                  REMEMBERING ALBERTO GUTIERREZ REYES

  (Mr. TAKANO asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. TAKANO. Mr. Speaker, Alberto Gutierrez Reyes died at ICE's 
Adelanto holding facility recently, allegedly because of a lack of 
access to medical care for chronic conditions.
  I visited this facility just weeks ago and was prevented from 
speaking with

the detainees to verify the claims made by ICE staff that they were 
adequately taking care of the detainees' medical issues. This is 
despite the law and courts clearly giving Members of Congress explicit 
oversight authorities.
  I will be returning to Adelanto and demanding answers from the agency 
that has billions of dollars to protect the homeland but could not 
provide basic medical care for someone who was in their custody.
  Until there's justice for Alberto's family and the other families 
impacted by ICE's brutality and recklessness, I will be voting ``no'' 
on any new funding for ICE or CBP.
