COMSTOCK. This is a marked improvement over current law where
ICE must wait for specific convictions before removal proceedings can
commence. The bill preserves, as my colleague has already identified,
all the due process and appellate rights afforded to any alien facing
deportation. An immigration judge must be convinced that the evidence in the
record supports the finding. I encourage support of this legislation
today, which will strengthen and enforce our laws against known violent
gang members. I also will continue to work with my colleagues on other
matters, such as the bill I introduced earlier this summer, to provide
additional resources to our regional gang task forces for their
education, intervention, and enforcement efforts.
