BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. TAKANO. Mr. Speaker, in just 1 week, this administration has conducted raids into my community to meet arbitrary deportation quotas. They have unnecessarily sent National Guard and marines, which have only inflamed peaceful protest, and they have thrown down to the ground a U.S. Senator, my U.S. Senator, and handcuffed him for trying to ask questions to DHS Secretary Noem.

This is happening because the administration does not like that they have different opinions from the State of California.

My constituents deserve more from their President, and our democracy deserves more from the President. I stand with all Californians who want to keep pushing, keep using our voice, and keep peacefully protesting the actions of this lawless President.
