Mr. FLOOD. Mr. Speaker, the arrest of a man in Omaha accused of leading the plot to attack the White House's UFC event this month is a stark reminder about the threats that face our Nation.

According to DHS, the suspect entered the U.S. illegally and allegedly sought to make the attack `` . . . as deadly as we can get.''

This case underscores the importance of securing our borders, enforcing our immigration laws, and remaining vigilant against those who seek political violence rather than political debate.

I am grateful to the Omaha FBI, working together with the Nebraska State Patrol, who arrested this alleged ringleader before lives were put at risk. Their professionalism and commitment to help keep our communities safe happens every day.

Regardless of ideology or political affiliation, political violence is never acceptable. We must reject extremism, promote civil discourse, and work together to lower the temperature of political rhetoric.

I thank our law enforcement officers once again for making this arrest.
