Schneider Statement on ICE Resolution

July 18, 2018

Today, Congressman Brad Schneider (IL-10), released the below statement following his present vote for H. Res. 990:

"Right now, more than 2,500 children remain separated from their parents thanks to the cruel zero-tolerance policies of the Trump Administration. Rather than working to resolve this pressing humanitarian crisis, House leadership wasted hours today debating a sham resolution.

"I have great respect for the hardworking men and women of ICE who enforce our laws, as well as for the agency's important role preventing human trafficking, gun trafficking, drug crimes, and more. But I refuse to dignify today's transparent and cynical political stunt with my vote."
