She is the Omsbudsman and not ICE. There is an online conference people should pay attention to.

This conference is about normal traffic for legal immigrants. She can testify to Congress the extent backlogs are occurring. Congress should get her testimony on the record. She is probably the best historian to the dysfunction of immigration. The Republicans focus on ICE, it is time to bring reality to the real dysfunction of immigration into the USA.

She understands and is eminently qualified to prove the need for advocacy in immigration. I searched on C-Span and didn't find her testimony. That doesn't mean it doesn't exist, but, simply not in my search. Steve King was everywhere in my search criteria. That means he has been a chief instigator or the immigration dysfunction.
