REINING IN ICE AGENTS

Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 25 (Wednesday, February 4, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 25 (Wednesday, February 4, 2026)] [House] [Page H1992] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] REINING IN ICE AGENTS (Mr. GOLDMAN of New York asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.) Mr. GOLDMAN of New York. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to condemn the out-of-control, untrained, secret ICE paramilitary that is beating and killing Americans all around the country. Under this administration, rogue, lawless immigration agents are sowing chaos, causing terror and fear, and inciting violence on our streets. They are doing it with impunity because there is no accountability from the FBI. This is not the America we know and love. This is not the democracy that freed itself from a king. This is fascism, pure and simple. If the administration will not hold these rogue agents accountable, then we must do it. That is why we must pass my ICE OUT Act to end the current qualified immunity standard for ICE and CBP agents and ensure victims of this excessive force can seek justice and accountability. I will keep pushing Congress to do everything in its power to rein in this authoritarian immigration dragnet and get ICE out of our communities. ____________________
