House Oversight Subcommittee on Cybersecurity, Information Technology, and Government Innovation Chairwoman Nancy Mace will preside over a hearing titled "Leveraging Technology to Strengthen Immigration Enforcement." The session aims to explore how advanced technology can improve immigration enforcement, identify barriers to its implementation, and streamline procurement processes for federal agencies.

Chairwoman Mace stated, “The technological capabilities that the U.S. possesses grow by the day and it is incumbent on Congress to look at ways to integrate this technology to assist the brave men and women enforcing our immigration laws. While the Biden Administration intentionally created the worst border crisis in our nation’s history and allowed criminal aliens to pour into our communities, this body is committed to identifying innovative avenues to deploy cutting-edge technology to help federal immigration agents get criminal aliens off the streets so they can be deported.”

The hearing is scheduled for Tuesday, March 4, 2024, at 10:00 AM ET in Room 2247 of the Rayburn House Office Building. It will feature witnesses including John Fabbricatore, former Senior Executive and Field Office Director of ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations; Dr. Doug Gilmer, retired Senior Law Enforcement Advisor and Special Agent in Charge of ICE Homeland Security Investigations; and Simon Hankinson from The Heritage Foundation.

The event is open to both the public and press with a livestream available at Oversight.House.Gov. For media inquiries, contact sc01press@mail.house.gov.
