Thank you. It sounds like a low IQ implementation to me. So let's go to the next one. Does poor working conditions assist with recruitment? Yes or no.
No. No.
No.
No.
Sounds like another low IQ implementation to me. And finally, I'm going to start with Mr. Potter because I don't know how this is going to go. Does union busting help with recruitment?
I'm sorry.
Okay. So again, another low IQ implementation. I just want to be clear that The American people should know that these are all Trump 2.0 policies. So when we say that he's failed, let me tell you, we got receipts and those are some of the receipts. So when we start talking.
Perhaps I'll try something a little different this time because I have made repeated offers to the chairman to try to engage him in debate. I've made good faith efforts to convince my colleagues that they should rise to the occasion and on behalf of their constituents, be willing to defend their values, defend the positions that they have taken. But that has fallen, unfortunately.
on deaf ears and just blanket refusal on the part of my Republican colleagues to engage in any kind of debate. So what I will just do, I will give my Republican colleagues an opportunity to explain to their constituents, to their colleagues and to the American people why they believe this amendment should not be approved by the committee.
statements that Mr. Ales had made in the prior year. One was, you could not pay me to marry outside my ethnicity. Another was that he wanted to normalize Indian hate. A third was, just for the record, I was racist before it was cool. And another was, I just want a eugenic immigration policy. Is that too much to ask? This man resigned shortly after that article was published.
Okay. I appreciate that. Although it appears that he then later turned up, that he was rehired, I guess, and that he's continuing.
Okay. But he was continuing to do work. But in this instance, HHS and three other departments. I have no idea. I didn't follow his career. OK, well, you didn't catch J.D. Vance saying that he didn't think he should be terminated. Did you miss that, too? I don't recall that. All right. Do you recall Mr. Trump saying that he. should have a second chance. I don't recall that. No, okay.
Do you believe that the Constitution grants everyone in our country the right to due process, including non-citizens?
Yes or no. Do you believe the... Yes, ma'am. We have not conducted any kind of empowerment. Mr. Chairman. Okay. Secretary Noem, I'm just looking for a yes or no here. Do you believe the Constitution guarantees due process to everyone in America?
Yes or no. Okay, ma'am, I'll take that as a no. Excuse me, ma'am, I'm trying to ascertain your understanding of the law as it applies to your department. And you as its leader should be able to give us a yes or no answer because judge after judge has ruled that the law is not being followed. Do you believe that the U.S. government has the authority to deport American citizens?
No, and we are not deporting U.S. citizens. I'm so happy to hear that you do not believe that the law gives you that authority because the federal government has no authority under U.S. laws to deport any American citizen. And as I know, everyone viewing this hearing today knows that several American citizens have been deported to date. Secretary Noem, that was not a question.
Secretary Noem, that oath that we both swore before taking office was to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States, not the president. not a political party, the Constitution. And that's what we're going to keep doing here at the Appropriations Committee. Thank you. I yield back.
Were any of the individuals who were deported, who had U.S. citizen children deported with them, were they given an opportunity to sign that form?
And did ICE follow through on the policy?
Ma'am, ma'am, ma'am, reclaiming my time. I told you at the top of this, ma'am, ma'am, reclaiming my time. I said the questions are really simple, yes or no. Was that form used in any of those cases? I will get back to you on that specific form.
