I do believe we should ensure that there is a notification prior to release of a dangerous individual with a criminal record. just as Senator SCHUMER said on this floor. I do believe we could take a narrow action to do just that. We could focus on dangerous individuals and not on all undocumented immigrants who happen to be taken into State or local custody. We could require notification without threatening vital law enforcement and local government funding. as Senator VITTERs bill does. I had an amendment prepared for the Judiciary Committees consideration when the committee had scheduled the bill for markup over a series of weeks. but the committee canceled its markup. so we were on the floor today with a bill that has never been heard in full by the Judiciary Committee.
