House Judiciary Committee Ranking Member John Conyers (MI-13) today gave the following statement during the hearing of H.Res. 446, a resolution of inquiry regarding Jeff Sessions' recusal and James Comey firing

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Members of the Committee, House Resolution 446-offered by the Gentlewoman from Washington, Mrs. Jayapal, and the Gentleman from Rhode Island, Mr. Cicilline-is an important measure.

I support it, and urge my colleagues to do the same.

House Judiciary Committee Ranking Member John Conyers (MI-13) today gave the following statement during the hearing of H.R. 391, the "The Asylum Reform and Border Protection Act."

H.R. 391, the "Asylum Reform and Border Protection Act," is unfortunately yet another anti-immigrant measure premised on rhetoric and misinformation.

Notwithstanding the bill's short title, H.R. 391 does nothing to reform our Nation's asylum system. In fact, it dismantles it.

House Judiciary Committee Ranking Member John Conyers (MI-13) today gave the following statement during the hearing of H.R. 2887, the "No Regulation Without Representation Act of 2017."

Before I begin my remarks, I'd like to take a moment to recognize Joseph Ehrenkrantz for his dedicated service to the House of Representatives. Over the past two years, he has diligently served the House Judiciary Committee as a Professional Staff Member.
