00:00There are so many more names that you will never hear.
00:05It is important.
00:07We only have 42 days.
00:10I don't want y'all to get distracted.
00:13I am not saying compromise who you are.
00:16I want to start by saying that I am about to be real partisan in this moment.
00:21I just am.
00:23Because I remember when there was a party that described themselves as the party of law and
00:27order, and it seems like all we're getting is lawlessness and obstruction.
00:32I think that Mr. Murphy, you have laid it out just now that you're not getting anything
00:38but obstruction and stonewalling.
00:40And I must say, because I am a lawyer, so I want to minimize some of the conversations
00:46that I have with some of you, but Ms. Carlson, as a witness to Mr. Preddy's death, has any
00:53federal agency like the DOJ or FBI reached out to you?
00:56We had a meeting with DHS, FBI, and some various forms of government on March 26th.
01:03And has anything come of that?
01:05No.
01:06Okay.
01:06So let's talk about this.
01:08Because we know that Mr. Preddy was killed on or about January 24th, 2026.
01:14Yet it doesn't seem as if anyone has been arrested for his killing, but juxtapose that with the
01:20fact that on June 19th, 2026, there was an Olympian by the name of David Hearn that was arrested
01:28for an issue with the reflecting pool.
01:31It tells me that the priorities have nothing to do with human life as it relates to this
01:38administration.
01:38In fact, this administration is engaged in division and distractions, and that takes me
01:43back to something that was said a little earlier by Mr. Ganger.
01:50You said, white people like me.
01:53Do you remember your opening statement where you said something about that?
01:56Yes.
01:57Okay.
01:58To give context to that, for those of you that don't know, my dad is a preacher.
02:02And when I go out and campaign sometimes, I usually don't pull from a Bible verse.
02:08I actually pull from usually a gospel song.
02:10And there is a song that goes, I need you to survive.
02:14And that song says, I need you, you need me, we're all a part of God's body.
02:20Stand with me, agree with me, we're all a part of God's body.
02:25The reason that I bring this up is because, unfortunately, at some point in time, we have
02:31gotten divided.
02:32And I sit here as a black woman in America that understands the terrible history that this
02:38country has had specifically with policing black folk in the past and in the present.
02:43I see the corollary between what is happening today, whether we are talking about people
02:48with accents, whether we're talking about people with less melanin than me, whether we are talking
02:53about people that simply are trying to survive.
02:56And so, again, with me being very partisan in this moment, I just want to be clear that
03:02there is only one party that isn't just talking about this.
03:06Because, sadly enough, when we look around this room, only one party showed up today.
03:11This has become a partisan issue when it should not be.
03:14And I am here to tell you that enough with the nonsense of Democrats are demons and devils
03:19and not Christians, and Democrats don't believe in lawfulness, because we do.
03:25But the difference is I believe in accountability for everybody.
03:28I don't care if you wear a uniform.
03:31The reality is that there are people that may or may not come across this and will say that
03:37I don't do politics.
03:38But I want to be clear, politics will do you.
03:41The last thing that I will say, because we do have these brave souls that are sitting here
03:46and sadly enough, they are telling their stories.
03:48But I want to be clear.
03:49I don't want y'all to think that these are one-offs.
03:51If you have been impacted by ICE in a detrimental way and you are in this room right now, I
03:56want
03:56you to stand.
04:04The reality is that there are so many more stories.
04:09There are so many more names that you will never hear.
04:13It is important.
04:16We only have 42 days.
04:19I don't want y'all to get distracted.
04:22I am not saying compromise who you are.
