Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman, and I especially want
to thank him for his leadership on this. Nearly 2 years ago, Kate Steinle, a young woman with a promising
future, had her life tragically taken away from her when she was
brutally murdered by an undocumented criminal who had been convicted of
a series of felonies and had been deported five times; five times, and
then he kept coming back, and then he finally killed this innocent
young woman, Kate Steinle. Sadly, this tragic event barely registered with the previous
administration and other supporters of dangerous sanctuary city
policies. During a July 2015 hearing, shortly after Kate's murder, I
asked President Obama's Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson whether
the White House had reached out to the Steinle family. I will never forget what the Secretary said to me.
