During the House Foreign Affairs Committee's roll for HR 6297, several members reported problems with the electronic voting display and controls, saying they could not see their names or register votes. The clerk worked to resolve the issue before closing the vote.
While members waited for the system, Unidentified Speaker 2 made an extended, partisan comment referencing Representative Delia Ramirez and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). In the transcript Unidentified Speaker 2 said in part: "So this this Delia Ramirez said, DHS is the single biggest threat to public safety now. So I tweeted this out. Of course, she says this because ICE will hopefully someday deport her illegal husband. Ramirez herself is only an American because her mom came here illegally." The transcript records no direct response to that statement.
Clerk tallies reported the vote on the measure (HR 6297) as ayes 49, noes 0, and the motion was agreed to. The remarks are recorded in the transcript but do not appear to have prompted a formal point of order or a disciplinary action in the record. The committee proceeded with remaining agenda items and adjourned after completing votes on the measures noticed for the day.
