June 10, 2019
WASHINGTON — Rep. Doug Collins (R-Ga.), Ranking Member of the House Judiciary Committee, released the following statement regarding further accommodations the Justice Department has offered to Judiciary Democrats. “The Justice Department has yet again offered accommodations to House Democrats, and I am glad Chairman Nadler — for the first time in months — has finally met them at the negotiating table. Today’s good faith provision from the administration further debunks claims that the White House is stonewalling Congress, which Chairman Schiff’s successful negotiations with the Justice Department already showed.

“[Monday’s hearing] appears to be part of a strategy to turn the Committee’s oversight hearings into a mock-impeachment inquiry rather than a legitimate exercise in congressional oversight. Conducting such hearings inevitably sets this Committee on a collision course with the longstanding Rules of the House, which you have apparently alluded to as recently as this week.”

WASHINGTON — Rep. Doug Collins (R-Ga.), Ranking Member of the House Judiciary Committee, released the following statement in response to the Justice Department’s openness to continuing to accommodate Judiciary Democrats’ demand for documents. “After racing to hold Attorney General Barr in contempt, Chairman Nadler finally seems ready to join the Justice Department at the negotiating table. When Judiciary Democrats wield subpoena power like a sword instead of a plow, their investigations bear little fruit. The House Intelligence Committee has shown us that working with the Justice Department in good faith yields documents.

"[Democrats] had a chance to show they are serious about an immigration solution for DACA recipients, and perhaps even for the DREAMers they have talked about 'protecting' for years. Instead, today we are considering a political messaging bill. The message: America won’t enforce its laws or protect its people. . . . Republicans want to provide legal status for DACA recipients. We want to do it the right way — to minimize fraud, ensure criminals cannot get legal status and bolster border security. Without these commonsense and compassionate measures, we will find ourselves repeating this conversation a few years from now.”

WASHINGTON — Reps. Doug Collins (R-Ga.), Ranking Member of the House Judiciary Committee, Martha Roby (R-Ala.); Ranking Member of the Subcommittee on Courts, Intellectual Property and the Internet; and Hank Johnson (D-Ga.), Chairman of the Subcommittee on Courts, Intellectual Property and the Internet, will lead a roundtable discussion today with Amazon, eBay, Home Depot, Nike and several other companies to discuss ways to combat the sale of counterfeit products online. The roundtable will help companies voluntarily develop best practices to protect trademarks and consumers. “Counterfeit products pose a significant threat to companies and consumers,” said Collins.

"Contending an unborn child has no life to lose becomes impossible when we reflect — even momentarily — on what an abortion entails. . . . Let us not speak of abortion as a victimless choice. At best, abortions aim to ease one person’s suffering at the expense of another person’s existence. We must cultivate compassion and practical support for women who find themselves pregnant under difficult or oppressive circumstances, and we must protect the most defenseless humans among us — those living in the womb. One person’s reproductive right cannot outweigh another person’s right to live."

"I call upon you to hold a series of hearings in which we can consider various experts’ opinions regarding the threat Russia and other nefarious actors have played, and may continue to play, in our elections."

WASHINGTON — Rep. Doug Collins (R-Ga.), Ranking Member of the House Judiciary Committee, released the following statement after the Department of Homeland Security’s Office of the Inspector General report called for action to address overcrowding at the El Paso Del Norte Processing Center. “The overcrowding at this El Paso facility is a result of Democrats’ refusal to address the crisis at our southern border. Thousands of migrants will continue to cross into to the U.S.

WASHINGTON — Rep. Doug Collins (R-Ga.), Ranking Member of the House Judiciary Committee, traveled to America’s southern border this week to see the work Customs and Border Protection officials and Immigration and Customs Enforcement are doing to address the escalating border crisis. “The El Paso processing centers, like so many on our southern border, are far beyond capacity and are severely understaffed because of the large number of migrants crossing the border every day,” said Collins. “People lined up wall-to-wall in the facility, waiting to be processed after entering the country illegally. Almost all the migrants I spoke with said they were coming into the U.S. to work.
