              HONORING THE RETIREMENT OF MR. JASON DRAGON

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. HENRY CUELLAR

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, April 27, 2026

  Mr. CUELLAR. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the distinguished 
career and dedicated service of Mr. Jason P. Dragon as he retires after 
27 years in law enforcement.
  Mr. Dragon currently serves as the Resident Agent in Charge for U.S. 
Immigration and Customs Enforcement's Office of Professional 
Responsibility in Houston, Texas, where he has led critical efforts 
overseeing internal investigations across a six-state region.
  Throughout his tenure, he has demonstrated an unwavering commitment 
to integrity, accountability, and the rule of law.
  Over the course of his career, Mr. Dragon has taken on some of the 
most complex and demanding assignments in federal law enforcement.
  As a supervisory special agent with Homeland Security Investigations 
in Houston, he led efforts targeting violent crime and transnational 
gang activity--work that earned recognition from both the Houston 
Police Department and HSI leadership for outstanding investigative 
achievement.
  He also served our Nation abroad through the Visa Security Program, 
helping prevent criminals and suspected terrorists from entering the 
United States, and led rapid response efforts supporting ICE personnel 
and infrastructure following natural disasters.
  Earlier in his career, Mr. Dragon served at HSI Headquarters here in 
Washington, D.C., including as a Congressional Fellow in my office, 
where he played a key role in the passage of the Jaime Zapata Border 
Enforcement Security Task Force Act, strengthening our Nation's border 
security framework.
  From his early work combating child exploitation in Connecticut to 
his service as a Border Patrol agent and Connecticut State Trooper, Mr. 
Dragon's career reflects a lifelong commitment to protecting others and 
upholding justice.
  Mr. Speaker, on behalf of the 28th District of Texas, I thank Mr. 
Dragon for his decades of service and wish him the very best in his 
well-earned retirement.
