I rise today in search of an answer to a very simple question. Assistant Secretary Sarah Saldana. the Director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. ICE. appeared before the House Appropriations Homeland Security Subcommittee on April 15. I serve on the subcommittee. and I questioned the Assistant Secretary about President Obamas comments he made in February of this year. The President said: "If somebody is working for ICE and there is a policy and they dont follow the policy. there are going to be consequences to it." He was commenting on ICE agents following his directives and guidelines. I used this opportunity to tell the Assistant Secretary that. if I had office policies that were contrary to the law. I would understand if my employees did not want to follow them. "I would expect them to follow the law first." I said.
