                   ACCOUNTABILITY FOR SECRETARY NOEM

  (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, Americans expect us to 
address the alarming behavior of the ICE and CBP agents who have 
operated beyond acceptable boundaries of law enforcement.
  While we must stand with our law enforcement community and enforce 
our immigration laws, it is crucial that Federal agencies operate 
within the framework of public trust.
  We must uphold the rights of Americans to exercise their First and 
Second Amendment freedoms, and we also expect our Federal immigration 
officers to adhere to reasonable standards of conduct without 
interference.
  During Secretary Noem's tenure, trust has eroded. Secretary Noem, who 
has so far refused to take responsibility, must be held accountable.
  Therefore, on the floor of the people's House, I call for the 
resignation of Secretary Kristi Noem, the public face of Homeland 
Security.
