these victims.
  Under this amendment, any victim of a crime committed by an illegal 
immigrant in a sanctuary jurisdiction can safely and securely file a 
report with the ombudsman. This allows victims and their families an 
opportunity to be heard by policymakers in Congress and by the 
Department of Homeland Security.
  Why would we not let the victims be heard?
  The ombudsman will analyze reporting patterns, make recommendations 
on how we decrease these incidents. This amendment would at least 
provide an outlet for the growing number of victims and their families 
to ensure that their stories are told. Hopefully, we will act tonight 
on behalf of the victims.
  Madam Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
  Ms. ESCOBAR. Madam Speaker, I claim the time in opposition to the 
motion to recommit.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentlewoman from Texas is recognized for 
5 minutes.
  Ms. ESCOBAR. Madam Speaker, there is no one here who better 
understands what is happening on the southern border than those of us 
who actually live on the U.S.-Mexico border. There is no one here for 
whom border security is more important than those of us fortunate 
enough to live on the southern border.
  Since the creation of the Department of Homeland Security in 2003, 
American taxpayers have spent over $300 billion on the agencies that 
carry out immigration enforcement; and the rights of those of us who 
live within 100 miles of the border, and that is the southern border as 
well as the northern border, our rights have been eroded.
  What Congress has not done is create the corresponding transparency, 
accountability, and oversight needed over these investments. H.R. 2203 
will do that.
  The Republican motion only seeks to divide us. Quite simply, this is 
a poison pill amendment that has no relevance to what we are trying to 
do here with this bill.
  Some of my colleagues seem obsessed with dehumanizing immigrants, 
casting them as criminals to be feared and even hated.
  Let me remind Members that the recent massacre in El Paso, Texas, was 
not carried out by an immigrant, but by a killer, a U.S. citizen who 
drove 600 miles across the State of Texas to slaughter Mexicans and 
immigrants. And he did this in one of the safest cities in America. 
Immigrant communities and border communities remain among the safest 
cities in America.
  Enough.
  And my Republican colleague completely misses the point of the 
ombudsman, the office of the ombudsman. An ombudsman is supposed to be 
focused on oversight related to the inner workings of the Department, 
not on external policy issues. This amendment is a side show that 
detracts from that mission.
  Accountability, oversight, and transparency should not be 
controversial. And much of what is in this commonsense bill is 
precisely what we have seen embraced by law enforcement, local law 
enforcement in our communities. Why would we not want to have a well-
funded and powerful Federal law enforcement agency adhere to those same 
values?
  Instead of pursuing symbols of division, we ask our Republican 
colleagues to support fundamental accountability and oversight over the 
hundreds of billions of dollars we have given to DHS and support 
transparency for a powerful agency.
  History will not judge us kindly for the way that this administration 
has treated migrants, agents, and border communities like mine. It will 
judge us in this Chamber even more harshly if we continue to call for 
more symbols of division.
  Let us commit to responding in a way that honors our sacred credo of 
our country, ``E pluribus unum''--out of many, we are one.
  Let us commit to responding in a way that honors our mother of 
exiles, the Statue of Liberty, and our heritage as a nation of 
immigrants. That is who we are. It is who we always will be.
  Let's work together and make sure that our response is one filled 
with common sense and compassion.
  I urge a ``no'' vote on this motion and a ``yes'' on the underlying 
bill.
  Madam Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Without objection, the previous question is 
ordered on the motion to recommit.
  There was no objection.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion to recommit.
  The question was taken; and the Speaker pro tempore announced that 
the noes appeared to have it.


                             Recorded Vote

  Mr. GREEN of Tennessee. Madam Speaker, I demand a recorded vote.
  A recorded vote was ordered.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to clause 9 of rule XX, this 5-
minute vote on the motion to recommit will be followed by 5-minute 
votes on passage of the bill, if ordered, and adoption of House 
Resolution 576.
  The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--ayes 207,
