              DENOUNCING ICE RAIDS IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA

  (Mr. CISNEROS asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CISNEROS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to denounce the ICE raids in 
southern California carried out this past weekend and the President's 
unilateral decision to deploy the National Guard and, now, the Marines.
  The President claims to be going after violent criminals, but in 
reality, ICE is rounding up individuals off the street with no 
warrants, including children. Local and State law enforcement did not 
ask for assistance.
  Donald Trump is escalating the situation and making it more dangerous 
for everyone. Just today, he said the National Guard is preventing the 
violence on the street, and that is a flat-out lie. The National Guard 
is standing on the sidelines, watching as local law enforcement handles 
the situation.
  Now, he is sending in the Marines. This is not the mission of the 
Marines. They aren't trained for this. Sending them on ICE raids will 
only provoke confrontation.
  The President is playing with the lives of Californians, and the 
military is the pawn in his political game. He wants to create a 
conflict that will allow him to invoke the Insurrection Act or martial 
law--God only knows why--but California will never ever bend to the 
will of a tyrant.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Hurd of Colorado). Members are reminded 
to refrain from engaging in personalities toward the President.
