                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, January 7, 2025

  Mr. TORRES of New York. Mr. Speaker, on Roll Call No. 429 of the 
118th Congress, which was H.R. 7909 the Violence Against Women by 
Illegal Aliens Act, I voted in error NAY, when I fully intended to vote 
YEA. I am here to set the record straight: I strongly support 
legislation that deports the worst violent criminals, including sex 
offenders. There should be zero tolerance for sex offenders in our 
society.
