         DHS IS WORKING WITH NO OVERSIGHT AND NO ACCOUNTABILITY

  (Ms. MORRISON asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. MORRISON. Mr. Speaker, I rise to express my horror at what we are 
witnessing in Minnesota. Kristi Noem's DHS has been working with no 
oversight and no accountability. The irresponsibility and recklessness 
are costing human lives.
  ICE is terrorizing our communities, indiscriminately racially 
profiling, using force against peaceful protesters, barging into 
people's homes without warrants, preventing doctors from treating their 
patients, blocking students from their classrooms, snatching children, 
elderly people, pregnant women, veterans, active military, and American 
citizens from our streets.
  Republicans have been silent while this administration terrorizes 
people in communities and violates the rights and freedoms enshrined in 
our Constitution.
  What will it take for the majority in this Congress to speak up? 
Where is your line?
  Our communities deserve the dignity of safety and justice, not the 
cruelty of silence and complicity. You can stop this. Please stand up. 
Stand up for the Constitution, stand up for freedom, stand up for 
liberty, stand up for justice, and stand up for humanity.
