Members who spoke about this bill on the floor, in their own words from the Congressional Record.

The following Senators are necessarily absent: the Senator from Missouri (Mr. Hawley), the Senator from Wyoming (Ms. Lummis), and the Senator from Kentucky (Mr. McConnell).
But I just want to explain why I think this is such an important matter. The resolution would repeal a regulation that the Trump administration has put in place concerning the appeal of immigration cases.
I rise in support of S.J. Res. 190 to disapprove of an interim final rule entitled ``Appellate Procedures for the Board of Immigration Appeals,'' a regulation from the Justice Department that would greatly limit opportunities for appeal in immigration courts.
