                      ICE STEWART DETENTION CENTER

  (Mr. DAVIS of North Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DAVIS of North Carolina. Mr. Speaker, for far too long, Congress 
has kicked the can down the road on meaningful action on immigration 
reform, and there is still significant work to be done to secure our 
border.
  Meanwhile, families in eastern North Carolina are facing dire 
consequences from illegal drugs and crime in communities. People back 
home want Congress to act.
  Clearly, this isn't just an issue for border communities. It affects 
all of us.
  With a decline in unlawful entries into our country, our attention 
has shifted to Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
  Recently, I visited the ICE Detention Center servicing eastern North 
Carolina, followed by the Stewart Detention Center in Lumpkin, Georgia, 
where detainees from eastern North Carolina are transported. I also 
made a trip to Guantanamo Bay with members of the Armed Services 
Committee.
  To be clear, we must not compromise public safety and we must adhere 
to the Constitution.
