              MARWAN MAROUF NEEDS HUMANITARIAN PAROLE NOW

  (Ms. JOHNSON of Texas asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Ms. JOHNSON of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to share the story of 
my constituent, Marwan Marouf.
  Marwan has lived in the United States for more than 40 years. He is a 
devoted father of U.S. citizens, a respected community leader, and he 
has no criminal history. He suffers from a life-threatening heart 
condition and has fully complied with every requirement of our 
immigration system, submitting every application on time, providing 
extensive documentation, and cooperating completely with USCIS.
  Yet, 2 months ago, after dropping his 15-year-old son off at school, 
Marwan was detained by ICE. This is a man who founded the largest Boy 
Scout troop in north Texas, who delivered food and supplies to families 
across our community during the pandemic, and who is recognized by the 
city of Richardson for his outstanding service to our community.
  Tomorrow, Marwan faces a proceeding where he will face removal. I 
have repeatedly requested humanitarian parole on his behalf, and those 
requests have gone unanswered.
  Mr. Speaker, Marwan is exactly the kind of person humanitarian parole 
was created for: a dedicated public servant, husband, and father. I 
urge DHS to grant him humanitarian parole.
