Rep. Tony Gonzales highlighted a 1,000% increase in attacks against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, emphasizing the need to support law enforcement rather than sanctuary cities, which he said enable lawlessness. He expressed optimism about the impact of the "One Big Beautiful Bill," which allocated $45 billion to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Following this funding, DHS has established task forces targeting serious criminals, including pedophiles and murderers. During the first six months of the Trump administration, ICE arrested 356 illegal immigrant gang members in the Houston area, many with criminal convictions such as murder, child sexual assault, and arson. Additionally, ICE arrested Josue Santiago Perez-Gomez, an illegal Guatemalan alien in Portsmouth, Rhode Island, who has a criminal history involving sex crimes against a child. Lawmakers have called for legislation to secure the border and reduce the flow of criminal aliens into the United States.
